Pros: This Drive has lasted me well over 7 years and still works pretty well, I would buy another to replace mine because of its age.

Cons: The speed starts to dwindle a bit after a long time uses.

Overall Review: I bought this 7 years ago to get more Hard Drive space, I needed it for steam games and backups for stuff I had. It has had a lot of use and abuse and still keeps ticking, its almost time for me to replace it, but for now it does what it was meant to do.

Card is dieing, and the 3 years is almost up and not sure I can live without a 3D card

Pros: Fastest Card I have ever seen before the 400 series came out.... however, I started having issues about 2 or 4 months after using this card, but I dismissed it as a simple power spike or failure. Was a fair price at teh time, I was in a hurry, needed somethign fast affordable, and this was it. Warrenty is almost up and not sure I will be able to get an RMA...

Cons: This Card worked fine untill 4 months after I had gotten it, since then its been down hill, benchmarks for 3Dmark06 went from 13k to 11k in 2 years time, I even formatted to see if it helped, and it didn't. The card is slowly dieing, and my warrenty is almost up. I can not live without some type of display for my computer, I have not back-up. I am needing this RMAed but I am doubting Gigabyte will do it.

Overall Review: Card now shuts my PC down after intense 3D Gaming for several Hours, mind you I have a 750 Watt Power supply with the bells and whsitles I bought it when I got this puppy. Now Its running below par, liek its sick and dieing. I air cleaned it, dusted it, and still runs poor. Went from 60 FPS to 30 FPS drops in most intense games. I am kinda worried about Gigabyte selling OC Hand Picked Cards, and not sure if I want to buy another or not, if they only last 2 n half years of purchase.
