Great for general purpose

Verified Purchase:Yes
The card isn't fast enough for a 4k video camera, but it's perfect to extend the drive space on a portable device like a solid state laptop, phone or tablet. Plays movies just fine.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it isn't rated fast enough for 4k and I didn't want people to get the impression that it is superior. But it absolutely works perfectly for what it is designed snd advertised to do.

Can't do much, but inexpensive and batteries last
on April 22, 2016
Posted by: spencer

Verified Purchase:Yes
The hard drive is a built in 32 gig flash drive. After the operating system and the included Microsoft office programs, that leaves you like 3 gigs. So you really can't install additional software. After a month or so, the computer decides that you don't need to go back to Windows 8, so it erases some of those files that you can't erase on your own and you end up with a little over 4 gigs total of free space. This still isn't enough for much. It's great for surfing the net, and using the Microsoft products, so if that's what you're using it for then awesome. It has a microSD slot so you can add chips to save all your work on, just not space for additional software. (I added a 128gig microSD card) There's not a lot of RAM so it occasionally sits there for a bit when you ask it to do stuff. But it's just fine for watching Netflix, writing your thesis, designing the code behind webpages, doing excell sheets or other things that don't require heavy processing. It is what it is, and it does what it does. If that's what you want, then it's a good price. If you need to edit video, get a fancier computer.

One of the better shows of its time
on April 22, 2016
Posted by: spencer
from Allentown, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
By today's standards, the shows from this time are slow and plodding. The characters are a bit cartoonish. But still a lot of fun. Every episode starts off with the bad guy committing the murder, and the show becomes how will Columbo figure out how this guy did it. The bad guy will try to throw him off but Columbo always figures it out n the end. The show will never get you on the edge of your seat, screaming in anguish, but it never fails to entertain. It stands the tet of time while most shows of that era do not.

For 19 year old Jay, fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Jay and her teenage friends must now find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind in this critically-acclaimed chiller that Bloody Disgusting calls the scariest movie of 2015.

Best horror film in years
on April 22, 2016
Posted by: spencer
from Allentown, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The characters are well written, the bad guy creepy, and the cinematography slightly unsettling. All the things you need for a good horror film. If you like the original Texas Chainsaw over the remake, you will like the look of this film. If you are tired of generic characters, then this is a film for you. It's not for everyone, but I think this film is awesome.

very comfortable

I needed to replace the camera strap that came with my expensive camera. I was traveling somewhere where having the logo emblazened all over the strap would not be a safe thing to do. This strap was strong, simple, and a lot more comfortable than the one from Panasonic.

I didn't need the caller ID or any of the other stuff on the back, so I just never put the batteries in it. I can't say how well that part works. But the call quality is good.

It works but not like a normal drive
on November 29, 2015
Posted by: spencer
from Allentown, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
So this is designed to be a portable media drive. If you access it through wifi, like from your phone or tablet, then you can't use it like a normal drive. It has its own search options, with its own media database (which you have to wait for it to refresh when you first install your media and at rare times, you have to do it again. Another reviewer said that it doesn't have security. This is incorrect. There is password protection if you choose to use that function, but the default is no protection. I bought it for use in my car. The search interface is not really usable while you're driving so if you're the type of person that likes to hit "next" constantly in search of a song you feel in the mood for that second, this isn't going to be a great match - unless you have someone driving with you to do the searching for you. But if you DO have a copilot, then this thing is awesome. 2tb allows you to have your entire music collection and tons of movies, which is pretty awesome.

Enjoy the rounded features of the Samsung Galaxy S4. The smartphone still enjoys a Super AMOLED screen for outstanding images and visual clarity, yet it also has a powerful processor and plenty of RAM to get the job done. Talk, text and type with confidence on this Samsung Galaxy S4.

It's fast, gets good call quality and has useful additional things like OTG which comes in super handy and the ability to use the phone as a univwrsal remote control for your electronics (has an infrared transmitter on top) A lot of other devices are missing the messages led that blinks when you have calls, but this one has it _ though you may want to use third party software to make the pattern of its blinking to your liking

Take your files wherever you go with this Toshiba Canvio Connect II HDTC810XK3A1 external hard drive, which features 1TB of space and a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbps. The NTI Backup Now EZ software lets you customize your backup options.
 

Scratch disk

Will this hard drive work as a scratch disk when editing video or photos? Is the usb 3.0 fast enough to want to use it as a scratch disk?
I just used it edit a documentary at 720P, 30fps on AVID. I believe the compression was DNXHD75. I also used the same video with After Effects. I had no issues.

USB 3 is fast enough as a sending format for regular HD video. The limiting factor would be the drive. Usually, you want a drive with 7200RPMS. If you don't, then you may sometimes run into issues where the video stalls. But in this case, I edited for a week and had no issues.
