Needed to mount a small solid state drive into a desktop computer's bays, and this was a good fit. Easy to install and secure the drive, and then the whole package into the computer.

Planned to migrate the operating system (Windows 10) to an isolated solid state drive, and the SanDisk 120Gb was just the right size, speed and cost. Did install the OS and this drive was great for the task, then the disk controller failed on the mainboard so we replaced the computer. But will probably install this on the new computer and move the OS over to it, most likely along with a couple of key software packages.

Wanted to begin the upgrade process from HD to 4K, and one necessity is an HDMI cable with the bandwidth to support 4K. This cable was a perfect fit for the current 12 foot in wall cable, and worked to deliver a flawless signal.

I was looking for a security camera that was easy to use and install, and Arlo was a perfect choice. The cameras (I finally got 4) were really easy to setup, install and use. They are good day or night, and have very good video resolution. The cloud storage of the images are really handy and give you weeks of image capture.

I wanted to replace a frayed iPhone cable, but at the same time wanted a shorter version instead of the 3 foot model that comes with the phone. One of the store managers looked this up for me. It's just the right length, and having two in the package means one stays in the car, and one stays on the kitchen counter.

Good quality, long lasting and economical ink. I've used a refilled ink cartridge before, and that resulted in a clogged print head. Never had that problem using HP.

Only @ Best BuySet up your television and DVR with this Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable, and enjoy high-quality high-definition entertainment the way it was meant to be viewed. The 4-foot cable offers ample length for connecting components, and a triple-layer shield protects against interference. This Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable supports transfer speeds up to 18 Gbps for lag-free enjoyment of your media.
I just bought a hisense 2160p 4K how do I make the tv look like how it does in the store?
Well, the first thought is you may need to have the set calibrated. Most sets are shipped completely out of adjustment, so if you want it to look as best as the set can, then you probably should have it professionally calibrated. Second, you need the right program material - 4K content. You can get that from several input sources, including 4K discs. Just remember you will need a player that can handle 4K, cables that have 4K bandwidth capability, and if you use one, an AV receiver that processes 4K signals.
Next thought is you may need to rethink how your viewing room is set up. Generally, glare and bright lights can make the video image look more washed out than a darker room. There are a number of good articles on how to set up a room for really good viewing.
Final thought about how the set should look - it may take 60 to 80 hours of viewing time for everything to settle down in your set's electronics. Some things really do get better with age! After that, then consider having the set calibrated.
Good luck, and happy viewing...

sure, but why? The one in the machine will handle just about anything short of VR.

How far does the Wifi reach with this router
Well, that really depends on what you're trying to push the signal through. Wallboard - no problem, should cover an average house. Steel frame building - not as far. Outdoors through the side of your house - also depends, but a hundred feet or so easily.

Why are scanned files so large?
A four page scan has a size of 2.2 MB. The same pages scanned on a Cannon copier is 325 KB and the quality looks the same. Why are the files so large? Can the scans be make a small file size?
It's most likely due to the resolution you selected on the scan dialogue. For example, if you're scanning those 4 pages at 600 dpi in full color into a searchable PDF, that adds up. If there are images involved in addition to b/w text, then file size grows even more. Try setting the scan resolution to 200 dpi.

why doesn't my Seagate backup plus 1TB back up my Quicken
You need to set the backup location in Quicken. I recommend using a folder structure like this: finance/year/month - looks like this documents/finance/2015/01 for this month. Then each month change the month folder, and Quicken will perform backups that you can easily identify if you ever need to roll back your Quicken files.
One warning: you can't use the external drive on both your computer and your DVR. Unless someone has a workaround, it's one or the other, but not both.
