I've enjoyed the X-Men series for many years. I do own them all on Steel Book. Best Buy offered a really great pre-order deal on this movie. I was told by the sales person at my local Best Buy that I received one of the very few Steel Book copies ( 6 ) shipped to the store.

The Sequel

Verified Purchase:Yes
The long awaited sequel. Updates on how more humanity / military has learned from the 4th go July Alien encounter. It is ashame that Will smith was not included in this 2nd film. Everyone else from the 1st film who was still alive was 20 years older, and their kids were the new hero's. I really like the film, And I preordered the Steel Book from Best Buy when it became available.

Daniel Craig has to be the best of the Bonds. I jumped at the opportunity to get these 3 films in the Steel Book before gone forever. Blu-Ray / Digital copy offers the best of both worlds.

Just What I Needed

I love my Mac's. My Mac Pro Tower is a power house, but it's not mobile. My 2011 15" MacBook Pro is a great machine, but at close to 7 pounds it adds alot of weight to my photography backpack between the Nikon camera, lenses, accessories. This MacBook Pro is nice & light for my needs , the Retina display is outstanding. I do wish the flash solid state drive was larger, but I can mange until the larger capacity drives come down in price. I nailed this baby on sale, plus I had a gift card to use

Incase Production

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have a MacBook Pro or any other MacBook, you have to protect these excellent machines. I been using a clear Incase cover on my 15" MacBook Pro and it has been outstanding. When I bought my 13" MacBook Pro recently I wanted to use the same Incase brand, but there were none on display at the local Best Buy store or listed on line. I have a few favorite sales people . He looked up in the store inventory, found what I needed in the back room stock. Best of all it was on sale.

Thule Is The Best

Posted by: Mariner2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just received this case today via UPS. I was concerned if it was going to work with my MacBook Pro Retina 13" that I recently purchased, as I had installed a snap on In-Case protective cover. Other reviewers mentioned some fitting difficulty with their MacBooks. I'm not sure what the issue was, but this slip case fits perfect . I am very pleased with this product & the Thule limited lifetime warranty.

This edition completes my Jason Borne Steel Book collection, unless they decide to work on another. This release I would believe surpasses all the others, even though I felt they were great films. I wished I was able to acquire one of the Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital copy Steel Books that evidently sold out quickly. But I can save the 4K version for when ever I upgrade.

the best budget external heard-drive to transfer data from VISTA to Windows 8.1

Please recommend the best budget external heard-drive to transfer data from VISTA (HP) to Windows 8.1 (HP all-in-one)
and something easy to understand and complete within one day 8)
I would save all my data on a external drive. Completely wipe / format the main drive. Do a clean install of Windows 8.1, then transfer saved data. Or you can install a new hard drive, install Windows 8.1, then transfer your data to the new drive. You will then have a backup drive running a outdated OS with this choice.

Will this work in my Mac laptop?

I currently have a 250 GB Samsung Solid State card in my 17" Macbook Pro that I bought from Bes Buy. I want to upgrade to a 1TB Samsung Solid State card. I am looking at these two items on the Best Buy Site:

Samsung - 850 EVO 1TB Internal SATA III Solid State Drive - Black
Model: MZ-75E1T0B/AM
SKU: 2333012

and

Samsung - 850 PRO 1TB Internal Serial ATA III Solid State Drive for Laptops - Black
Model: MZ-7KE1T0BW
SKU: 2397049

Question 1. Are these both for laptops? The first one doesn't say.
Question 2. They both list minimum requirements for PC/Windows but don't say anything about Macs, but I don't see any listings that do, so is that just an oversight?

Thank you.
If the SSD is a 2.5" it is a laptop SSD. I'm currently running 2 SSD's. I have the Samsung 850 Evo 1TB SATA III in my MacPro Tower, of course I had to use a Newer Tech Adapta Drive to mount in the hard drive caddy. I installed the Samsung 850 Pro 500GB in my 2011 Macbook Pro 15". The MacBook is more labor intensive with all the screws, removing the whole bottom cover, etc. Performance is excellent, no regrets. As far as I know all of the current SSD's are 2.5" - 7-9 mm thick. The only full size drives are the Hybrid & the Standard HDD's. I would save some cash & purchase a WD Passport Ultra - 1 or 2 TB external drive. I will offer a word of advise. When you install a SSD in a Mac, you need to run a 3rd party Trim software. A**le has this feature with factory SSD's, maintains SSD peak performance.

