Pros: Very reliable. Out of ~20 Deskstar drives I have had over the years I have only had 2 fail in less than 3 years of always on use. IBM/Hitachi promptly sent RMA replacements both times. I still use the older 30G/40G IDE drives to store backup data on.

Cons: None

Pros: Possibly the price with rebate.

Cons: BIOS detects as PC5300 (see the OCZ website for details). Curious behavior since this is sold as PC6400. Can force to PC6400 but I had 1 pair fail at PC6400. 2 other pairs are working at PC6400 ok .. so far.

Overall Review: Crucial or Corsair have been better choices.

Pros: Solar powered, Motion sensing, Brighter than I expected. Can be used as a flashlight if necessary. Will be nice to use when camping, especially with the motion sensor. We have two of these, no issues at all. They work as advertised.

Cons: Would have been nice to have better mounting system. The clamps it comes with are a bit clumsy.

Pros: Enermax Power supplies have been very reliable for me. Modular cords are nice and long. Gold certified. Nearly silent operation.

Cons: None

Pros: Works with all drives I have tried.

Cons: None

Overall Review: A external drive that is only used as a backup and not constantly on will last for many years. Makes recovery of a failed drive or virus infected PCs easy by having a clean ghost image on an external drive. Takes all of 15 minutes to restore a failed or infected PC.

Pros: Might be ok if it will fit on the motherboard.

Cons: The fins are too low and too wide to fit on some boards. Won't fit on Asus M2N32. Fins hit memory and the chipset heat sink long before it touches the cpu.
