This is my second Passport, purchase a year apart. The first also 1 TB. I have found them both to be reliable, efficient, & quite convenient, too. USB 3.0 speeds are amazingly fast. The drive runs cool & never disappoints. Recommended!

My existing UPS unexpectedly died & a quick check of my local Best Buy using the handy app showed a number of choices. This UPS is both modern & surprisingly light weight, too. Setup was fast, too. I would buy more without reservation as needed. Love the easy plugin location on top! Brilliant!

Excellent case - fits well, 3rd party cords fit for charging, too. This is my 2nd Speck case. Very pleased. For more protection consider an Otterbox or similar case.

I was looking for a good fitness tracker for steps & heart rate monitoring. This Fitbit has proven to be a great choice! Using the Fitbit app with the tracker has been very handy, too. I spend long hours at my desk sitting. The Fitbit reminds me when I have been sitting too long. I find this as helpful as the higher level functions. It is nice to get text messages via Bluetooth, too. For my first fitness tracker this Fitbit has not disappointed me once! Great battery life, too.

I bought my first HTXT1 for our 40" Sony and truly enjoyed the improved sound from this device. The built-in sub woofers are superb and we use the Bluetooth to link our iPhones to play music from the HTXT1. Very easy to setup, connect devices and use. Bought a second HTXT1 for our main TV and scrapped the old multi speaker sound system. Cleaner appearance & excellent sound, too! Very pleased with this purchase & Best Buy, too.

Great addition to my collection of Blu-Ray James Bond movies. Picture, sound, the whole experience is as expected from Blu-Ray disks. Best of all, I didn't have to wait through previews to get to the movie! Used Best Buy bucks to drop the price under $10. Bonus!

are they completly hands free calling and answering can i say a name or number to make a call

No, to answer a call you have to press the center button. Make calls using your phone but all audio is through the headset. Not a big deal.

What is the width of the unit? I understand it is approx. 28" deep and 2.88" high, but don't see a width given under dimensions provided or anywhere else in the information provided.

The HTXT1 is 28 3/8 inches wide (left to right.

Save your files quickly with this WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive, which features a USB 3.0 interface for transmitting data at up to 480 Mbps. The 1TB capacity offers ample space for data backup and file storage.
 

Will this work with WOW gateway?

I am confused because I saw that esata and usb are different types of connections. The gateway has an esata and usb connection on back. I talked to WOW and they said it had to be an esata drive but they also said the usb connection on the back is a usb 3 connection. Is an esata drive different than a usb drive? I had thought that just about all external HDD's were esata but i guess i was wrong
This drive comes with a drive specific cable that should not be used with other devices. One cable end connects to the drive and the other end is a standard USB connector for connections to your computer or laptop's USB ports.

Can I use it for storing and using my genealogy files?

I do genealogy research and want to know if I can put my family files here and work with them the same as on an internal drive? This would save a lot of flash drives.
This would be a great choice for both your files and have ample storage for a full back up of your computer, too. The contained software makes it easy and painless. You move files between drive and computer as you would with any removable drive. If your computer supports USB 3.0 the file transfer is very quick. I use several of these drives and yes, I keep my genealogy research on the drives. No worries!
