Pros: This Garmin is just plain better than the other "top" brand. The updating is easier and cleaner. Although I haven't used it on an extended trip as of yet, around DFW it chooses really good routes, and usually less traveled. The traffic information is accurate and the rerouting seems to miss the crowd.

Cons: I suppose there's no way to avoid it, but in order to have the traffic update, you must have the unit plugged in to the vehicle charger. The charger wire acts as the antenna. OKAY??

Overall Review: Think I should have gotten one with bluetooth. Or, maybe they could put an ear bud socket?

Pros: Adaptec has never let me down before, and I don't think they can be blamed for my ignorance now. My research revealed PCI-X has been around for a while, but primarily used in Intel and/or server based Mobo's. Being an AMD advocate, I had never heard of PCI-X. I don't feel too foolish, 2/3'rds of my fellow network techs hadn't heard of it, either. For the mere fact that I RMA'd this unit because of a lesson learned, I enter this as a "PRO" totally on my solid history of good experiences with Adaptec. I'm sure this unit would work just fine, provided you have a PCI-X slot to put it in.

Cons: It says "backwards compatible with "PCI 33/66 MHz"...This does not mean it will plug INTO a PCI SLOT. I'm a tad curious at this. If you can't plug it INTO a PCI slot, how do they know it's backwards compatible.....maybe it just doesn't plug into a "Universal" PCI slot?

Overall Review: PCI-X is intended to be a server based fixture for hot swap requirements. I think I'm just going to adaptec more stringent naming convention filtering, in my purchase decisions.

Pros: Robust production drive, easily installed upgrade. oh heck it's FAST

Cons: None

Overall Review: Good stuff, Maynard.

Pros: WAY FAST. Used this for my production drive. The boot time is ridiculously fast. There is no wait time to bring up programs. I'm not a game player, so can't comment on that end of things. However, I can't imagine the response could be anything but wonderful

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Easy install and way fast

Pros: Right stuff. Exact fit. Well made and sturdy.

Overall Review: Love my Z 4 and the cables reach far enough!

Pros: These little gizmos are slick as a whistle. To heck with sending big files from your phone to your PC via Bluetooth. That takes too long. And you can take your work with you, without bother.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Easy, I love'em
