Excellent travel storage
on April 3, 2024
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
This drive is excellent for travel storage. It is very small -
only a few times larger than a jump drive. It is very
rugged, and well protected from the elements - making
it great for the outdoors. I have the 1TB model, which
comes already formatted as exFAT and ready for use
for both Android and Windows. I am using it to store
a lot of movies in mp4 ranging in size from 3GB to 30GB.
I uploaded them through a USB 3.0 port on my tower.
The speed is good, as can be seen in the test results
below. The drive did get warm while putting almost
900GB onto the drive, but never exceeded 45deg C.
It did this big job without a hitch!

The technical quality of the discs are underwhelming, but this set is certainly a case of quantity over quality.

mystery movies and consider it a good value. I
recommend its purchase if you like this content.
However, the collection does have a few issues.
First of all, the picture of the box on the product
description web page shows the "Anniversary
Edition", with that label on the bottom of the box.
I did not receive that edition, as can be seen in the
attached photo of my box. To be fair, careful
examination of the printed description of the
product never says "Anniversary Edition". I
deducted half a star for this error.

Second, there is no document in the box that
catalogs the contents of each of the 12
double-sided dvds. The listing on the back of
the box does not provide that information.
The purchaser of the collection has to carefully
examine the printing on the narrow band around

I deducted a full star for the poor packaging of the
disks themselves. There are 12 double-sided dvds
in the set. They are placed into 6 stiff cardboard
holders, with a disk on each side. Half of each disk
is exposed in these holders, and when placed in the
box is in physical contact with a disk in the adjacent
holder. As a result, the disks are in danger of getting
scratched. I think it would have been cheaper and
safer to have a proper dvd envelope for each disk.

Some other observations are worthy of note.
The printing on the narrow band around the

The dvds have a simple but functional menu
system. They typically have only a few (typically
4) chapters set up for each film. There are
typically 2 films on each side of the dvds.

Ensure smooth gliding and less friction with this Insignia mouse pad. The marble decoration keeps it looking pretty, but it prevents your optical or laser mouse from getting clogged up with dust or dirt to ensure smooth operation. A low-friction surface on this Insignia mouse pad reduces tugging when you're using your mouse.

5 out of 5Great retro style boombox
By Greg
I bought this boombox on a deal of the day for half price and it was worth every penny. I like the style. I was looking for a cassette player to play my old cassettes and it works great for that. I also like having the radio. So it gives everything I had on my old boombox from the 80s. But what sold me in this one was the rechargeable built in battery and ability to connect to other devices using Bluetooth or audio jack so I can use my MP3 player or phone with it. I also wanted to use an sd card with my favorite songs.
I definitely like this player a lot. From some of the reviews I was a bit concerned about the sound quality but It sounds good to me. I think it has good sound and it was better than I thought it would be from the reviews I read. It sounds good. It is not up to the high quality sound systems or theater sound systems but unless you need that it sounds great and sounds as good or better than any boombox I had before. It plays my music just fine.
Today we had a family get together and I was requested to bring it outside to provide the music. I Bluetooth connected it to my phone and played pandora through it. People were impressed and a few guests took turns connecting their phones to it to play their music through it and we had a number of people singing along. It proved to be a big hit with everyone and I was told by a few they were wanting to buy one also.

Pros:
Rechargeable battery lasts long.
Sound is good
Bluetooth works great
Cassette player/recorder

Has Micro sd card reader To play mp3s or record to
Can take D batteries but will probably not need with the Built in rechargeable Battery

Cons:
- On mine the sound needles do not move. Not sure if mine is broken or if they just don’t work normally. This is not a major problem for me since they don’t affect my music but it would be cool to watch the needles bounce to the music.
- I love that the player has a mini sd card reader. However, there is no random song play option. It also does not have playlists so I basically have to always start at the same song and forward or reverse through until I find the song I want. If I need those options the workaround is to connect my phone or MP3 player to the unit and just play from them.

However, We Realized after using it, that it would be nice if He could record the tape to digital through a USB or auxiliary plug; There are no other inputs on this device. But I wasn’t Looking for it originally so not the products fault.

It is possible to use the output from the earphone jack and an auxiliary cable connected to a computer to digitize your tapes! You can use the free software Audacity to do this. I've done it with my boombox.

4 out of 5Good lamp despite slow charging
By vnda
Battery takes a while to charge. Several hours. Light lasts a couple hours so it’s best to have it plugged in. Quality is good. Base is heavy enough to be stable on the table. Light is fairly bright and the 3 levels of intensity is good the light bar can be folded all the way down and allows a full range of positions. The arm tension is good as it is easy to adjust and doesn’t move once set. For the priceI paid it was a good deal. The only downer is that it takes so long to recharge. It your battery is depleted, you can’t use the light until the battery is partially charged. It will just turn off. At first I thought it was defective but the USB charge current is only 500 ma. I guess it can’t charge the battery and run the lamp at the same time.

