Most Favorable Review

Almost perfect

VANTEC 4-Port SATA 150 PCI Combo Host Card w/RAID Model UGT-ST320R
VANTEC 4-Port SATA 150 PCI Combo Host Card w/RAID Model UGT-ST320R

Pros: Item works perfectly

Cons: The egg I removed was due to the driver only being made available on the accompanying CD-ROM. I was unable to locate drivers anywhere on the website. For anyone needing to download drivers, see the "other thoughts" section below.

Overall Review: Having been in a situation where I needed an additional port for my CD/DVD drive replacement and my 4 sata ports in use by the HDD containing the host OS and the remaining 3 in use by a 3x1TB RAID array in near constant use... the CD containing the drivers was of little use. Most manufacturers make drivers available on their website. Unfortunately, Vantec does not appear to. I went ahead and made drivers for a variety of their products (drivers found on the CD), including this one, available for download vantec.kuahara.com/drivers

Fast, but doesn't last

OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G
OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G

Pros: Fast when it works

Cons: My first one died in 10 months. Left it a 1 egg rating then, leaving it another one now. OCZ replaced the first one. When I received the 2nd one, I used it as a storage device (didn't feel like installing windows on it all over again) and it worked fine for a few months. When I built my son's machine, I gave him the SSD and installed windows on it. Worked fine for 3 weeks. After the 3rd week, we started experiencing BSOD at windows login several times, then a red light of death on the drive. Another one bites the dust. This OCZ was both the first and second drive I've ever had fail on me in 15 years of HDD purchases.

Greatest motherboard ever :)

Scam

Ordered 5 batteries and 5 chargers. The clinic I ordered for received 5 batteries, but only 1 charger. Seller refused to correct the issue and so far Newegg has been of little assistance.
