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.

I needed a short lightening cable for making sure my iPhone stayed charged while on client sites. This is perfect - short and doesn't get in the way like a 3 foot cable does.

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.

External SSD Hard Drive

I just finished a search of BestBuy and could not find any external SSD hard drives for a desktop PC (portable not necessary). Lots of external hard drives shown, but none show as SSD. Suggestions please?
Sure - buy an external enclosure and an SSD. Pop the drive into the enclosure, hook it up via the USB connection, and then partition/format the drive any way you need. At the moment, a 1TB SSD is the largest I know of that's commercially available, but I'm sure larger drives are coming soon.

which hard drive is best for a mac lap top?

I'm guessing from your question you want to replace an existing hard drive on your MAC. I would highly recommend using a solid state drive - they're faster and much better performing. There are a number of SSDs on the market so it's become a matter of preference. I just installed a 1TB SSD and it's awesome. Check the support web sites for the manufacturer you like, buy the drive and then follow their install instructions to the letter.

 WD - My Book AV 1 TB External Hard Drive - Retail - Black
WD - My Book AV 1 TB External Hard Drive - Retail - Black
Expand your DVR storage so you can record more of your favorite TV shows. Or, transfer and store videos from your compatible camcorder to free up space for more recording. Connect the drive to a game console, Blu-ray Disc player or media player, like one from the WD TV family, to smoothly stream video to your big screen TV. It's the perfect solution for your video storage and playback needs.
 

change tv carriers

I had purshased a WD - My Book AV 1TB USB 2.0 and e-sata expander WDBABT0010HBK to use for FIOS tv and it became necessary to change to directv.
Question: will I be able to view movies/programs on my tv the recordings I had in the expander????
Will I be able to use the expander on Directv system to record movies/programs????
Very grateful for an answer.....
It is very unlikely you will be able to view material you recorded on this WD drive while using a FIOS box when you change to DirecTV. And the bad news is that you probably cannot plug the My Book into someone else's FIOS box and be able to see the recorded material either. Don't know if you can use the MyBook on DirecTV, but you should be able to find that out on their web site - search support for MyBook and see what others have posted.
