Have spent over $1000 on these bulbs, have had nothing but trouble, have contacted customer support over a half a dozen times, they have responded each time, but with absolutely no solutions, .... After spending over a week resetting the bulbs and reinstalling the app on an iPhone 5S, and and iPad air 2, I went into my router and set up each bulb with its own dedicated static IP address, it worked fine for about two weeks, but then they came out with their latest firmware update, now it's worse than before, the bulbs will not stay connected, the app shows the dreaded triangles at random, on single bulbs, and entire groups, resetting one bulb only causes another bulb to lose connection, it's too late to return these, so I'm stuck with them, I have spent this entire weekend trying to fix the problem, but have had absolutely no luck. The bulbs are a great idea, but if you're using more than one or two bulbs, FORGET ABOUT IT! These have obviously not been tested in real-world conditions.
The last response I received from them was a link to download the latest beta version of the firmware and app software, I filled out everything and submitted to receive the download link, but three days later and I still have nothing,.... I will give this another week or so, but after that if anyone is interested, you will find all of these bulbs on eBay really cheap!

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Expert
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Multimedia (music, movies, photos)
Bought 2 of these (Raid 1 array) installed in minutes,.. didn't expect anything special,... but then I started transferring files and WOW!! these are as fast as my VelociRaptor 10,000 rpm drives!! read and write speeds are incredible! I would buy 2 more, but I think I will wait 6 months when they are priced from $99 - $109 (you know how that goes) I guess I was used to Seagate (doorstop) drives, same specs, but slower transfer speeds,.. I will NEVER buy another Seagate,.. I have owned 8, and 7 have failed,.... don't be tempted to save a few bucks, pay a little more and get WD drives.
What's great about it: Everything,.... except
What's not so great: the price
I would recommend this to a friend!

After years of using ATI All-In-Wonder video cards and software, and after building a new computer, ( I7 965 Quad core, 3gb RAM, dual raid 10,000 rpm drives, etc, etc,) .. I thought I would have to spend a fortune to get the perfect video/TV capture card,...... NOT!...... I read some of the bad reviews on this and was a little weary of purchasing,... how could something so small and inexpensive do what " I " wanted it to do? ... but since BestBuy has a great return policy, I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a try,.... It took about 15 minutes to set up, and it works GREAT!!! I've tried everything I can think of to make it crash/ lock-up,... and it works perfect.
My suggestion to those leaving bad reviews,.... BUY YOURSELF A BETTER COMPUTER ! ! !

What's great about it: Everything so far
What's not so great: Reading the bad reviews about it

Transferring data to new hard drive.
What would you recommend for transferring data from the old hard drives (there are two installed now) to a new, larger hard drive? Thanks.
Best Buy,... "Acronis True Image 2011" the best $39 you will ever spend,.. easy to use for transferring files, cloning drives, and a lot more... works perfect every time.
