I purchased this Logitech M325 Wireless Optical Mouse to replace one I lost while traveling. Had the previous one for over 2 years with no problems. I love that it automatically shuts down after a period of no movement to save the battery, but wakes immediately when moving. I find a single AA battery really does last 18 months or more. Tracks smoothly, fits easily in your hand.

I needed a flash drive to create Windows 10 recovery media for my laptop. This USB 3.0 flash drive fit the bill. I like the retractable connector that slides out to insert into the USB port.

I purchased this Samsung 850 EVO to replace a failed HGST 500GB hard drive in my Lenovo laptop. Installation was easy, and the 850 is FAST!!! My laptop now boots Windows 10 from cold start in under 15 seconds vs. a couple of minutes previously.

I wanted a good local backup solution with lots of storage. The Seagate - Backup Plus Hub 8TB fits the need. Easy installation, USB 3.0 speed, 8TB of NTFS space immediately recognized on my Win 10 computer. While it's great for backup, note that this is not appropriate for heavy R/W usage because the overlapping track layout means that adjacent tracks must be rewritten when new data is written. Also doubles as an all-in-one data hub and recharging station.

This is the third APC - Back-UPS I've owned. It prevents my desktop from shutting down each time there's a brief power fluctuation or black-out. I especially like the Powerchute feature that will gracefully shut down a Windows machine if the power outage lasts longer than the battery capacity of the Back-UPS.

We used this monitor for demos at a trade show in Las Vegas. Everything worked well and the screen was easy for attendees to read despite the bright lights of the trade show floor. We did not use the built-in speakers so have no opinion on their quality.

Went to upgrade my Dell XPS 8500 desktop to Windows 10, but it complained about the AMD Radeon display adapter that came with the machine. Went to AMD's website and found they had stopped supporting my graphics card with Win 8.1. Checked out the Nvidia website, which confirmed this card supported Win 10. Shut down the machine, installed this Nvidia card, fired it back up and Win 10 install went smoothly. No problems. I'm not a gamer and haven't tried running any games, but doubt this card has the power to render complex games.

Bought this to replace the wall charger that came with my Moto X phone. Works exactly as expected, and it glows slightly in the dark. Only drawback is the unit is wider than my original, which causes it to block adjacent horizontal outlets in a multi-gang outlet. But that's not a problem in a standard vertically-aligned two outlet wall plug.

I want to transfer files from my old external hard drive to this one. Would it be better to go through my computer or could I plug the old HD into this one' front ports? Thanks.

You'll need a computer to transfer files between the old and new drives. The front ports are USB charging and will accommodate Smart Phones because they have their own operating system.

Can ports be turned off to prevent authorized use

This is a power conditioner and backup power source for when the AC power fluctuates or blacks out. It sits between the AC wall outlet and whatever device(s) you want to power. It does not connect to a network (other than it can power a router/modem), and has no TCP or UDP ports. It can connect to a USB port on a computer to inform the computer to shut down gracefully before the backup battery is exhausted via the free Powerchute software application.
