Pros: This is a rebranded Foxconn. It was easy to set up and runs fine (although I'm not an overclocker).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Was a good deal after rebate for a low end system.

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: This drive is awful. I bought it only for Blu-Ray, my previous drive was fine. I've not tried Blu-Ray yet, but every third or fourth DVD burn is a bad burn with the ASUS drive. The DVDs are good quality Ridata that worked fine with my previous drive. I've contacted ASUS technical support twice and ASUS sends me back useless responses like defragment your hard drive and make sure DMA is enabled. I'd try to return it to Newegg, but I sent the rebate in. I'm going to have to reinstall my old drive and I'm just out the purchase price on this one.

Overall Review: Asus used to be a good company, what happened? Never again.

Pros: Works great.

Cons: The fan is maybe a little noisy, but the sound is a very smooth, white noise that I find almost soothing. I've started sleeping at night with just the fan on to drown out extraneous noise and tinnitus.

Pros: Inexpensive. Works great.

Cons: Does not massage my back and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

Pros: This is a very nice, sturdy case for the money. Well laid out. The fans keep it cool, yet it are nearly silent.

Cons: It does not slice, dice or make thousands of Julienne fries.

Pros: Work fine. Like new.

Cons: The two I received said v2 on the back, but were really v1.
