Pros: I'm using one of these along with it's younger brother, the 80 gig version. Surprisingly quiet for their speed, and heat hasn't been any problem at all. Fast read/write times as well; the only thing that might choke your load times (CPU and RAM excluded) is your CD/DVD drive for game media. These are very impressive pieces of hardware. Seagate is also well-known for their reliabilty, from my personal experiences, at the very least.
Cons: None. Perfect SATA drives for running whatever you might desire. They even come in 200+ gig models, if you really need that much space.
