I must admit that I am biased toward Samsung products. Most everything I have purchased with the Samsung brand, from microwaves to TVs and computer peripherals, has performed as expected. This drive is no different.
I used the drive as the boot drive for a fresh install of Windows 10, so I didn't need to use the included drive mirroring software.
The drive is packaged as a laptop drive, so no hard drive bay adapters are included. However, the mounting screws match up to a standard bay and allow one to screw in one side, which is adequate for a desktop system.
The performance of the drive has been flawless so far. Samsung has a pretty good warranty, so I have piece of mind with the purchase. Overall, pretty good bang for the buck.

I purchased this unit to replace my ailing and outdated surround AMP and I am very pleased with the performance. There are numerous connectivity options from cell phones to media servers with this WiFi enabled AMP. The setup which uses an app on your smart phone, tablet or PC was a novel approach and allows one to fully configure the unit. I especially liked the automatic surround setup using the included microphone. There was one issue with the setup when I needed to go back and change a setting. The menu would not display, but starting over downloaded an update which fixed the display issue. Other than that I am very happy with both the quality and features.

I bought this for my wife who just got an iPhone 6 Plus. Like the title says, it fits perfectly and was easy to fit on the phone. This color complements the gold iPhone perfectly while adding protection and enhancing grip.

This is a basic reference GTX 980 with 4GB of DDR5. No overclocking or extras in the box other than the SLI connector, but it does exactly what it is supposed to do and that is to deliver some serious graphics power. I am currently running Fallout 4 @ 1080 with no issues and BF4 @ 2560 x 1440 with 100+ FPS on a Samsung 4k monitor.

The packaging was exquisite with nothing left to chance. Included were three different sized sets each of neoprene and noise cancelling foam tips for the buds as well as three sets of retention adapters (fins). Add to that the included gadgets for customizing the length of the cable and you have a highly customizable set of ear buds. Make no mistake, you will spend some time getting these set up and fitting perfectly, but it is worth the effort. After a very simple and quick pairing with my cell, I found the sound quality exceptional. I went with the noise isolating foam plugs which really help reduce wind noise while riding my motorcycle, The controls on the cord allow you to adjust the volume and to advance/replay tracks. With the reports of reliability issues with another popular brand, I am really glad I went with the Jaybirds. The website has useful videos to help you with sizing and operation.

My wife has and IPad air. I am an Android guy and I like this better. Of course there are other better alternatives out there, but you'll pay for them. This little guy has all of the features I need to include an amazing screen for a great price. I love the extra thin bezel and camera function. I mostly use it for social media, picture taking and reading eBooks.

We have pets, so we have pet hair. This unit really does a great job on upholstery, drapes, and even jackets without clogging up! It would be great if this shipped with the vacuum instead of the rotary head!

If you have a snapshot camera, you need this! The ability to wrap the legs around objects is very handy. You can get some great angles and add some flair with the timed exposure!

I bought this point and shoot camera, because my camera phone is a potato. It was almost free with the Best Buy points I had saved up. I am happy with the resolution, features, etc. I use it for snaps on motorcycle trips. Along with the Gorilla tripod, it comes in pretty handy. This is the only camera I found that allows one to charge via the USB and it comes with a replaceable battery. After a month or so, however, I experienced an intermittent no power problem. I thought it was because I was using the keyboard pass through USB, but it eventually failed to power up. Best Buy replaced it under the holiday replacement policy with no hassles. So far everything is fine with the new unit.

Can I watch satellite and have sound on the tv without the receiver being on?
I have all the HDMI inputs through the Pioneer VSX-830-k and the HDMI out running to the tv. I would like to know if there is a way to watch the satellite signal and sound through the TV without the AV receiver being on.
Yes, the unit has two features that let you choose which device plays via pass through when it is powered off. One is "last used" or you can select which input uses the pass through.

Compatible with DC44 (cordless)?
The rug attachment that came with my DC44 no longer works, so I am looking to replace it. Would this attachment serve a similar function and be compatible?
It is compatible with DC19 and up, except DC24 and Dyson cordless vacuums. It's designed for upholstery, however. Not sure what good it will do on floors or carpet. Works great with our long-haired cat. Currently own a DC-59.
