Pros: Pretty quick, cheap price

Cons: Can get a bit hot, failed once (the one inside my external drive)

The Bottom Line: 500GB for the right price, and good performance to boot.

Pros: Inexpensive way to get a fast, reliable hard drive to supplement or be primary storage.

Cons: You need to be or become SATA or SATA II compatible.

The Bottom Line: This is a keeper and a very rare 5 star from me. It answered the issues I had at a relatively nominal cost.

Pros: Quiet. Fast in RAID 0. Very inexpensive. Huge capacity.

Cons: Ordinary seek times per disk.

The Bottom Line: Puts the 'I' (inexpensive) in 'RAID' without sacrificing anything.
