This is a great SSD with a ton of storage. I sued this thing for my Steam drive and it's filled with a ton of games. They load in a split second and I love it.
If you want a ton of space that's super fast get this thing now.

The best all around VR headset there is.
on June 27, 2020
Posted by: Mikey
Verified Purchase:Yes
I own the Oculus Go, Rift S and the Quest.
The Rift S is a PC only VR headset and it works great for that. It's what I mainly use for PCVR. It's a 6 degree of freedom headset that doesn't require external sensors. You plug it in and it just works.
The Go is what I use to consume media (TV shows and Movies). I love using it at night when I'm laying in bead. There's nothing like having a 300" screen in front of your eyes as your head is laying flat on the bed. Much nicer than having to tilt your head to look at a TV. It's also can play some games too. It only has 3 degrees of freedom which means you can rotate your view 360 degrees but you can move forward, backward, up and down. It also is a stand alone headset that doesn't need a computer.
The Oculus Quest is the only headset that can play PCVR games and is a stand alone headset. You can play tons of high quality VR games on the Quest without touching a PC. I love playing Beat Saber on the Quest every day.
The Quest can also connect to a PC to play PCVR games. This can be done using a cable with the Oculus Link feature or over WiFi using Virtual Desktop. The Quest is the best overall headset there is. It does everything at a cheap price. For only $399 you can do everything there is to do in VR.
The screen is awesome too. It's an OLED screen so you have perfect blacks and the colors are vibrant.
If you're not like me and can't buy more than on VR headset and you want to play away from your PC even a little bit this is the headset to get period.

This thing is perfect for storage and travel. It fits the charger, charging cable, remote, and the Go. I couldn't ask for more for a case for the Oculus Go.

Great for watching movies in beed
on June 27, 2020
Posted by: Mikey
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this after I started watching movies in bead with my Oculus Quest. The Quest is super heavy so I bought the Go and it's perfect for what I bought it for.
It's super light and it allows me to have a massive screen to watch TV and movies before I go to sleep.
The only problem I have is that the battery life is only 3 hours max. I usually have a magnetic quick release cable connected so if I fall asleep the cable will disconnect without breaking the port.
If it had a larger battery life I would give it a 5 out of 5.

Great if you want more buttons.

Posted by: Mikey
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been waiting to buy this since it was released. Ever since it went on sale it has been out of stock everywhere because of the virus and it was going for $100+ on eBay. I finally was able to buy it from Best Buy at the retail price and I am glad I waited.
It's a great device if you want extra buttons and I will use it one day. Right now I'm not really playing my PlayStation that much so I would have been upset if I bought it above the retail price.
It has a nice little screen on the device and it is used for programming it. The buttons feel great when clicked and they are in the perfect positions. It couldn't have been designed better IMO.

The best monitor I have ever used.
on June 27, 2020
Posted by: Mikey
Verified Purchase:Yes
Word's can't explain how much I like this keyboard but I'll give it a shot anyway.
I had a 32" Samsung monitor before this one and it was a little to large for my liking when playing games. Plus it was a 60Hz display which is fine for everything but gaming IMO.
The 27" size is perfect for how far I'm from my monitor. I am now able to see most of the screen in the center of my vision. Plus is has 144Hz which is a night and day difference. Playing Doom Eternal on my 2080 Super is a totally different game.
This is also my first adaptive sync monitor and while I haven't played a game that's dipped below 144Hz I'm sure I will never have screen tearing ever.
I bought this monitor over the other model with the USB ports on the back for an extra $50. I can get way more ports, including quick charging ports, for around $30 on Amazon if I need extra USB ports. Because of that I decided to save the $50 it cost for the other model.

Great keyboard for the price!

Posted by: Mikey
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this keyboard for $50 and I love it. I didn't want to deal with batteries and I wanted a keyboard that was viewable at night. While I had to give up mechanical keys with this keyboard it's not that bad. I actually really like the feels of the keys when pressed.
If you're looking for a great keyboard for a cheap price you can't go wrong with this one.

Awesome for a 1080p gaming build!

I bought this for my fathers new build so my nephews and nieces could play some modern PC games at 1080p for the next few years. This card is great for that. At $300 it's either this or the 5600xt. I went with this one since Nvidia has had better drivers for years.

I got this for my fathers new build. This is currently the best selling CPU on Amazon for a reason. You get increadable performance for the price. 8 cores 16 threads will last my father for the next 10+ years.

Start your system in seconds, store up to 2TB of your irreplaceable files, and upgrade with a drive you can count on. Improve your system with the Crucial~ MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, an SSD built on quality, speed, and security that~s all backed by helpful service and support. It~s worth it.

Defective replacement&initial purchase missing 70G
By Dissapointed
My first drive was missing 69 gigs. I returned it which they first asked me to come in person (1 hour plus commute each way) to do even though I bought via delivery online. They then changed to sending me a label to return and shipping the replacement to me, where it kept saying delivered on both the Fedex website and the Best Buy website using the tracking number (the BestBuy staff I spoke with told me he couldn’t see the “delivered” status and that I was wrong, but I have photos of the literal Fedex website and the texts from fedex). After I put in a case request, the status kept changing and resetting to say “delayed” or “pending” after sending me a notification it was delivered (it wasn’t). Then it finally got here 3 days late with no notice. I installed the new drive and guess what? It’s ALSO missing 69 gigs. This is ridiculous. I needed the drive for work. I shouldn’t pay for 1 TB and get 70 gigs less than that. The photos have exactly the same space but they are taken on different drives. First is from 3/25 initial purchase second is from 4/2 replacement. This has been a headache. Save your money and peace of mind.

There is no missing 69 gigs.
April 27, 2021
You are not seeing 1TB in Windows because once the drive is formatted there is no longer 1TB of usable space. Formatting takes up space on the drive which is why every drive you have ever used shows a fraction of it's advertised size in Windows. For example a 500GB drive tends to only show 465GB available. Or a 4TB drive has 3.63TB free to use once formatted.

Does this controller light up or do the eyes on the touch pad move?

The eyes are planted on so they do not move at all. It’s a normal controller with a cool paint job.
