Fan version is TOO LOUD
Pros: - Fast - Looks Cool
Cons: - The fan is VERY loud and noticeable.
Overall Review: The fan is VERY loud and noticeable. My PC is silent otherwise (all fans go to 0 RPM under casual use) and the tiny fan on the SSD is extremely noticeable. I'm considering removing the heat sink and just using my motherboard's built-in heatsink. I also might consider just unplugging the power to the fan and seeing how it does without it running. I recommend buying the version with no fan/heatsink and using your motherboard heatsink.
Nice System
Pros: Nice and small form factor, 250GB hard drive. Great for Folding@Home also.
Cons: None.
Great
Pros: No matter what Bill Gates says, you can never have enough memory. By putting 12GB of RAM in your machine you can be sure that you will never have a memory bottleneck.
Cons: None
Nice Drive
Pros: So far this seems like a great drive. It is very quiet and runs cool enough.
Cons: The backlight of the Cavalry logo is quite bright.
Overall Review: This drive costs the exact same as the bare HDD by itself.
Good HDD
Pros: Huge capacity and decent transfer rates.
Cons: Computer will not boot with the drive plugged in, must unplug the USB cable before starting computer.
Overall Review: I now have 2.46TB of storage space attached to my computer, I remember our first Windows based PC that had a 250MB HDD!! And of course the good old Apple II.
