I use this drive to transfer data between two devices that are not on the same network. Have used it hundreds of times with no failures. Good speed for the price.

I only need a few functions in this highly capable software. I am certainly not a video expert. However, previous versions had significant issues in file system navigation, most of them have been corrected. There are still some issues, but it is much better.
The photo editing is first rate. I still miss some of the features in the full product, but the value in the Elements package is good for moderate-level amateur photographers.

I use an M510 mouse on my laptop and have used it for several years. My desktop mouse finally gave it up. I replaced it with an M310. The M310 did not last as long, and is showing signs of failing, it just will not quit completely, so I have this 510 in the box waiting for me.

Thumb drive has worked in all devices into which I have tried it. I use it for transferring videos from my video game recorder to a Windows PC.
Drive is fast enough for my use.
I had to reformat it for the recorder, so that eliminated the encryption software.

This disk worked out of the box with the provided USB cable. The price is very good for a compact, portable drive with 4TB.
It is a little slow, but for the price, it is fine.
I am concerned about losing the product-specific cable that came with the drive. It has a funny end that looks like it is probably a miniature version of an ATA cable. I have not looked to see if these can be purchased at stores, but if I lose or damage the cable, it looks like a WD mail order item.

I chose Sony over Bose primarily because Bose will not publish their numbers and Sony is very open about it. I have had several sets of noise cancelling headphones from Philips and Sony and have been extremely happy with Sony. Great noise cancelling, wired or wireless use, battery lasts for transOceanic flights -- even to Australia.

Got it to directly record 60 fps HD video. Does the job. Had to reformat because of my device, but that was a snap.
Got rid of security software because I could not use it with my recorder, but having in-built security would be good if it is being used with computers.

Used it to replace a Logitech mouse that was part of a keyboard combo. The mouse stopped working after several years.
It took some fiddling using a wired mouse, but it worked right away.
Inexpensive Mouse for those who do need lots of buttons. Software adjusts speed.

I wanted to hook my Bluetooth headphones to my TV. All of the Bluetooth device reviews indicated that there was significant latency. The device at Best Buy had poor reviews, and the salesperson said the product was not well received.
She pointed out a new device to try and two special-purpose headphones. The new device looked to be better designed than the old device at twice the price. The less expensive headphones were more expensive than the new device.
The Sony headphones were the most expensive, but had better features (more RF channels, greater frequency response). They are heavier and more sound insulated (less social) than I wanted, but they are quite comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. I only use them for a couple of hours between charges, so I do not know what the battery life is like. They cannot be used while being charged.

Is this camera fast enough for indoor basketball?

Obviously this is dependent upon your lighting conditions. I used it in some very dimly lit churches quite successfully. It does have interchangeable lenses so you may consider a fast lens.

Hi does the camera come with a batery?

Yes. It barely lasts a day of intermediate shooting, so I bought a second one and a charger.
