Pros: I wanted the exact model of remote that came with my original so it would match. It is in perfect condition and works precisely. No problems syncing it with my garage door opener. Works flawlessly.

Cons: My old remote now looks bad next to this fancy new replacement

Most Critical Review

Requires Firmware Upgrade to Work

Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Vertex Plus 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXPL30G.RF
Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Vertex Plus 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXPL30G.RF

Pros: As it is a solid state drive, It is quiet and fast.

Cons: It arrived with firmware 3.50 installed, which lost data constantly. I would install an OS, reboot, and the system would report it could not find the boot files. After reviewing the forums, I determined a firmware upgrade to version 3.55 was necessary. Unfortunately, the live CD iso file the manufacturer provided had lots of problems. I found an alternative live USB iso file and it worked, but only after I installed the drive in a different system where I could go into the BIOS and tweak the SATA mode. It took me a couple days of messing around with trial and error attempts before I could get the drive to work properly. Here is the link to the forum you will need if you want to get the USB live iso that worked for me: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?95716-Vertex-Plus-firmware-3-55

Overall Review: If you're willing to put lots of time into troubleshooting and updating the firmware, this can be a good drive.
