I bought this to put a SanDisk SSD in it for a portable drive to backup data and carry software installers. Works well, just wish it had an off/on switch which very few seem to have today.

I purchased this drive to put in an external case and use to load data and program installers on since this setup works better than a standard flash drive. SanDisk has always provided dependable memory products and I have never had any of their devices fail, I end up 'retiring' them.

Large size and on sale which are pluses. USB 2 is obsolete since USB 3 is supported on the majority of recent computers and the speed difference is definately noticeable. But for every day use with many small files it is ideal.

I bought this for use with a UDOO and Raspberry Pi which are miniature programmable computer systems about the size of a pack of cigarettes. They work very well in regular devices that support the speed of this card.

The 840 EVO drives are a good value if you are upgrading a HHD to an SSD in your laptop. The 840 EVO PRO drives offer more speed but at a substantial price increase. I actually bought two of these drives with the intention to put one in an external usb 3.0 case to use to transfer files from pc to pc because they are significantly faster than an HDD. They also work well as the primary drive in a desktop while using a large HDD as a second drive to store data on which is the standard configuration for all my systems.

This provides fast transfers even if the computer only has usb 2.0 ports. However with the availability of Ultimate 3.0 drives that are 2 times faster than this drive, if speed is your primary concern you would be better off with the faster drives. For the price however, this is an excellent drive for general use.

What's great about it: long battery life
What's not so great: finger sensor for right click
I am really impressed with the long battery life and fast recharge time. I have had occurrences of the mouse not detecting a right click at times but not sure why since it always interprets a left click correctly. I really like this mouse and now carry it as the only mouse in my bag or pocket (small is nice).

What's great about it: Bluetooth, connected easily
What's not so great: concerned about the longevity of the 'arc'
I needed a bluetooth mouse and this is all that was available at the time. It connected easily and works well. I am concerned about the life span of the 'arc' since I tend to straighten it (turns it off) and stick it in my pocket a lot, particularly when I take my laptop to work with me. If the arc ever starts failing to 'lock' in place the device would be useless. I much prefer the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Bluetooth mouse.

What's great about it: Size
What's not so great: Doesn't work with all devices
I have tried this on my iPod Touch, Asus Tablets, Nexxus Tablets, Samsung phone, and on other peoples devices. So far it has worked on most but did not work on several LG smart phones that I tried it on. I like the slim style compared to the standard stylus size. The price is in line with other stylus types, though I think all styluses are over priced and you could probably find it cheaper on line. I saw it in the store, liked it, and bought it. Would I stop by and buy another? Yes, simply because it is convenient to do so.

I have Dell Venue 8 pro 64GB is it the best for my TABLET

How is it with Dell Venue 8 pro 64GB Tablet ?
Depends on what you mean by best. The drive provides storage for devices that don't have built in support for usb devices, such as the Nexus 7. Do you need a terabyte of storage? It works like an access point so your wireless connection has to be stopped to connect to the drive. Can't surf and access the drive at the same time. I find this to be very inconvenient. On the other hand you can use it to share information with others during meetings by allowing them to connect to the drive. So, if size, use, and convenience factors are acceptable then it would be a good fit for you. Also you might consider SanDisk Wireless flash drives in 32GB and 64GB. Operation is the same but smaller devices.

Why discount 32 meg flash drive?

Is there a down side to buying more capacity than I need at present?
IOW, I am suspicious why Best Buy is so heavily discounting the 32 meg flash drives.
Most retailers are having good sales on USB 2 devices regardless of their size. Take advantage of the sales. Comparable USB 3 drives are significantly more expensive. If you don't need the speed save your money.
