So far so good.....replaced a Blu phone that had a bad charging port. Seems like a decent phone. Will have to give it some time to see for sure. But so far would recommend.

I have three of these drives...two are system drives the other is storage on a video editing machine. So far so good. Hoping these are as relaible for years and years as the barracida drives etc I have used in the past....SSDD is much faster and no noise.....no moving parts so in theory they should last forever....but I know there is finite number of rewrites they support, so we shall see.

I read some negative reviews on this unit but decided to try for myself. Glad I did. I am using this unit in my garage/shop so its not used every day. But have used it several times now and so far so good. The bluetooth capability was the main reason I chose this one. Too many ads on radio these days. But I did test the FM function and it pulls in the usual stations around here just fine. I am driving some smallish speakers but even so, I can crank them and they sound great. The only "con" I dont like so much is that the remote is necessary for some functions. In the old days EVERYTHING was on the face of receivers. I guess its the style now to do it this way....would prefer to have ever function available on the unit itself in case I lose the remote. That is why I took off one star. But for the price, and considering the performance so far, I guess I can live with it. Hoping the unit lasts long term. It should -- unit seems to be a quality piece.....but time will tell.

 WD - Mainstream 500GB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops
WD - Mainstream 500GB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops
Upgrade your desktop with this WD Mainstream internal Serial ATA hard drive that features a 500GB capacity for storing digital media. Data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps offer efficient performance.
 

Why is it that Best Buy never updates their stock at the local stores? I know that there were hard drives of the kind I was looking for on the shelves there, yet they claim they are unavailable on the website?

I have seen this happen too....though to be fair, other stores have this problem as well. I always end up calling the store personally and having a staff member put hands on the item and HOLD it for me....only way to be sure.

How does this receiver sound...is it a full sound, or is it like an a/m radio? I find newer receivers don't sound so great.

I have two small sony speakers connected to it and am shocked at how great it sounds, even at high listening levels. The audio on FM and BT sound full and clean. I haevn't tried other inputs yet.

What are dimensions?

It measures 13 1/4" deep, 17 1/4" wide and sits just about 5 1/2" high on a shelf, including its feet. You have to leave space around the unit for air flow of course.

Can you plug an iPod Nano into the front jack and have it play your music? What kind of cable would I need?

There is a mini stereo jack labeled "aux 3" on the front of the unit. So if your Nano has a cable that terminates on one end in a mini stereo male, you can connect it.

Blu tooth speaker wont work

The BT works ONE direction....IN , not out, as far as I can tell. That means you can connect your cell phone etc to play music (which I do all the time, and it works GREAT) but it doesnt connect to things like bluetooth speakers. You would use your regular type wired speakers to get sound.
