How do you like yours? Did you you use a external USB hard drive?

Man, it would be worth it alone not to hear the disc drive making all that noise. The load times are just a side benefit.

It's great, I really love it. It's silent, and I haven't had any problems running most games (so far). My only gripe is the menu is a bit rudimentary, but hopefully that'll be updated in future software releases.

Currently I'm using an internally connected USB Flash Drive. When I first got the USB-GDROM board it was the external USB version where you have to modify the DC's shell for the USB port. I didn't like the idea of cutting holes in the case, and I wanted this upgrade to be easily reversed. So I ended up de-soldering the USB port, and attaching my own connector to it so that I can fit a drive within the DC.
The USB Flash Drive works well for now (it's only a 64gb one though), I plan on upgrading it with a proper 500gb USB hard-drive if I can find one for cheap.

I added the SD2SNES to the list. It's well over $200 but they are working on better compatibility with some of the specialized chips like the FX chip used in some SNES carts.
