Reliable
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: Derpski
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used this camera on 300+ shoots. It's super-reliable with an excellent autofocus feature and very handy options. However, there are a few nitpicks I have:
1. Not a full frame camera. The price gap between this and Sony's full frame option was pretty steep at the time I purchased the a6000. If I could do it again, I'd have shelled out a little more.
2. Low light. In darker venues, the pictures come out grainy. Capture One Pro helps immensely to correct this, but sometimes it's hard to get a good exposure-to-clarity compromise when shooting.
3. I've had a couple instances where the filing system suddenly crams in meaningless data and fills the memory card (Sandisk Ultra Plus 64GB). Formatting the memory card fixes the issue, but it's not something you want to deal with in the middle of a gig.
Other than those little gripes, it's been an excellent camera.

Does the job

It does the one thing I bought it for, can't knock it for that. However, I did knock off one star for the price. You can find similar connectors for waaaay cheaper. I bought this as an emergency solution for a scheduled mixing session.

This drive is ridiculously speedy. Excellent for a boot drive. Gave my aging laptop an extra 3 years of life.

You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends ~ even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief ~ vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land ~ the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis. This Game of the Year Edition includes a host of Story and Warband Missions, Challenge modes, Runes, Skins and more to enhance your Shadow of Mordor experience.

Solid game.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pretty awesome game. It's equal parts Arkham City and Assassin's Creed, but set in Middle Earth. Even if you only like 2/3 of those things, check this game out. Also, it's not $100 for the full game (plus micro transactions).

Battle friends and foes with the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro console. Its 1TB capacity lets you store plenty of games without an external hard drive, and the dual-shock controller improves your hands-on gaming experience. See enemies in clear, vibrant detail with the included HDMI cable of the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro console.

A modestly upgraded PS4
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: Derpski
Verified Purchase:Yes
I run it to a Sony X900E and sound goes optical out to a decent soundbar.
Getting the ultimate version of the PS4 was nice, but it ultimately wasn't worth the extra money for the slight spec bump (which was originally intended to make the console VR ready).
The lack of a 4k Blu Ray drive was also fairly disappointing.
Other than that, it's a slightly speedier PS4. If you already have one, I wouldn't bother upgrading (unless you're swapping the drive for an SSD).

No card details to PSN

My PSN was hacked years ago and I have been purchasing these cards ever since. PSN is still a great service, and I love digital downloads, but Sony isn't allowed to handle my credit card info anymore.

Keep on working with this ultrawide LG IPS monitor. Its native resolution is 2560 x 1080, giving you more screen area in which to work in and providing a wider view for your design processes. It also uses IPS technology, which produces vivid colors and good contrasts from this 29-inch LG IPS monitor.

Great workstation upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this as an upgrade for my workstation. I run Pro Tools, Cubase, and Capture One Pro pretty regularly, so while this wasn't a 4k monitor, it provides excellent screen real-estate for the edit window. Also, with a little tweaking, colors are very accurate.

I have no idea why this item showed up on my receipt, but it was of no charge, so I let it be. Good thing I can review it for a bonus 25 points to my Best Buy account.

Pretty good
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: Derpski
Verified Purchase:Yes
The manual states that software will automatically upload to your computer for ease of use with this device, but from my experience (have used it with 3 different computers so far), it's just plug-and-play. However, it does not come with drive cloning software, so unless your drive comes with a disk, you'll need to make an additional software purchase (not from Thermaltake).
As for the drive bay itself, it's solid, sturdy, and pretty comprehensive.

I have previously purchased an 850 EVO for my aging laptop, which went from a 30 second boot to 4 seconds. Installed this one on my tower (upgrading from a 128 GB NAND) and it's even faster. Excellent boot drive, and priced for value.
