I really like this WIFI USB adapter because it is super small. It sits almost entirely flush in the port when inserted so is great as you won't have to worry about knocking it off or breaking it. Performance is good, ON 802.11AC I got close to 900mb connect speed. Highly recommend, its worth the $10 extra vs other adapter to get the slim form factor

This is a solid router, handles all 802.11 protocols, its very fast, has local 4 port gigabit switch and extra strong wifi signal. It was a little over $100 so you really can't go wrong.

Not much to say other than that I appreciate all the denominations that you can get these cards in. This money is going towards buying some Indy goodies for the Switch. I wish they would go on sale sometimes but doesn't usually happen other than around black Friday.

I really like these Ultra Fit drives. I purchased a few 64gb last year and the got this 128gb for #35 on sale recently. Performance is good on them (USB3), especially read speeds which will average close to 100mb/sec on a decent computer. They are about the size of a BT dongle so they sit just about flush in the port and you don't even know they are there. I like using them in game consoles like the PSTV or WiiU.

2K did a really commendable job on bringing their entire game intact to the Switch. It actually runs and looks pretty good and has the entire feature set of the other console's versions. It was rough out of the gate but since all the patches fixed the video/audio issues its a well playing experience. It can regularly be had for under $30 so if you like hoops and want them on the go this is nearly as good as it gets.

This is a nice performing SSD. Got it for $67 on sale and installed it in a brand new laptop. Works as it should and the free Acronis software is pretty decent as it can do both full image backups and also be used to create a book disk/usb and can then do full drive clone of Win10.

This is such a fun game. Rocket powered cars playing soccer in a fast paced arcade game. This game normally sells for $20 digital so it was great that it went on sale for $20 physical and you get some extra DLC content as well. One of the best indy games ever.

Wow....this was on sale for $35. After reading user reviews and also investigating on Reddit I decided to give this little guy a go. Works great. Use it in my arcade and also use it on the go as its much smaller and easier to transport than the N dock. Only thing to be aware of is this dock only has 1, presumably USB2 port. That's OK as there is currently no USB3 support on Switch (yet but official dock has a 3.0 port). This will only be an issue in the future if they start supporting removable USB storage options. Again for $35 super deal and much 'safer' than the Nyko dock.

What speed are you able to get with this through a USB 2.0 port? USB 2.0 is rated up to 480 mbps, but usually you don't get this level of throughput due to a variety of factors.
Not sure as I used it on USB3 which is does support on USB3 with a decent newer WIFI router I was able to connect 802.11AC @ 896mb. So it was zippy. USB2 actual throughput is about 1/2 of what is specified so you will likely get about 240mb/sec via USB2

Will the router handle fire stick Or roku?
I wouldn't see why not. They should be operating on standard wifi this router supports 802.11ABCN which is about every standard. The wifi bandwidth on the router is great so should be no problem streaming HD or even multiple HD as long as your internet speed is fast.

How hard is the OPEN button to push? How noisy is the door when closing it? Is the light bulb situated so we can change it ?(GE's you need a technician to replace theirs)
On the Black-Stainless model (which really only has stainless on the edge trim) the button works quite nicely. Easy to push. I noticed on just the straight black version the button was not as smooth. The door seems to close quietly and smoothly. Overall I was quite impressed with the build quality of what is otherwise an inexpensive unit. The light is decent and comes on when opening the door (some unit do not). Not sure what has to be done to change it.

Seagate - 1TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops
Ideal for use with desktop performance towers, all-in-one computers, consumer-grade NAS devices or desktop RAID arrays, this Seagate internal hard drive features a 1TB capacity, so you can store plenty of digital files.
Would this fit in my HD bay on my 2008 intel imac?
Just wanted to know for sure if this would fit. My previous HD dimensions were 3.5 x 1 . This product is 4 x .5 .
It will fit 3.5 x 1 is the form factor and 4x5 must be the actual inches of the external case if it is a 3.5 inch hard drive bay this should fit.

Warantee discrepancy
Website says 5 years, inside the box it says 2 years... what's the deal?
Seagate only does 5 years on server line HDs which generally cost more. 2 years is still pretty generous as most other manufactures have gone to 1 year on desktop hard drives.

dell dimension 8400
will this hard drive be compatible...i am already upgrading my memory to 4gb...thanx
As long as your computer/mother board supports SATA (Serial ATA HD) it should support this drive. All newer SATA drives work with older SATA standards so even if you have a stat 1.5gb controller it will work fine with newer SATA 3 or 6 drives. Sometimes older BIOSes will only support 2TB but you should be fine as this is a 1TB drive. If you have the older IDE connecter (a wide flat ribbon cable) then you will need a PATA drive which you may have to order online as they are getting pretty rare at the stores.
