PROS: Price. Quiet despite what another reviewer said about it being a bit loud . Loud ? Really ?
CONS: In all fairness, I have not really set up the hard drive yet for how I will use it . But I have used it enough to say the out-of-box documentation really is dumb and is horribly incomplete. It consists of one sheet with no text. Only visual cues.

Quite possibly it is pre-formated to FAT32 so your PS3 will recognize it, without your having to search for a program to format it to FAT32 (Been there, done that)

PROS: Don't know. I gave the 3 rating because it IS preformated to FAT32. This would make it immediately recognizable on your game console that only recognizes FAT32. (i.e. PS3)
