Steady as a rock, great performance!

Pros: Low power draw, 3.6ghz Turbo performance, runs incredibly cool.

Cons: What's not to like!

Overall Review: I chose this for a purpose-built digital audio workstation computer that needs stability and cpu performance at high levels. I am totally happy with this purchase!

Most Critical Review

P.O.S!

Seagate Pipeline HD ST3500312CS 500GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Pipeline HD ST3500312CS 500GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Super cheap

Cons: Super high failure rate

Overall Review: Installed OS and several other softwares, at approx 10 hrs of use, it failed to boot, sent failure messages, and failed SMART communication. I certainly don't trust the "Pipeline" series at this point.

Did what they said

Autel Maxiscan MS300 OBDII OBD2 Car Auto Diagnostic scanner Code Reader Scan Tool CAN

Pros: Displays full codes, easy to use, very inexpensive, figured out the issue instantly. Have owned code scanners in years past, this one was less than half the price, and has a full code display. My old school ones had flashing lights, it was like reading Morse Code.

Cons: None

Pros: Fast, cheap, WD made!

Cons: None

Overall Review: No matter what else I seem to try, I keep coming back to WD drives. Amazingly great drive for $40. Really fast drive, lightning fast boot times even with old P43200 PC!
