Pros: Burned a few cd's & dvd's, including rewritables. Not a single error or bad burn. Works great with EAC ripper too.

Cons: Doubt I'll ever use M-DISC but it came with a free one so who knows.

Pros: Black Friday special; data migration software worked this time

Cons: the data migration software is hit or miss

Overall Review: Upgraded from an Intel 160GB to this 240GB. The data migration software, which is basically Intel's rebranded Acronis, has worked 3 out of 5 times that I have used it. If it does not work for you, get the MiniTool Partition Wizard free edition.. it will work and is free.

Pros: laptop booted up first time with no memory errors

Cons: none so far

Pros: LED bulbs, Black Friday special

Cons: none so far

Pros: Crystal clear and crisp sound

Cons: Takes some getting used to a center channel

Overall Review: Some keys to adjusting to a center channel: * content - be mindful that movies, television broadcast, and music can and will have different channel content * AVR - receiver may have many different settings that will make different content types sound better with (or even without) a center channel speaker

Pros: 4 hard drives of various vendors and sizes and flavors of SATA, no issues so far

Cons: The Sybausa site is not very easily navigated. Finally found the drivers. Did the Device Manager right click update driver method, and it took a very long time, several minutes, thought it might be hung, but finally installed ok.

Overall Review: Transferring many 3GB - 10GB sized video files between hard drives on this controller, on average I was getting 110MB sec.
