Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this drive to provide external storage for my new Xbox One X, for music, videos, etc. Installation was easy - just plugged it in.
The Xbox immediately recognized it. There was no need to do anything else! I have been using WD external drives for over 20 years, and not once have had any kind of problem. For those looking to expand the drive capacity of their Xbox One X (or S),
I strongly recommend this unit.

I bought this for my new Xbox One X, to provide space for my rapidly expanding collection of games and apps. Installation was simple - pure plug and play. I had to have the console format the drive for its system, but it took just seconds to do. I have been using WD external drives for over 20 years now, and not once experienced a problem. I recommend this drive to anyone wishing to expand the drive capacity of their Xbox One X (or S).

The most powerful console on the planet!
on May 25, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have wanted to do high end gaming for some time, and had come to the realization that it would be impossible to do it on my home computer, and found it also impossible to upgrade it to do so. When I learned about the Xbox One X console I was intrigued, and started to look into it. I was astounded to learn that it had the gaming capability of a high end gaming pc, as well the ability to play 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray movies. On top of that, its cost was a small fraction of what it would cost for a gaming pc with the same features. To top it off, the unit looks good in my living room under my 4K Sony TV. I pulled the trigger and ordered it just two days before it was sold out, and consider myself fortunate to have obtained one of the last units presently available.
I have been playing with it almost a week now, and it simply blows me away. The games in 4K are like interactive movies.
I have found it possible to have already amassed a collection of almost 20 games, by taking advantage of the many sales and discounts at Best Buy. I have already filled the 1TB drive in the machine!
A few add-ons I have added to my system are:
WD My Book 4TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for games and apps)
WD Easystore 2TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for music, videos, etc.)
Logitech C615 Webcam (for Skype)
Sennheiser Game One Headset
For anyone wishing to get into high end gaming at a moderate cost, you can't do better than this machine! I highly recommend it.

It makes me happy!
on May 25, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this boombox now for over two months, and am still surprised at how happy it makes me. I retired almost a year ago, and it brings back memories of my college days during which a box like this was my sole means of entertainment. I have a large collection of cassette tapes that I wished to digitize before they crumbled to dust, and this has made that task easily doable. But in the process of doing this I discovered that these old tapes sounded incredibly good! I was also surprised at how well preserved these old tapes (many over 40 years old) were. This box has a good stereo cassette player, and also a good radio. The fact that it also incorporates so much useful new technology greatly enhances the pleasure it provides. I strongly recommend this boombox for your purchase - the value it provides far exceeds it's price.

Excellent for Skype!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had this webcam for over a year. It was very easy to set up - simply plug and play. I have it plugged in to my desktop. It is mounted to the top of my monitor - the mount was simple to do, and has remained steady and secure since I first mounted it. I have been using it for Skyping with family members regularly for the past year. They all tell me that the video is excellent, as is the audio. I recently bought a high end headset (Sennheiser Game One) with a very good microphone - and I had no difficulty disabling the microphone on this webcam so I could use the microphone on the headset. I have been very happy with this webcam, and recommend it strongly.

Great Ear-Buds for Workouts!
on November 24, 2019
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked these up on "Deal of the Day" for $39.99 (Half price). But even at full price I find they are a good buy.
I got them to use on my daily workouts. I use them to listen to music while I exercise. I use them with my Galaxy S7 Edge phone. I have never had a problem pairing them with this device.
I have also never had a problem pairing them with the left ear bud, once I learned how to properly insert them in the charging case (more on this shortly).
They are comfortable enough for my use, and I could see wearing them for several hours - but would prefer a good pair of over-the-ear headphones for watching movies.
The quality of the sound with both earbuds in, and properly seated, is very good.
Properly seated the noise isolation is very, very good. It is so good that I have a hard time hearing what people are saying. As a result, I usually just use the right bud while in the fitness room so I can be polite with my neighbors. The sound quality with one earbud is good (but not as good as with both). If I am alone, I use both buds.
Battery life I believe is as stated (4.5hrs). A couple of times I ran them for 4hrs at moderate volume and got no notice of any problem.
I have used them as far as 20 feet from my phone, and they have remained connected. I tried them in another room, with a wall between me and the phone at a distance of 12ft, and they remained connected.
There have been a few reviews reporting pairing issues with the left earbud. It should be noted that both buds have to be properly charged to pair and operate. Unfortunately it is easy to mistake the charge state of the buds in the charging box. The LEDs will be off when fully charged, and the same will be true if they are uncharged. To properly charge them they have to be properly positioned on the charging pins in the box. If the buds can be "wiggled", they are not properly positioned. With a little practice and care one can gain proficiency in properly positioning them for charging.
I have found these earbuds to be a very good choice for workouts, and recommend them even at their full price as a good buy.

