Upgrade your computer without assistance or confusion. Mounts your 2.5" solid state drive into a 3.5" drive bay desktop computer using screwdriver. This adapter bracket made of aluminium and fits almost any 2.5 inch SSD.

Not a direct out of the box installation

It does the job after modifications. A 2.5" drive mounts fine. The side holes to mount in a computer are not right. They are drilled/threaded for the smaller drive mount screws. They need to be the standard 6-32 mounting screw thread. Once threaded for 6-32 the standard screw length on the side closest to the drive hits the drive and needs to be cut down/shortened. None of the computer screw hardware acquired over the years would work without some modification. Works as intended after bracket and screw modifications.

Something you never though you needed it until...

This is a second one for my daughter. Bought it on a 'whim' and never new I 'needed it. Works very well and pretty accurate so far. Being able to put it in whatever you're cooking on the grill or in the oven without any wires is great. You can move around with the Bluetooth connectivity and monitoring. DO NOT put it near open flame so you don't melt the rubber end with the electronics.

It~s just a light, but it can help set the mood for your entire space.

A self-adhesive backing lets you easily stick the light strip to your TV, monitor, furniture or other objects. And you can safely cut the 4 ft. length for a shorter size. Just plug it into your nearest USB power connection, and you~re ready to go. This light strip is backed by Best Buy and is just what you need to add a touch of personality.

Great strip for TV bias lighting. Perfect length for 32-42" TV, tape sticks well to a cleaned surface and even has extra double face tape for the control (at least 4 of the 5 did). The power lead is well thought out so the strip can be mounted with the control at easy access and a long tail to plug in. Dimmer and color features are very nice too.

Great featured TV for the sale price point
on December 19, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
My first smart TV and very happy with it. The base Insignia 32" was my typical extra bedroom TV purchase. Good picture and easy set up out of the box. Great feature set for the Black Friday sale price point; 3 HDMI & 2 USB. Two quirks. First the 100wx200l VESA mount is odd. Second the USB ports do NOT switch power on/off with TV power like most TVs.

This 32-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 720p HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-32D310NA21 32" Class N10 Series LED HD TV.

This is a great little TV and my fourth one. Both my kids took them to college and still using them. Replaced the same unit when my they moved out. 720P is more than adequate at this size in a bed room or other smaller room. Can’t beat the value and feature performance.

Not shielded and light duty. Returned it. Should be heavy gauge and shielded to deliver a quality signal. I have 25 year old RCA cables that are thicker.

Probably the best value

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an upgrade to my daughter's 'suitcase player'. Insignia might not be considered 'the brand' but the product can't be beat and the nicest entry turntable in the price range. The first one shipped to me had some issues which BB quickly sent a replacement; excellent customer service. The cartridge, Bluetooth out, phono pre-amp and tome arm adjustment move it to the top of he list. It's straight forward and quick to set up even including my extra tweaking of the tonearm shell and tracking force. One note is that the platter stops and the tone arm stays in the center of the album at the end. You manually return it back to the cueing stand. It plays well and sounds good too. I'm very impressed and think it's worth a try.
Insignia should work on their quality and end of line inspection though.

Why doesn't the soundbar turn off with Pioneer Xumo connected to eARC HDMI? Set up per instruction settings 3 times; doesn't go into standby when TV is turned off (white light stays on. The same sound bar turns off w/ Insignia TV connected in same manor.

Is the power to the USB ports always on? Is there a way to switch the power on/off when the TV is turned on/off? I can't find anything in the settings or set up. I want to turn a LED light strip, used for bias lighting, on/off with TV power.

Does the probe have to be inserted all the way? I already have a MEATER probe, but it is too long for smaller cuts of meat, or even too long to insert in hamburger patty.
