Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 3TB capacity.

Great if using as Network Attached Storage

I built a NAS and I have 4 of these in RAID and have had no issues with these discs. Note that you will need to modify the parking on these discs if you use them (Google search will tell you everything you need to know about this).
I use these off a recommendation from a number of sources. However, I am still going to move forward with replacing these in the near future with WD Reds (for NAS) as they are actually built/configured for NAS systems.

Great heart rate monitor!

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you know anyone into fitness, this would be a great gift if they don't already own one. This is a great heart rate monitor. Light on your wrist, and accurate. Know that this comes with a chest strap and heart rate sensor (the watch does not have a sensor so know this before you buy).
I see why everyone truly into fitness has a Polar monitor. These things are great.

Perfect for home theater
on April 7, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was exactly what I was looking for. Low cost. Easy installation. I am running a gigabit network but needed to expand to my home theater (home theater is downstairs while router is upstairs). My media library is mostly comprised of hd movies so streaming via wifi was basically not working. Running the cable the ethernet cable was not an issue but wanted to get a good gigabit hub that would be mostly plug and play. This thing works great (plug it up, attach ethernet cable, restart router and attach devices). Video streaming is now seamless and console gaming has improved as well. For $20, this was probably the best decision I've made regarding my equipment. There's a number of more expensive devices on the market but at then end of the day, you simply want you device to function well.

Lowes is refusing to price match Best Buy because they have a different model number yet I can't find the difference. They advertise the Smart Lock as model number ASL-02, yet when I look up that number I get this model number. Are they the same?

They have different models. This one is Gen. 2 however, most other vendors (Lowes, etc.) May be carrying Gen 3. Not sure how that affects the model # but I would check that first.

Go bigger with this Toshiba 55-inch 4K LED TV. This large TV means you can comfortably sit on your sofa and see every last piece of the action, and 4K resolutions give you more detail than ever before. Connect this Toshiba 55-inch 4K LED TV to your network to enjoy streaming media without fuss.
 

Can you do screen sharing with a tablet or other wireless device with this TV?

Yes. Using google cast (using an Android/Google device). Not sure if you can use other devices.

Does this tv have the same issue as vizio of requiring the use of a phone app to Manually adjust picture settings and audio since it contains chromecast?

No. The TV allows you to use the fully functional remote to adjust settings on the tv manually. That was one of the reasons I went with this tv as opposed to the Visio as they were both in the same price range at the time.

Why is this TV being coupled with a PS4 Pro bundle when it clearly does not have HDR support? Why do this to the consumers? Check out the add here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/offer/194522/pcmcat1477841154744.c?id=pcmcat1477841154744

I'm not sure why they would bundle this with the PS4 Pro as it does not have HDR support. This may be something that will be updated with a firmware update later (which I doubt) but I don't think it makes sense. I think it was just a way to push products during the holiday season as most people would see it as a benefit from a cost perspective without actually understanding the technology.

What are the reviews for playing video games on this TV?

I've been gaming on this TV a bit with both PS3, PS4 and XB1. The picture is great, response time is great. I also PC game and setup my pc to the tv but there is a major lag (it could have been because I was using a HDMI input). I didn't want to pursue it much further as it was really just a test to see how it would respond. I will probably try it again later but for consoles, it's pretty solid.

Does it come with a transmitter, or, must one be purchased separately?

The Best Buy description of the product implies that a chest strap is not included, and, does not recommend that a separate transmitter (eg. FT7, HT7) must also be purchased to obtain full functionality.
The chest strap and transmitter are both included in the packaging. You should be good to go.