Truly portable
on October 22, 2019
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this when I travel across the Atlantic ocean, because it is truly portable. It works well with my tiny action camera (Yi 4k) and my compact camera (Canon PowerShot S110). It takes up very little space and is very light weight. It can easily fit into my day bag used for touring. It's multi-functionality is another plus.

Good option for long flights
on October 22, 2019
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to make a number of long flights each year across the Atlantic ocean, and have gotten weary lugging headphones with me for these trips. These wired earbuds provide a good alternative. They are much, much smaller and lighter. They provide reasonable noise isolation. They provide good audio for music and movies. I find that the microphone does an acceptable job for making phone calls. The multi-function button supplies the few controls I need while traveling. The L-shaped plug is easier to live with when squished into the extremely narrow seats in economy. I can wear these earbuds comfortably for up to 4 hours.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this drive to make routine backups of my windows desktop pc, using Acronis True Image. It does so with great speed, and with no issues. I love that it has an on/off switch on its rear, so I can leave it hooked up permanently to my machine and to its power supply. It is clearly extremely well made, and looks like it will last for at least 5 more years.

I got this monitor to act as a second monitor for my desktop computer. It was one of very few monitors that can be rotated into portrait mode, a feature I very much wanted for my workstation. It functions extremely well in that position, and I have it in that orientation permanently. I use it for editing code, and for monitor windows. It is in fact the second such monitor that I have purchased. The screen is perfect for my purposes.

If your usb port is a usb 2.0 port, the maximum throughput speed will be ~200Mbs.

I’ve never owned a Samsung tablet but I’m glad I purchased this one. I bought it as a replacement for a 10 year old HD Nook and this is a fabulous replacement. Light weight, slim, yet very solid. I recommend you buy a screen protector and case. Has plenty of storage for apps and has great video and sound.

By Mikew
It works of you aren't trying to cast any type of video. Otherwise, all you get it a glitchy, buffering cast of what you're trying to watch.
Works for me
March 31, 2022
I am connecting to it with a Samsung Tab S6 Lite, using the Smart View utility in the tablet. I am watching movies from VUDU, and YouTube videos with no problem. I did have to enable HDCP in the adapter to watch the copyrighted material from VUDU - and this is done using the Microsoft Display Adapter app, that only runs on Windows.

Nice little laptop
By VickieE
It's been many years since i've purchased a computer. I really like the size and weight of this one. The only thing I don't like is that I can't install Chrome. It seems they only want me to use Bing. The other thing is that there is no Excel without paying extra and I don't want to pay for just one spreadsheet. I have Office on a cd but there is no cd slot. Other than that, I really like it so far, much faster than my old computer and has touch screen. It was one of the least expensive ones that I could find. It's worth the price I paid. I'll just have to find someone who knows what they are doing to help me around the issues of getting Chrome and using the one spreadsheet I need. Overall good purchase.

Can you program a wattage limit? I can’t have an appliances exceed 1000 watts where I live

The wattage used increases with the set temperature, and also with the speed of the fan (which can't be set).

Does this item have a 3 prong plug? I need one as i will use it at work and need 3 prong to be compliant

It has a polarized two-prong plug, ie, one prong is larger than the other. It can be plugged in only one way. The outlet on the wall must permit the use of such a plug.

Logitech Desk Mat lets you find your glide and define your style, all while keeping your desk protected. Click some color into your workspace with your choice of aesthetics. The soft cloth mat delivers style and comfort. Pair it with Logitech POP Keys, POP Mouse, and more.
 

Would this mat be appropriate for setting my laptop on, on top of a mahogany desk? The features mention it holding a keyboard, mouse etc but I.d like to know if it would also be fine to set a laptop on it. Thank you!

I use it with my gaming laptop and gaming mouse. It works well. It would be fine on your mahogany desk.

Does the refurbished t7 work as good as a new t7?

I purchased two of these refurbished drives. After properly initializing and formatting one of them, it appears to work as well as a new drive. This was not true for the second drive - I struggled to get it to work, and then found that 7% of the sectors of the drive were bad. It now appears to be working, but I less confidence in it.

Does the external SSD come with a USB-C cable? I’m not sure if I have one.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.

Is the 8GB RAM memory expandable?
