Yes, these hybrid drives are much faster than conventional drives but not as fast as a true SSD. However, they are much less expensive than a comparably sized SSD. EXCELLENT VALUE!!

Plenty of storage space and works perfectly at a great price. Let's face it, this is an external USB drive. There isn't much you can say about it.

Hey, it's a cable. Way too much is made about buying expensive cables for better image quality. As far as I'm concerned, cables are a commodity product.

I've seen sharper projectors, but not for the cost. Setup was easy. Unit is used in a classroom. However, it would not be good for a larger venue needing a bigger picture. Overall, I am quite pleased.

Voices are now remarkably clear. Listening to music and watching movies and concerts are a far different experience. You have no idea what you are missing.
After listening to several more expensive center channel speakers, I decided on this Definitive Tech model. It provides a terrific bang for the buck and equal or better quality when compared to more expensive speakers.

This projector has bright video and excellent features for the money. I've seen better video resolution, but at a much higher cost. The Quick Corner feature is excellent for ease of setup. There are better projectors on the market, but not better values.

Why are the replacement ink cartridges so expensive ? to replace the ink cost twice the amount of a new printer...i

Right you are. There are MANY third party vendors that sell replacement ink and toner cartridges for far less OEM. There are two I have used for quite some time. Both provide excellent products and MUCH better customer service than OEM. Very easy to Google them.

Is this printer capable of accepting a MICR printer cartridge so that I can print my company checks on blank print stock?

HP does not list MICR as a replacement cartridge option. If you can find one, I see no reason it should not work. CAVEAT: Some color printers use all 4 colors even when printing black only. Best to contact HP on that.

Will the HP - Laser Jet Pro M254dw Wireless Color Laser Printer print on 3x5 card stock and will it print photos?

Yes to both questions. However, photo print quality is MUCH better if you use relatively pricey "Color Laser" paper.

Does this model have a USB port or not?

Depends which type of USB port you are looking for. It DOES have a USB port to connect to your computer for sending a print job (i.e. Six sided D-shaped connector). HP's online specs say it also has a "Walkup host USB port" - whatever that is. Unfortunately, I will not be home for a few days and cannot look at it.

If you are looking for a flash drive port, post this question again next week. I'll be look at it for you. I've never used or tried to plug in a flash drive with the printer.

Enhance your computing experience with this SanDisk Ultra 3D solid-state drive. Its nCache 2.0 technology provides enhanced data transfer speeds, and it’s more robust and power-efficient because of its advanced 3D NAND technology. This solid-state drive has a sequential read speed of 560MB/s for faster loading of large applications. You’ll notice that applications load faster and files move quicker—plus you’ll get longer battery life and much cooler, quieter computing.
 

Hopefully this isn’t a dumb question.... Is this a 12 volt? The guy who helps with my computer told me to make sure it’s a 12 volt and not a 5 volt

All 2.5" drives are the same.
