Decent value priced SSD

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not as high performance as some other brands but it's definitely a good value buy as a performance upgrade to any desktop or laptop.
Note to Best Buy: It would be smart if you offered mounting brackets for purchase in the store for those of us wanting to install these in desktop PC's that are designed for 3.5" drives. You're making your customers puchase brackets from online retailers or local competitors that also sell SSD drives, often at the same price points. So if I need to wait for a bracket to be shipped to me, why not just order the drive from the same place I get the brackets? Think about it...

One of the better consumer grade SSD brands
on March 25, 2016
Posted by: psilord
from Chesapeake, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The SanDisk Ultra II line of SSD drives is one of the better consumer grade (retail) options available in terms of both price, performance and reliability. The 3 year warranty is second only to Samsung and the performance is not that far off the higher end professional and gaming options. Any system will realize a significant performance boost with this drive. Solid State Drives are hands down the best price/performance value bang for your buck and you won't be disappointed with a SanDisk.

Great accessory for techies.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the second BlacX Duet dock that I've owned. It works perfectly for drive to drive cloning, offline virus and malware scanning, or simply as external drive expansion for a system. My only complaint on the newer model is that it does NOT include an eSata connector, only a single USB 3.0 port. Not a huge issue given the original unit was USB 2.0, but the lack of an eSata port on the newer model is a slight disappointment. Otherwise, it is every bit as useful as the original.

USB on the outside, standard SATA on the inside!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really bought this for the internal 2TB SATA drive. It was cheaper than the 2TB laptop unit available at the time and worked like a champ. (Disclaimer: opening the unit to remove the internal drive will obviously void your warranty.) As an added bonus, the SATA to USB converter that is inside the case will easily work with any standard 2.5" SATA drive, so for a quick connect option for any internal laptop drive it's a nice little item to have in my data recovery tech toolbox.

Nice little phone for the tweenies

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this phone for our just turned 13 year old son and he loves it. It is the first Windows phone that we have ever had in our family. We now have three androids, one iPhone and now the Lumia. Performance is good, interface is, well... Windows surface, so if your a Windows desktop or tablet user you should feel right at home. The built in FM tuner for over the air radio is a cool feature. The only improvement I could suggest is better sound from the speaker when playing audio without headphones. Other than that, nice little phone.

Is it compatible with Desktop computers?

I am new with SSD and I would like to know if every SSD is compatible with either laptop or desktop computers. Actually I need to upgrade my small factor desktop computer. That is why I need to kow if it is compatible either one
Compatible yes, as long as the computer you're installing it into has a SATA controller. If you are installing it into a desktop PC that is designed for 3.5" drives you will need a mounting bracket because all SSD drives are made with a 2.5" form factor which is typical of laptops. It will work fine as long as you have a bracket to mount it, or if the desktop already has a 2.5" bay. Unfortunately, Best Buy does not sell the 2.5" to 3.5" brackets at this time (big oversite on someone's part). Check online and you can find them for around $5 - $6.

WiFi support?

Can this phone connect to WiFi networks? There's no mention in the specifications.
Yes, the Lumia supports WiFi just fine. And with the built in over the air FM tuner you can listen to local broadcast radio without the need to stream stations over the internet. Great feature if you are not near a WiFi hotspot and/or don't want to use any of your mobile plan data.
