Gigabyte GV NX73G128D-RH

Advantages: Fast Graphics, Large Memory
Disadvantages: Retail Price of £246

...The Gigabyte R9700 pro is a very good graphic card. Was fairly easy to install after reading the instructions. The power of the ATI Radeon 9700 processor give fast refresh rates and pushes the graphics to a whole new level. When i did my research before buy it was one of the few that had a good bench mark when tested against others. The bench mark is where the card has been pushed to perform specific tests that they put every card of its calaba throu. As it was one of the best bench marks I thought it was worth while buying. The only down fall that I have found is that the care is very expensive. The card give good clear graphics at low resoulution. I am a web designer and found it very good for testing and viewing my pages at every possible resolution. When it comes to gaming I believe it cant be beat and would... Read review

But now the bombshell - during the 'research' in this review - Amazon tells me this product is no longer available, and they don't know when or if this item will be back in stock. This is probably due to the 2.5 inch version now being available - the 'streamline' version. Apparently, even in the world of desktop hard drives, looks are everything...... Read review

Advantages: Only sleekness. Nothin other than this in my opinion
Disadvantages: Everything. Performance, reliability, speed, sound etc.

...My experience Bought this product to increase my storage space to 900GB( alongside with 750 GB HDD that i use ). But this product has very poor reliability, got serviced 7 times within a period of one year. All my datas lost. Read/Write speed is good but head movement sound drives me mad. Its not worth buying this product. A little shake to the CPU, this product is gone. Worst Experience And one more bitter experinece for me with this product. I once sent it for service as it did not work and after 4-5 days, went to service center and got my replacement HDD (Serviced one i suppose) and kept it in a well cushioned box ( A Jewel Box with good cushion effect). I plugged it in immediately after returning home and ALAS, the hard disk was dead, It gave some ASCII characters for HDD name in my BIOS (CMOS) utility... Read review
