Ordered for the GF, she wanted something simple and easy and have more connectivity with her Galaxy phone to use to replace her older Fitbit. Battery life is good and Samsung has some nice stock options for how you want to see your date on it.

Good TV

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased to replace an old Samsung, I tried a Visio before I bought this model since it rated a bit better and that was a huge mistake which I returned. I've had enough Samsung TVs and they've been good to me over the years. I don't use a TV like I use too and sure I'd love to buy a higher end model which I've done in the past but for my needs this works fine and it does what I need.

Great Sound and Features

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this during the X-mas sales and for the price and the features it has been a great unit. Liked the connections that it offed compared to other models in the same price point and the power output was higher and other models in the same point with the options that I was looking for. Setup was easy and the only strike I say against it so far was the fact it didn't support some surround options like 6.1

2 Broken TV's
on January 22, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this to replace a old Samsung and reviews for this model were a bit better than the Samsung I was looking at. 1st one locked up and would not respond to any controls from remote or on the TV, returned it for another one only for it to do the same thing. Talked to Visio support and they never heard of the issue, offered replacement, have tech sent out or told to return it back to Best Buy. When looking through the reviews at Best Buy I seen another person with the same issue so I returned it and purchased a Samsung which is what I should have done in the 1st place.

Better than using the touch sensor on the VR headset but there are some apps/software that I wish it worked better with.

I like SanDisk but this is a not a great USB stick, over heats and causes issues with the USB port and the USB stick. I wouldn't recommend or ever buy something of this size again due to issues and it's best to stick with a normal USB stick.

Back up documents, pictures and videos with this WD EasyStore USB flash drive. The compact size makes this device ideal for storing in a desk drawer, briefcase or bag, and the 128GB storage capacity offers a convenient solution for students and professionals alike. With USB 3.0 technology, this WD EasyStore USB flash drive connects to your computer or laptop in seconds.
 

Looking for a flash drive that actually shows the photos/vids when I enter the password/cod. Have an old SandD that does that but newer ones don't. All they show is a description of it's item and size. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Some of the SanDisk drives had software to encrypt the data and allowed for a password, I'd stick with a SanDisk drive if you found that easy to use and liked the software. Now all that can be generally be done through the OS or 3rd party software that you use as far as passwords and how the files are shown but I'd say go with what you find is the easiest to use and do.

What does this mean? USB 3.0 interface, for a fast connection backward compatible with 2.0?

USB 3.0 just means that it's faster and when plugged into a 3.0 port you see speed benefits when moving files. The drive will work in an older USB port that is 2.0 or older, the transfer speeds will be slower due to the port.

What are the read and write speeds?

The shame is WD doesn't post or show the drive on their site but since WD does own SanDisk you might be able to match it up with a SanDisk drive since I'm sure the WD drive is just relabeled and colored blue.

How do you stop the drive from glowing?

Generally you can not turn off the light on a USB drive, the light on most drives is shown when it is plugged in or to show when the drive is being accessed.

Will this store and play music files?

Stick will store music files and playing will depend on what you plug it into. I've used this drive for all forms of data and have used it in my car with music files, just make sure you check with the device on what format the drive should be in and what type of music to use.
