What's great about it: Thin bezel and clear picture
What's not so great: Universal control does not handle one button
I got this to replace a smaller LG model. The LG had an automatic on/off based on signal input. This Samsung does not have such an option - not a great deal, but could be a nice feature. While the remote is fine, I prefer to use a universal remote to control my other devices as well. While my universal control adapted to the Samsung fine, there is one button that it does not emulate. This is a go-back function that is needed in the setup mode. Not a great inconvenience, but it does force me to exit setup and start over after some settings are done.
When muting sound, the sound-off icon stays on screen and is annoying. No way to turn it off that I could find. I wanted to use it to turn off speakers when using headphones. The headphone jack does not turn off the speakers - my LG mode did and I did not like that aspect because I then had to unplug the headphones before using the speakers.
Overall I am pleased with my new larger screen with a great, clear display.

What's great about it: Great display screen
What's not so great: Sound quality
For me, this phone is a great compromise between adequate screen size and small enough to be comfortable. Voice recognition works well. Just be careful what you say when it is on! Now I just need to learn how to use all the features.

What's great about it: Size and speed. Nice and flexible USB 3 cable.
I previously bought a couple of Canvio USB 3 1TB drives with the circle pattern on black. The worked well but the USB cable that came with them was very stiff.
This new drive is a nice blue color and comes with a much thinner and flexible USB 3 cable. Performance is the same as with the earlier drives. I get 60 to 80 MB/sec transfer speeds. The bottleneck is not in this drive!
I do like the rubberized finish on the sides of the older design a bit better, but it is a matter of personal preference. Very nice drive and reasonably priced. I have also tried the Seagate 1TB USB3 drive and returned it because it had some compatibility issues with the e-sata cable, although USB 3 was fine. However, the Seagate is also a bit larger physical size than the Toshiba. I like the Toshiba much better.
This product has... Reliable, Attractive design/portable, Quiet, Large capacity/good size

What's great about it: Fast, compact, USB 3 interface.
What's not so great: Very stiff USB cable.
I got two of these drives on sale at Best Buy because I wanted the USB 3 speed for my backup storage. The drives are small and attractive. They perform well, with transfer speed of 65MB/sec measured by ATTO Bench32. Both drives behaved the same and I had no problems.
One star did get knocked off due to the VERY STIFF USB 3 cable. I had previously tried a Seagate Go Flex drive which I did not like as much, but Seagate did have a very nice, flexible cable. Toshiba, are you listening?

What is the difference between LED,LCD AND PLASMA
I would like to know the difference between LED,LCD and plasma tv
Plasma uses ionized gasses to create the image. The advantage of plasma is low cost and bright image. Disadvantage is that they have a fan to keep it cool and the noise can be annoying.
LCD uses liquid crystal technology for the picture. There is a light behind the LDC panel.
LED is actually an LCD panel which uses white LEDs to produce light behind the panel, but only around the edges. The center part of the so called LED TV is still lit by a light panel just as it is in a standard LCD TV. The LED around the edges tend to make the display brightness more uniform.

Are portable hard drives for laptops only?
You can use them with any computer that has a USB port and can recognize USB hard drives. I use the small size drives for backup of my desktop because they are more convenient to store in a desk drawer - small is beautiful!

3.0 interface
I'm not sure what you mean about 3.0 interface. cause I would like to buy this external hard drive and it say's it have a 3.0 connection. Will this connect to my lap top computer???
USB 2.0 is the most common USB interface today. The USB 3.0 interface is a newer, and much faster way to connect an external drive. USB 2 is limited to 30MB/sec transfer rate, while USB 3 gets about 320MB/sec.
You can benefit from the faster speed only if your computer has a USB 3 port. However, the Toshiba is compatible with USB 2, but will then be limited to 30MB/sec speed.

freezes my computer?
i got this today and i cant get it to work because when ever i plug it in it freezes my computer. eventually my computer starts working again but i cant access the hard drive but i cat safely remove it. please help.
If your computer is a laptop, it is possible that your USB port can't deliver enough power to the drive. Try the drive on another computer to verify that the drive is not bad.

Can I use this instead of my "C" hard drive?
My hard drive on one computer is going and I don"t want to buy a new one. Can this external hard drive be used instead of the internal hard drive?
If your computer supports booting from a USB drive, it is potentially possible to have the external drive as your boot disk. However, this is NOT recommended and will often lead to problems. Replacing a bad internal drive is usually not very difficult, and would be the better path to take.

what is cache buffer and is 8mb better than 12mb or 32mb?
•8MB cache buffer
For increased processing speed.
For increased processing speed.
A hard disk is quite slow compared to the speed of RAM. To improve performance of a hard drive, there is a relatively small amount of RAM included. When the hard disk is accessed, the drive will "remember" the data by placing it in the cache. Next time you need it, the cache RAM will respond which is much faster than actual disk access. So, the more cache you have, the better. In practice, however, there is diminishing returns for cache larger then 8MB. Hope this helps.
