Beautiful transfers
on March 25, 2022
Posted by: Bender
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are incredible 4k transfers. Paramount really went all out to get these looking the best they've ever looked. I wish they would have done a little more with the packaging, maybe a steelbook set or a little sturdier boxset. On the bright side, each disc has its own slot and no cardboard sleeves. Paramount is quickly becoming the top studio for 4k upgrades. Keep doing great work, The Godfather series has never looked better

With his assassination, however, his ambitious youngest Sean (Joe Cole) sought to ride out the power vacuum between challenges from his own family, international gangs jockeying for new turf, and the efforts of undercover cop/rising foot soldier Elliot Finch (Sope Dirisu). Lucian Msamati, Michelle Fairley, Mark Lewis Jones, Narges Rashidi, Parth Thakerar, Asif Raza Mir, Valene Kane also star.9 episodes on 3 discs. 9 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

I'm a huge fan of Gareth Evans, who did The Raid films and Apostle, and this series doesn't disappoint. Fast-paced, intricate story with action sequences like we have never seen on television before

When Vietnam vet John Rambo returns home, he struggles to shut off his troubled memories and traumas, setting the stage for a violent conflict with the unsuspecting law enforcement tasked with subduing him. This definitive box set brings together every entry into the iconic Rambo franchise in one action-packed collection. Included are First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III, Rambo, and Rambo: Last Blood.

My son had a cancerous kidney removed when he was only 1, so we really have to keep him hydrated. This was the perfect solution and he loves to be able to carry it around like a big boy (he's 4 now)

Really tough to find on release week (even if you pre-ordered), but well worth the wait. This is one of the best looking movies in 4k, period.

Turn your powerline into a high-speed network with this TP-LINK AV600 Nano TL-PA4010KIT kit, which features compatibility with HomePlug AV, 802.3 and 802.3u Internet standards and a data transfer rate of up to 600 Mbps. AES encryption protects your data.
 

So if I have a PlayStation 4 I can plug this thing into the wall and use a Lan cable and connect the cable to this device and the other end to my PlayStation? Because if that would be much needed.

Yes. I had this plugged into my Xbox One (and now my Series X) and it works perfectly

Instantly expand the peak speed capacity of the most-powerful gaming experience Xbox has ever created with the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. Effortlessly compatible with the Xbox Velocity Architecture, experience the fastest load times and most dynamic worlds~even improving the overall performance of thousands of Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games. The ultimate power, speed, and compatibility is now at your fingertips.
 

First time using one of these is it best to install the Game on the Console (Even if it’s the first one ) or this the NVME SSD first or always so long as there’s room on it ?

I used up my internal SSD storage first (well, up to about 90%) then started downloading to the Seagate, there's no difference whatsoever on how games play, which is nice. It's literally just an extra TB of storage for your Series X/S

Is the read and write speed of these cards the same as the Internal ssd

The exact same. Played Gears 5 off of the SSD, then transferred it to the Seagate and played it, no difference whatsoever.

Will this drive be able to be setup and used as an external Media Drive to play Personal Media instead of Formatted for Extra Storage to play Games?

It doesn't seem like it. Seagate seems to have built this solely with the Xbox Series X/S in mind

I currently have a Series S and may upgrade to a Series X in the next year or two. If I download and store a bunch of games on this drive will I be able to plug and play this in to a new Series X? Or will I have to format it and start all over again?

Yes. Same slot is on both the Series X and S. Transfer your games from your Expansion card over to the X should be almost instantaneous.

I don't see why not. The dimensions for the new controller seem to be the same, just connect your phone to the controller via bluetooth and you should be set
