Pros: Very powerful. I may only play team Fortress 2, but I made it so pretty my friends frown at me. Great price. (And Batman: Arkham Asylum as long as they're offering it. Also a good thing.)

Cons: She runs a wee bit hotter than my last card. Installed the utility software, bumped it from 40 to 60%. Helps a lot with heat on both idle and load.

Overall Review: Needs 2x6 PCI-E plugs, but you probably already knew that. When I pulled it out of the box, I lightly tapped it with a beer bottle and dubbed it U.S.S. OMGHUGE. Thing can land aircraft on it.

Pros: Small, USB powered, reliable.

Cons: None really, it runs far better than what I originally expected anything without an AC adapter to do.

Overall Review: They recommend using both ends on the USB cable, but I accidentally forgot to plug one into my EEEPC and it still installed Windows 7 fine. So it seems to draw very little power for its ability. (I'd still make it a point to use both plugs, just in case anything gets weird.)

Pros: Long battery life, tiny receiver that doesn't get in the way, very responsive and compact.

Cons: Heh, the receiver. Careful not to lose it. Also, could be a pain for large handed types who like to game with their notebooks.

Pros: Newer, runs cooler, UI F/W is far more stable and has better features, sleeker looking, and the power light doesn't stay on all derned night. oh, and all sorts of neat cables, whether you use HDMI or Component.

Cons: *shrugs* It came with the card. Think the guy who didn't receive one got unlucky.

Pros: Very, very fast. I'm not posting throughput as the fellow below me did and my numbers are close enough to his to refer to... Plenty of space for any user that doesn't back up every cd and film in his library. Easy to install in notebooks... for pcs, you'll need a mounting kit.

Cons: Price, probably. It's comparable to other drives of the same size, but it'll still set anyone without a well paying job back quite a bit. It MIGHT run mildly warm, or it could just be this notebook, as it has equipment surrounding the drive. Even so, cooler than spindle drives.

Pros: Excellent drive... fast, responsive, spacious.

Cons: Well the first one I got was a brick, but I RMA'd it. Then it went out of stock, but, I waited for it to come back. No reason to kill an egg over simple things, I'm forgiving. Supposedly runs a wee bit thermal.

Overall Review: As said, the first was DOA, but I didn't feel docking the product as a whole was necessary, as with hard drives, some are bound to have a troublesome percentage.