The lamp is light and portable. It is bright and three levels of brightness. The downside is it takes at least a few hours to fully charge, and the charge does not hold very long. It can be frustrating when the battery is low and the supplied USB cable is not capable of providing enough power.

2 out of 5Well it looks good on paper:(
By BudsPro
Samsung's latest entry into the 8 inch class of tablets is unfortunately a bit short. This not a terrible tablet, but it is a low budget tablet. Initial price is too high. This tablet looks good on paper has 64GB ROM, 4GB of Ram, but the GPU performs poorly and the screen shutters from page to page, The screen refresh rate is poor. The wifi says its dual band and fast but did not perform well. The display is just OK. It does not have screen sleep when cover is closed. It cannot vibrate, and has no fingerprint sensor. This tablet will not do well with games. It does have a good battery, fast charging and USB C. It also has Android 11. It barely functions as a reader. With just a little more effort from Samsung and this could have been a decent successor to the TAB S2.

This is an excellent tablet for the price point offered. People complaining about this tablet seem to want a $500 tablet for under $200, but life doesn't work that way.
This is a really nice and very sturdy tablet. I LOVE the size, just small enough to throw in most jacket pockets, but big enough to work well as an e-reader or to watch video. This tablet does exactly what I want it to do.

By Angela
I have a light weight, touch screen, 360 degree laptop that came with a pen so I didn't think I needed a tablet for a few years. Until my I started to want something even lighter to watch videos on and take to college to write notes with.
I absolutely love my tablet! Writing with the pen feels really smooth and responsive. I love that it can turn my handwriting to text to make it easier to read since my handwriting can sometimes look like chicken scratch.
Watching videos or reading webtoons/ebooks is comfortable and resolution is great for me.
The only thing is that browsers seem to be slow, but that's something I can overlook.
After a year my tablet is still working great. I still watch most of my videos on it. I still love using it to write just about anything on it. Battery life is around 6-8 hours when watching videos. I hope it continues to work great for more years as I don't really enjoy changing or upgrading things that work great.

Is there a power connector inside the tower that could be used with an internal dvd drive? I see that there are two SATA connectors available, and one could be used to perform data operations on such a drive.

How long does it take to download the game provided with this bundle for a typical household (one with download speed capped at about 10Mbps)?
I did some looking up on the web and found that a speed of 10 Mbps corresponds to 4.5 GB/hr. So a 45GB download takes 45GB / 4.5 GB/hr = 10 hr. This of course assumes that the download speed remains fixed at 10 Mbps.

What fraction of a major game is included on a physical disk? Is installation aided significantly by having a physical disk?
I just learned that you can get this information in the "Queue" screen, where it details the size of the content from the Disk, and the size of the content from the Network (what has to be downloaded over the internet). What has to be downloaded over the internet does indeed vary from title to title, but significant gains can be obtained by using physical media for those of us with relatively modest internet speeds. I just installed "The Witcher 3 - Complete Edition", and all the content came from the disk - and the install was completed in less than a half hour! To me this is a compelling reason (and happy news) to use physical disks!

Does the storage have solid state drive SSD or is it hard drive
It is a 1TB HDD. It spins at 5400RPM. It is connected with a SATA III connector that gives it a significant boost over the Xbox One, which uses a SATA II connection.

Is this ssd or sshd.
The Xbox One X has a 1TB HDD, It spins at 5400rpm. However, because it uses a SATA III connection, it operates faster than the drive of the Xbox One, which uses a SATA II connection. It is NOT an SSD, nor an SSHD.

Do i have to buy digital games or regular xbox games
You can buy either the digital version or the physical version. What is installed on your machine will be the same either way. I often find physical versions to be on sale or on clearance at considerable discounts.

If I order this from the Best Buy website, can I get it delivered to my home, or do I have to pick it up from the store?
You can have it shipped to your home for free! And Best Buy generally gets it to you very quickly! That's how I got mine, and almost everything I have purchased from Best Buy in the last 3 months.

New gamer here! Do I need any type of hard drives to hold more game, etc? And if so what is recommended?
You should plan on getting a usb external hard drive, 4TB or greater. Western Digital and Seagate have good units at reasonable prices. If you will be subscribing to Xbox's subscription services, and taking advantage of the many deals on games at Best Buy and elsewhere, you will fill up the 1TB in the console very quickly. I've only had my unit for 4 days, and it is already more than half full!

Revel in immersive audio with this retro-style Ion Boombox Deluxe portable stereo. Dual full-range speakers deliver impressive sound reproduction, while Bluetooth technology, USB playback, an AM FM radio and a built-in cassette player offer vast entertainment options. This Ion Boombox Deluxe portable stereo comes with a long-lasting rechargeable battery for convenience.
Can it connect to wireless earbuds?
No, it can not. It has bluetooth ONLY for input - so you can stream music from your cell phone to it (and it does a great job with this). But you can not output using bluetooth. You can, however, connect using the headphone out - and the quality of that output is first rate. You will need to get wired earbuds to do this.