WD WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN 4TB external HD

oes the WD WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN external 4TB Hard Drive support WIN XP. The specs on the best buy web page does not specify, but the boxed item in the store says it supports win 8,vista & win7.
Windows is Windows - Western Digital isn't going to waste their time with a statement of support for a OS that hasn't been supported in 6 years. Any external hard drive is going to recognize any version of Windows, but XP is dead in the water, time to update your OS or get a new machine. I've already recycled several machine of the xp / vista vintage.

where can I get a replacement power cord for my external hard drive

Where can I get a replacement power cord for my external hard drive
Most of the manufacturers use a universal switching power adapter / cord for the external HDD's. The external adapter label will state the input voltage - 100 - 240 volts, at a certain Hz range,output voltage is usually 12volts with certain amperage requirement. Your external hard drive should have a label stating the power requirements. I have 2 Western Digital external hard drives, one is 2 months old. Both drives have power adapters by different manufactures, similar specs, and look really different. Rather than looking around on line guessing what you have or what you would find on line. I would contact the hard drive manufacturer, or go to Other World Computing - I have seen external drive enclosures and switching power adapters on their site.

Upgrade 12gb PS3 for gaming

My son bought a 12gb PS3 and some games wont load because of space on hard drive, will any external drive work?
I have a PS3 that was originally a 80GB drive. I purchased a 2.5" Laptop Western Digital Scorpio Black 250GB couple years ago, followed a U Tube video for some brief & easy instructions. There is a hatch at the end of the PS3 - about 3/4" wide - 4" long , carefully use a small flat blade screw driver to pop it loose. One screw usually holds the hard drive caddy in place, there is a little handle to pull the unit out. Just swap out the hard drives , reverse the procedure & slide back into the PS3. Carefully replace the one screw, don't lose it inside. Plug in, turn on PS3, it will ask to format the new drive, select okay. I already had a PS3 account that had my game updates / saves stored in the cloud. I believe a had to download a firmware update from the SONY PS3 website, save it on a usb thumb drive and upload into the PS3. Sounds like you are starting from scratch with the game updates & saves , so it will be an easy task. The 250GB is alot of storage but the prices have come down and larger 2.5" laptop hard drives are available, Western Digital is the best out there , with a great warranty. You can check with your local Best Buy / Geek Squad for any further details.

which hard drive is the best for a mac if i have a 50-75 dollar price range? also im storing tons of pictures

I wouldn't replace the HDD in the Mac, it can be quit labor intensive. If its a newer Mac it probably has a solid state drive. I have several of the Western Digital Passport Ultra external drives . They are USB 3.0 powered, come in 1TB & 2 TB and offer more photo storage than you'll ever use. Best Buy has been offering great deals on these units in this price bracket. There is a very good 3 year warranty that surpasses the competition. You do have to format the drive so the Mac can read it, a Mac will walk you through it when first plugged into the usb port. Or you can go into disk utility & format the drive to FAT32 - ( universal format for mac & windows ) or format to Mac Os Extended ( Journaled ) - only mac compatible. The process is easy.

Does this come with adapter to fit into 2.5" laptop bay?

I would like to change my laptop hdd to this ssd.

Please give me answers ASAP. Thanks.
Some laptops come with a HDD caddy or an adapter mount that you have to remove mounting screws to install the SSD. Manufacturers match up the mounting screw holes for almost very application. I've mounted some HDD / SDD's directly under a hatch in the bottom with hardly any hardware transfer. Couple screws, or a small bracket. Most of the current SSD's are 7-9mm thick the thinner being used for the very thin laptops & being a lower profile. Most manufactures will include some sort of filler gasket that will keep the SSD contacts aligned, And uses up some of the extra space. I've replaced drives in 7 - 8 laptops , and every one has been different.

Software Installation of SSD Plus 240GB

where to get the ownwers Manual?
how to install the SSD to make it a bootabel C-drive?
Go to the SanDisk website & lookup your particular SSD model. Any manuals / firmware updates can be viewed / downloaded from the site. SanDisk is good for Macs because no data transfer software is needed when installing a new drive. Windows is another ballgame, you need a 3rd party data transfer software plus a external drive enclosure or adapter at an extra cost. That is why I returned mine & purchased a Samsung SSD which includes a the necessary data migration software.
