Pros: Very fast and excellent price performance, couldn't be happier.

Cons: None so far. I'm a little worried about MTBF given what one reviewer wrote re: "one month in", will report back after some time has passed to weigh in on this.

Overall Review: I bought this drive to replace a 40 gb Mushkin w/ SATA II interface that I had been using as a boot drive. That drive was impressive unto itself, but this one is noticeably faster!

Pros: Reads and writes dvds like a champ, USB 3.0 is a plus

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: After purchasing a new case for my computer, I realized that the new case did not have any bays for optical drives. This bothered me for a moment, then I realized, when's the last time I used a disc? Well, every now and then it comes up. I gave up my internal drive with SATA interface, and now I can use this one at my convenience, as can my girlfriend and pretty much anyone else with a USB port that I lend it out to.

Pros: The straight to right angle was exactly what I needed to hook up my ssd. 10" was long enough without taking excess space in my Rosewill Challenger mid tower. Exactly what I needed, really.

Cons: None

Pros: Effective, cheap, reliable, never a problem.

Cons: None.

Pros: Like most of the other reviews on here, I've used this card to play a lot of contemporary games on high quality settings and it never misses a beat. It's also still one of the top price performers according to Passmark, so what more can you ask for?

Cons: None that I've noticed.

Overall Review: I run a stock cooling system (well, one additional fan added) in a Rosewill Challenger case and temp has never been an issue for me (though haven't OC'd yet).

Pros: Using as my boot drive for Win7 64 bit Premium, in conjunction with Core i5 2500k, I get boot times under 15 seconds from pushing the power button, not overclocked. I'm very happy with the speed.

Cons: Could be bigger, but I knew that going in.

Overall Review: My case (Rosewill Challenger) had a special cradle designed to adapt to this drive's 2.5" size, without that I'm not sure how I would have mounted the thing. Something to give thought to.
