Most Favorable Review

Bought this to upgrade from 60GB PS3

SAMSUNG Spinpoint M6 HM500LI 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Quiet as a mouse, more quiet than the original 60GB! Easy Install! Slapped it in and it worked! No need to format, no weird screens, nothing, you put it in it works, simple. Copies things faster than original HD! I really can't believe this but it does! I copy data at about 2-3 times faster. Install and download times are exactly the same, maybe Sony could patch this stuff to make it go faster, seems they should. Tons O' space.

Cons: Didn't ship in a box, shipped in bubblewrap but was factory sealed in the original static bag, kinda weird, guess they do this to save on cost which is why you can get this for $99 I suppose. Like all harddrives you end up with less storage than is advertised. After PS3 is full installed and ready to go you will have 413GB os useable space, still a ton.

Overall Review: I've read other posts where people said this drive was loud. I haven't experienced this at all, it's SOOO quiet. It also runs at exactly the same temperature as the original factory HD.

High Yield = :)

Unique Shooter

ATI Gift - Free Game (Blacklight: Tango Down) Game Code
ATI Gift - Free Game (Blacklight: Tango Down) Game Code

Pros: Fast gameplay Good graphics

Cons: Repetitive

Overall Review: Got this game free when I bought my ATI Radeon 5770 HD and didn't expect much, I was a bit surprised at how good it looked and ran, it is nice to look at and has neat effects. The combat is fast and fun, somewhere between Modern Warfare and Unreal Tournament. It can get a bit repetitive, but the fast gameplay makes up for it. I got it for free, but I would say it is worth $20 or less, especially for the Live achievements.

Pros: Runs cool and quiet Low power Consumption GREAT Price to performance ratio

Cons: None, Zero, Zilch, Nill This is one of the best pci-e cards EVER made.

Overall Review: This card is stellar! One problem i've had with Nvidia over the years is that they are great cards for gaming, but usually lackluster in the audio and HD video department. This card is just as good at gaming as an Nvidia card , but also has PHENOMENAL sound and HD video processing! First off to get it out of the way, this card can run Metro 2033 at around 30-45 fps on "high" DX11 settings, now that right there should tell you something! Also can run Crysis MAXED on VERY HIGH at around 30-45. Serious Sam HD MAXED at a constant 60 fps. This is just a few examples with my pc which has 4 gb of DDR3 and AMD Athlon 2 635. Now right off the bat that is some very good game performance for a card at this price point, but the sweet part is it also knocks HD video and audio out of the park! If you want to play Metro 2033 at "very high" or you want 50+ fps in Crysis, well you are going to have to buy another card that costs around $400+ and have a TOP of the line cpu. When you

Better than Average.

Pros: eSata connection and it comes with an eSata cord! Base for it to sit in. Nice screw placement. Nice slim, good looking design, nice LED.

Cons: Can get fairly hot. That's to be expected though, but a smal ventilation hole couldn't have hurt.

Overall Review: Unless you are getting a ventilated unit, can't imagine a better basic one than this.
