I picked this up on sale, and installed it into my PS4 Pro. So far it has been excellent! Games seem to install much faster than what I've seen posted online from others. And I haven't noticed any hiccups or drive accessing on the few games I own. Then again, the games are designed with minimal drive access hiccups to begin with. Still this SSD runs much cooler than the standard spinner that was in it, should be much more reliable over the years of use it will gets and provide silent operation as well.

I would recommend this to a friend!

I own a lot of game consoles. That said I also own a PS3 and both Xbox and Xbox 360. For some reason, I've always preferred the way the games play under the Playstation systems. I also tend to prefer the exclusives that are on the Playstation systems over the Xbox systems. So for me the PS4 was always going to be the system I would get between the XB1X and the PS4 Pro I picked up. It just has the games that I'm most likely to want to play.
I've been very happy with thus far with the few games I own for it and also like the feel of the new of dual shock 4 controllers as well.

The video is really quite good as the story and animation is excellent. I was disappointed that Major wasn't in it to speak of. She is, but...well have to watch to understand what I mean.

I got this because I had been wanting to upgrade my video card due to issues with compatibility with my monitor. The 1070 here was on sale and included the free code for a digital copy of Mass Effect Andromeda which, made the overall value that much better. However, while the video card has been excellent thus far, the game has not and has caused many issues trying to play it. Basically due to current patch issues in the game you have to play the game on medium type settings which, shouldn't be needed for the power this card holds!

My wife and I didn't see this in the theaters as we were disappointed by the previous movie 'Awakening'. But when this finally came out we decided to buy it and see. We both quite enjoyed it! The story is a bit everywhere on this one and Kate Beckinsale doesn't quite do as much action as she used to, but the overall movie is has quite a bit more action than the previous film and is just a more fun watch throughout.

First I will just say that I liked Rogue One more than Force Awakens and I didn't initially expect to when I first saw it at the theaters. Having said that, the movie is excellent all the way around. But this particular package option from Best Buy is really the best special edition package being offered at the time of writing this. The steelbook art is unique to this package very well done. There are plenty of extras of course and I really like the fact that the main movie Blu-ray disc doesn't mess around. You put it into your player, choose the language for the menus and then you get the movie's main menu! I really like it when I don't have to sit through 15min of previews for stuff I likely have already seen or even bought. So yes, I think this is preferred version of the movie to get.

This is actually my second Zx sound card. My first card died a tragic death during a recording session to old analog tape. I really like the separate headphone control center for quick volume adjustment. The only real issue I have with this series of the sound cards are the harsh red LEDs. I went ahead and clipped mine to disable them but that does void the warranty of course if you chose to do this. But for solid recording of audio and excellent sound for games, you can't really do much better than these Z series cards from Creative.

Plenty of storage for our digital pictures, music and movies. I like that it is able to be seen by all devices in the house easily including our smart TV to stream files from. I did have to make a few firewall rule changes to allow the drive to be seen on the open internet so our phones could access files from it but this is somewhat expected. It does operate and transfer files much quicker if you connect it via ethernet cable over USB.

It is the right size for most average hands unlike most gaming mice. I really like being able to adjust the DPI setting on the fly with the press of a button as it makes it easier to go lower for graphics work and then much higher resolution on the mouse accuracy for games. It doesn't have but just a few programmable buttons on it, but I honestly wouldn't have used more than this has anyway. The software to control the lighting effects is touchy and didn't work with my windows 10 immediately. I ended up having to create a batch file to kick off the mouse software when windows starts because for some reason, it doesn't seem to want to do it even with the option checked to do so. I also had to set the executable of the mouse software to always run as Admin. Still minor issues aside it has been very solid and does exactly what I need it to do.

First I'm not a huge Amiibo fan as I just don't play many games that utilize them so their functions and extra features they enable in their supported games aren't something I miss by not having them. However, as figurines, they are very well built and much more detailed than I thought they would be. I have this one a few others for display purposes only.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

WD - My Cloud 3TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - White

Will this work with Windows 10 PC?

Seems to work just fine on both mine and my wife's Windows 10 Pro PCs. The software from WD that you download is win10 compatible so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't.

Images for this Question

(click to see full-size image)

While I can't answer specifically for you exact model smart TV, I can tell you that my Sony Bravia sees it on the network and is able to browse the drive contents without issue. I would imaging that any device that can conform to the DNLA standards should be able to see this device on the network and use it.

Seagate - Personal Cloud 3TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - Black

This Seagate Personal Cloud STCR3000101 external USB and Ethernet hard drive features a 3TB capacity, so you can stream, share and manage media and other files whether you're at home or on the go.

XFER files to it on Ethernet, then play thru USB to TV?

I want a drive that I can transfer media files onto from my other computers on the home network and then play them to one of the USB ports on my TV as I'm now doing with USB flash drives.

It should be possible to do something like this. However, any HDD whether it is SSD or mechanical won't normally work out of the box as a USB device. You would need to purchase a separate enclosure to install the SSD into that then provides the USB output you need to attach it to a computer, smart TV, etc.
