Brings Firefly to a successful place
on November 27, 2017
Posted by: BruceG
from San Jose CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
As a way to bring Firefly to a nice "conclusion" the move is a success. As a 4K rendering it's magnificent. Great video, great sound, entertaining movie. Fans of Firefly will be satisfied, those who never watched the series will enjoy the show.

In modern-day Los Angeles, barista and struggling actress Mia Dolan (Emma Stone) hunted for that elusive break, while uncompromising jazz pianist Sebastian Wilder (Ryan Gosling) stubbornly planned to play his own sounds in his own club. The intense attraction that blossomed between these two dreamers-and the sad truths that emerged as their respective hopes headed towards reality-fuel this color-splashed, six-time Oscar-winning musical romance from director Damien Chazelle; John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt, Finn Wittrock, and J.K. Simmons also star. 128 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish. Two-disc set.

Movie looks great in 4K
on November 27, 2017
Posted by: BruceG
from San Jose CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are reading this you probably already know about the movie (Hint - it's a musical!). This review is geared for the 4K rendering. In short, it does a great job enhancing what was already a very well done movie. The source material was shot in hi res and transfers really well to 4K. If you liked the BlueRay, you'll really like 4K.

It's not smallest of USB devices but it's well made and the amount of storage for the price is excellent. Read/Write times are average to above average and I've not experienced any issues.

Great little device
on August 21, 2017
Posted by: BruceG
from San Jose CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used larger, typically Netgear, wireless adapters in the past and they've always worked great. Decided to try this device due to the much smaller size and I'm impressed. It works every bit as good as the larger ones. Windows 10 - plug and play - picks up the signal without any issues.

Perfect for NAS

The WD Reds are perfect for NAS use. They are not the fastest drives out there (5400) but that helps with their reliability. They should be just like the Energizer Bunny....they keep going and going and going and (you get the point!)

Does what it should, but didn't work for me
on March 3, 2017
Posted by: BruceG
Verified Purchase:Yes
The system does exactly what it claims to do and it's a nice, high quality device. Everything works just as described and I had no issues with it. In my case it just didn't help me sleep better. This isn't due to any defect in the system and many others have indicated it did help. It will be dependent on each person's sleep habits and issues. Give it a try as it did help many, just not me.

This 4-port KVM switch lets you control up to 4 computers with a single monitor, mouse and keyboard.
 

Please confirm that you can keep your each monitor connected to each computer, and just have a common keyboard and mouse. Also, can a wireless mouse and keyboard be used?

Hi Mark - if you are asking if you can keep separate monitors (one per computer) but just one keyboard and mouse, common to all, yes you can. I am not using a wireless keyboard and mouse with this specific KVM, but I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse with a different one so I can't say for sure, but I believe it should work.

The Targus 4-Port Hub is a convenient and compact way to use more USB ports than your computer has available. The hub is USB powered so there is no need to always plug into an AC adapter, giving you the ability to connect up to four electronic devices to your laptop all at once. Charge your phone or MP3 player and access your external hard drive from one hub. The compact design makes it easy to take it along with you anywhere you go.
 

Can I connect a mouse and keyboard using this device?

Yes. No issues doing so.
