My only complaint of this card is the lack of good documentation. You get a small paper manual of about 12 pages that look like it was stapled in the center. I've owned a WD drive in my old computer and it is quiet and is supposed to last a long time. This hard drive was a replacement for my 1st computer, but is now pulled out to be used with the CD-R drive. Well, I wanted portable storage so that I could take it to school and download programs, mp3s, mpeg videos, etc.
Zip drives are just about everywhere.
At the time, this was the best price for the money. The cost of this item won't be included in the totals for my computer. Unfortunately, they all use ISA slots. See alternate sound card below. I won this by entering an online form on the internet.
