Just the thing to wake up a old slow laptop
on December 31, 2016
Posted by: Goof
Verified Purchase:Yes
My old shop laptop (the lowest of the hand-me-downs) was slow to barely usable and needed a kick. This SSD was just the thing, it's almost like a new computer. It's working so well I'm planning on ordering a couple more to liven up other laptops that are lagging.

I needed something bluetooth for a windows tablet with only one USB port to spare. This little mouse was just right and works fairly well though it does have some stuttering when used at the same time as my bluetooth keyboard

Great speaker, water resistant not so much
on May 6, 2016
Posted by: Goof
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was on sale at a great price so I gave it a try. The sound quality was good and having a mobile booster battery integrated came in handy, though don't expect to use the speaker while charging something else as you can do one or the other at any given time.
I absent mindedly left it out overnight and there was a light rain just before morning. After drying it off I found it didn't work so I took the rubber cover off to find that it had taken in a great deal of water. We'll see if drying overnight after draining will revive it. I hope so as it was a good speaker ... so don't believe it when they say water resistant.

Want a TV but too lazy to run a cable? This is it
on February 13, 2016
Posted by: Goof
Verified Purchase:Yes
This small TV is perfect for a small bedroom TV when you don't want to run a new cable. With a Time Warner app we were able to get the TV up and running in no time and even though it is at the limit of our wifi coverage it streams nearly flawlessly day in and day out. The picture is crisp and clear and the colors are bright and accurate.

Connect up to 4 USB 3.0 devices to your computer through a single port with this Insignia~ NS-PCH5431 USB hub, which features 4 USB ports that support data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps for fast uploads and downloads.
 

Can you use this just for charging devices like phones and portable chargers?

Is it 3 amps per port?
Yes you can use it as just a charger as it does come with a power supply for that purpose. Only one of the ports is 3A, the others are 0.5A ports. Be aware that the full capacity is 3.5A so if you have a device that truly pulls 3A in the high power port the other ports will have diminished capacity.

how long is the USB cord

I am surprised that the specs don't say how long the USB cord is that is supplied.
The cable is approximately 3 feet long.

Does the software make an image of the PC hard disk?

Meaning, can you a) boot and run the PC from the external drive and b) copy the entire saved image to your repaired or replaced internal hard drive and then start the PC from the internal drive again?
The drive is not bootable from the disk image, you will need to create a recovery DVD or USB drive to boot from in order to do a complete system restore.
