I wish I could have afforded a larger monitor but this one looks great and for the price, the quality can't be beat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Many of the new over-range microwaves don't have the one-button timing feature like my old unit did. I love being able to hit #1 for one minute or #3 for three minutes Other than that it's a microwave...it does what it's supposed to do..

It takes several attempts at programming to get it to react to the way you think. In other words, to make it truly suit your needs. Then once it's done, the touch screen can be accidentally pressed at any time throwing the system out of wack. However, there isn't another remote that is currently being made, that is fairly affordable and can be easily programmable. That's why it gets four stars.

How can you give a comprehensive review after only 2 months use? So far, all the controls work and the dryer works the way it's supposed to. Get back with me in a year....

Or why shouldn't it? It's a Samsung product, it's fairly simple, why shouldn't it work perfectly? This one was priced reasonably as well, I may get another.

one of the things that distinguishes an item as simple as a HDD, can be the software it comes with. The WD software allows you to manage all the external discs on your computer regardless of the manufacturer and it's very well thought out. A drive is a drive but at least WD added something worth while.

Can this Drive be used for more than one computer, one with Windows 7 and another with Windows XP?

I have a Desktop with Windows XP Media Center Edition32 bit and a Laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Can the same External Drive be used for backing up from both these computers?
This unit has a USB 3.0 connection. Make sure your PC can handle a USB 3.0. Chances are your older PC may not take 3.0. You may need to download drivers to your PC

How reliable ?

Many External hard drives from across many different brands, tend to fail over time. how reliable is this HDD ?.. How long is it expected to last. I plan on Using it for my xbox one, and as any gamer would know loss of data is like the plague! As far as it being a AC powered, is it safe to leave plugged in, or can it be unplugged when not in use ? If I am correct the Hard drive has a power button, is it safe to turn the hard drive off when not in use without corruption of data. Also if the power goes out to lets say a power surge protector which the hard drive would be plugged into will the hard drive be ok, and not lose data ? or every time the power shuts off to the house because lets say your normal power outage will the HDD be safe ? or will loss of data or corruption occur ? The struggle with hard drives is if they fail, or become damaged.. data is loss which money can not replace.. and the HDD is not cheap in general!
First, an external HDD is most often used as a back up. So if one drive goes out your data is saved on another drive.
Secondly, it's difficult to give reliability on a new product, but judging by experiences with WD HDDs they are extremely reliable, I have a 500GB that is at least six years old and runs great.

You shouldn't have to worry about unplugging or turning it off. Keeping it on constantly does not draw a lot of power and will not harm the drive. A power surge or lightening strike can ruin anything electrical but a simple power outage shouldn't damage it. You can plug it into a UPS and then the battery backup can help.

Can you watch movies saved to it from the computer if you plug it into a smart tv?

That depends on the format in which the video was recorded and what formats your TV is capable of playing. Sorry, for the vagueness, but that's the reality.
