A little pricey for what they are but they help me keep my flash drives straight without plugging them in to see whats on them. The attaching ring works well for clipping on your key chain or belt loop and taking the drive with you. It provides protection and is better than having it fall out of your pocket or get banged around in your pocket with loose change

Tremendous amount for storage for the price. When its full, put it on the shelf and get another. I have been using WD usb 2 and 3 hard drives for many years and they have been great. No failures no problems and no reasons not to have a 2nd set of those precious photos and videos.

I purchased this to use with my Roland drum set and Samsung TV. Both devices will only accept flash drives formatted in FAT32 and the largest flash drive you can format in FAT32 is 32 GB . They work fine and the recent lower prices make it a no brainer.Sandisk has always been reliable for me.

I mounted a TV above a brick fireplace with floor to ceiling windows on both sides. The cable box is about 15 feet away.. The hookup was simple and the video and sound works very well, no noticeable loss of quality or lag. The only real problem is the IRblaster. As others have noted, it either doesn't work or works inconsistently, an annoyance but not a deal breaker. You just have to point the remote at the TV to turn it on and off, and at the cable box to control the channels and sound volume. The best part is, nice clean installation above the fireplace with no wires! Sweet!

While more costly than the "generic" replacements, using this product is like insurance for my print head. The printer I own is no longer manufactured and I really like its features. If the print head clogs, it will cost more to repair the print head than than to replace the printer . This ink is a cheap price to pay for a known quality product. Recommended for peace of mind!

I purchased this unit to replace a very old Intuos II that Wacom no longer supports in Windows 10. The unit installed easily right out of the box and works exactly as it should. A more than adequate replacement for my older unit. No bells and whistles but, IMHO, more than adequate for the average home photoshop'er at a decent price point

I was looking to upgrade from an older 24 inch monitor and was considering a 27 inch led. Then I saw this monitor and , compared to the 27 inch unit next to it, it seemed massive. After getting it home , I found the cast aluminum stand to be massive and locks in place tightly. While not adjustable, it provides great support. The unit has a vesa mount on the back and I currently have it connected to a gas strut monitor arm. This monitor is bright and has about the same resolution per inch that my older 1920x1080 unit had even with its substantially larger size. I'm very happy with it, especially at the sale price I paid for it. While I did not professionally calibrate it, it is bright and the colors seem fairly accurate.

I use it to charge a Samsung Galaxy and a Note 2. It doesn't charge quite as fast as my Samsung home rapid charger but it does a good job. Just make sure its pushed in all the way. It seems to have a tendency to "push out" when left inserted in the lighter socket for very long periods (mine is in all the time). I would purchase it again

Easy quick setup. Worked well right out of the box. I haven't seen any 4K UHD material on it yet but the 1080i cable feed provides clear sharp pictures with excellent (in my opinion) color and contrast. The sound is adequate with plenty of volume in an 18 x 14 room with cathedral ceilings. My only complaint so far is the manual. Its all electronic, accessed through the TV menu but if your having problems with the TV, you may not be able to access the manual to figure it out! The stand is very modern, 2 stylish chrome legs raising the unit about 4 inches off the mantle of our fireplace. The bezel around the set is very thin and not distracting from the screen. So far, we're very pleased.

We have two computers, Win 8.1 and XP. Can both computers be backed up on one external hard drive?
Backups can be stored on external drives. Just make sure you have a bootable recovery disc made as your PC may not be able to boot from an external USB drive directly

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
I'm not familiar with WOW gateway but if the company said they have a USB drive port on the back, the passport IS a USB3 drive therefore it should be compatible with the port. It may be that their software is set tto only recognize the ESATA port. I would call WOW back and ask the questions again for clarification. As far as ESATA is concerned, very few drives are ESATA, most are USB 2 or USB 3. ESATA is faster in real life than USB 3 but not nearly as friendly to use. ESATA is not usually "hot swappable" and requires special cables to work. The cables are often "touchy" and may disconnect. Not worth the trouble in my opinion. I bought 1 ESATA drive. I never bought another one.FWIW

Specs show USB 3.0 & speeds of 480 Mbps. shouldn't the speed be 5Gbps for USB 3.0 ?

Your correct but reality is that no one gets anywhere close to those speeds in real life. My actual transfer rate was about 90-110 depending on the file sizes. A respectable speed for an external drive and far faster than USB2.0
