For work I have multiple virtual machines (VMs - essentially running another computer operating system within my current computer) which I need to run for various reasons. This external drive allows me to keep the main VMs I need on a single drive while avoiding running out of hard drive space on my laptop. I am capable of running two VMs off of this drive simultaneously with very good response time.
This appears to be a very durable external drive and definitely serves its purpose. I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing additional disk space who has a USB3 connection on their computer.
Price was good as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is this a $3000 refrigerator, NO!. But it is a wonderful refrigerator for this price range. I do not understand people who complain about the noise, it is as quiet as any other refrigerator I have owned. The ice maker is great and serves us well. The dispenser in the door works great as well with no water or ice falling out unexpectedly. Interior size meets our needs well and provides plenty of space and access. My wife loves it and I see no real negatives. Yes, a deli drawer may be nice but is not a necessity.
Setup is very easy. leveling the refrigerator is quick and explained very well in the manual. Even door leveling and evening was easy to accomplish. Hint, level the refrigerator from side to side before you start attempting any adjustments to the doors, that will give you most if not ll of the evening of the doors required to line them up.

I set this up in the upstairs hall. It brings the two lights on as a nightlight whenever anyone goes back and forth to the bathroom or someone comes up from downstairs late at night. Nice scheduling options. Sensitivity could be better. I need a setting in between the two which I normally use. But, it is still useful and my family appreciates it.

I added a light strip and some color bulbs to my living room. It is great to set up the strip and the bulbs to the same color and leave them on, dimmed, so the living room is a welcoming environment when my wife gets home. She really appreciates the soft blue which is a common color selection.

I have multiple bulbs for my hue environment. This white bulb is used in standard locations in which I do not have a need or desire for color or want to spend the extra for the hue ambience. It is a great bulb for my foyer and connects wonderfully with my system.

This light strip is a very nice way to add color to your Hue system, as well as a lot of light. It was, typical of Hue components, very easy to setup and get up and running.
The only reason a star was taken off (half a star would have been better) is because this strip is fairly stiff and does not wrap around corners very well. I did not expect it to wrap right around the corner, but I expected it to be more flexible.

I purchased this lens as a Christmas gift for my son's girlfriend. She had put her lens in her camera bag, the front lens cover came off, and the lens was scratched badly enough that it was effectively unusable. this lens is highly recommended in the Canon community. I would recommend it to a friend if they had a Canon APS sensor camera would really appreciate this lens. I am a Nikon user by the way, but I know cameras.

The Hoya filters are very well respected in the photography community. I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son's girlfriend (along with a new lens).
I am a semi-professional photographer and I have a couple of this line of Hoya filters. Highly recommended as a protective cover for the glass at the end of a lens. Cheap insurance to protect a much more expensive lens. Hoya filters are clear and cause no negative effects when they are used.

This is one of the better Logitech remotes I have owned. There is a more tactile feel to the buttons when they are pressed. I like the back lighting. Easy transfer of my old settings although I do have to tweak a couple of things at this time. But, overall, one of the better Logitech remotes I have owned. Hopefully it will last more than 14 - 16 months with daily use.

I purchased this modem to replace an older model which was obsolete. This modem provided some speed increase. It is compatibly with Comcast/Xfinity (is supported by them). The install was very quick and easy, the slowest process was getting on to the Comcast site and getting it setup there.

How long is the cable coming from the power supply? And does anyone know if these run at 12V DC?
The power cord is approximately 8 feet long. The transfer is located at the wall plug end. No, it does not run off of 12V DC without a power inverter. You might be able to 'hot wire' it differently, but I would not spend the money only to break it in the process.

Does this have Image Stabilization?
No, it does not. A lens with image stabilization is more expensive that this one. Although, this lens is a really good lens. Image stabilization is only necessary in certain situations and not useful (can be detrimental) in others. Do some research and see if you need image stabilization most of the time you are shooting. If not, this is a good lens to purchase.

Can I use the printer with dye sublimation inks?
Yes, but if you have used the original inks you will need to perform several head cleanings to clear out the original ink. It would be best to get a CIS system from someone like Cobra Ink to do this. It has the piezo head which is a common head for sublimation printing. Another thing to consider is that you must use the printer at least two or three times a week to avoid the heads from clogging. This means printing something which uses enough ink to pass through and clean/dissolve any inks which may be starting to dry out (sublimation inks are primarily water based). If you use it daily then it should not be an issue.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Super Telephoto Zoom Lens: Designed for use with most Nikon cameras with an F-Mount, this super telephoto zoom lens lets you capture birds, wildlife, motorsports and events in crisp clarity. The f/5.6 constant aperture helps you achieve out-of-focus backgrounds and lets you shoot in dim lighting.
I am considering this lense for a D3300 to shoot high school football at night from the stands on monopod. How well will this work for high school football at night? Will it produce great quality photos?
Overall, it should. The lens will not be the issue in this case, but the camera might. I will require a higher ISO for the environment you are talking about and the quality of the pictures will be determined by how well the D3300 handles higher ISO pictures. Test it to make sure before you buy the lens. Overall, this is a great lens, the question actually depends upon how well the D3300 handles low light environments.
