Pros: This is a sure fired way to super-charge a computer!

Cons: Hopefully it will come in a bigger capacity in the near future.

Summary: This hard drive is awesome !!! At about the first of this year, I replaced the hard drive and installed all of the software, one program at a time. I was told a while back that it's best to replace the hard drive about every 2 to 3 years. This is my second time doing this. My computer is an HP PAVILION with an AMD dual core 3800+ and it's still running XP home edition. This awesome hard drive was borderline too much for my cpu! I had to get a little nicer $180 video card to help out. Sooner or later, I might have to get a beefier power supply because the stock 400 watts is just barely enough. I got the RAPTOR X at Best Buy for $200.99 (before tax). This drive isn't just for gamers, it's for ANYONE that wants a computer that runs faster for most applications.
