This is an excellent drive, and I got it on sale for an

USB 2.0 is perfectly fine. I recommend them.

This monitor is excellent for editing photos and slides.
It has incredibly accurate color rendition right out
of the box. It has an aspect ratio of 16:10, which is
better for processing my photos and slides than the
usual 16:9 aspect ratio. The 24 inch screen is perfect
for my work. Its 1920X1200 resolution is well matched
to my work needs. To top it all off it provides a built in
4 port usb hub, as well as a stand that has a remarkable
degree of positioning capability.
I strongly recommend this monitor to those editting
photos and slides.

I do regular image backups of my workstation,
that has four NVMe m.2 drives . For this I need
large capacity, external, hard drives. This 20TB drive
is well suited for the task. Its only shortcoming is
that it heats up to more than 50deg C during the
long backup time, if left to its own devices. I have
fixed this issue by positioning a pair of 80mm fans
beneath it, to force cool air into its housing (see photo).
The drive also performs well for a hard drive, as can
be seen in the results of a Crystal Disk Mark speed
test. The temperature at the start of the test was
24 deg C. At the end of the test it was 33 deg C, and
dropped to 25 deg C just 3 minutes after the end
of the test. The fans are very effective.
I use two separate external hard drives for my backups,
alternating between each one. This is good enough for
my needs.
I recommend this drive to anyone needing a simple,
cost effective way to do large backups.

This chair fills my needs as a tall (6 ft 1 in) and somewhat
heavy (260 lb) individual. It is also comfortable and
classy looking.
The chair itself is heavy (57 lb) and arrives in a fairly
massive box (62 lb). The box arrived showing some
wear (photos), which is to be expected for one of
its weight and size. However, the contents were
very well packed and in excellent condition.
I recommend that assembly be done on a large, clear
area of floor - and that an old sheet be spread over that
surface to protect the chair during assembly. I carefully
unpacked the pieces, and checked against the list of
pieces. Everything was there, including the only tool
needed for assembly and a pair of very nice white
gloves to protect the very nice finish of the chair.
I very carefully read the instructions included, but
found the video showing assembly to be more helpful.
Working by myself and proceeding very carefully, it
took me about 90 minutes to do the unpacking, repeated
viewing of the installation video, and assembly. The
finished chair looks very nice.
To date my main activity making use of the chair is
digitizing and editting old family slides. I keep the
back of the chair upright, and find it quite comfortable for
my long editting sessions.
My one criticism of the chair is that the arm rests do not
appear to be very sturdy - but this does not impact me
as I rarely use them while doing my work on the computer.
I would not hesitate to recommend this chair.

I got an incredible price for this as a Deal of the Day.
The first sign of a problem was when I hooked it up
to my computer with the provided usb cable. It appeared
to be charging, but the gamepad was not seen by my
computer. I turned on bluetooth and it was seen. I made
repeated attempts to play Forza Horizon 4 - but it would
disconnect in just a few seconds.
After digging through many user reviews I found several
users with the same problem, that was solved by
updating the firmware of the gamepad. I found the
website with the updates, and making the update was
actually pretty easy.
With that done I was able to play Forza Horizon 4 using
bluetooth without disconnecting.
I then tried playing using a usb cable, but one that
I had on hand and knew was good. This time the
gamepad immediately connected with my computer,
which properly identified the gamepad.
I have deducted one star for the bluetooth connection
problem. It would have been helpful if a card had been
provided mentioning a possible need to update the
firmware, and pointing to instructions on how to do it.
I deducted another star for what appears to be a defective usb cable. Luckily I had one of my own on
hand.
I recommend this gamepad if you can get a considerable
discount on it.

I purchased my first gaming pc over two months ago,
and needed a sine wave battery backup system to
protect my investment. This new pc uses a 850W
power supply, and can draw as much as 600W at times.
This ups provides the protection my new pc needs.
I have had no issues with it. It has been a good purchase.

Is this a good ereader

This is an excellent tablet, but may prove awkward to use as an ereader for extended periods of time. It is overly large for that purpose, has an awkward aspect ratio for that purpose, and is somewhat heavy. I have found that the Samsung Tab A7 Lite to be far more serviceable as an ereader - it is about the size and proportions of a paperback novel, and can be easily held in one hand for extended periods of time. I have both the Tab S6 Lite and the Tab A7 Lite, and am doing all my book reading with the Tab A7 Lite.

Im planning to buy these tablet to send it to the phillippines. Wer using 220volts in the phils. Here in USA we use 110 volts.

The charging plug provided is "Universal" - it works for 100-240volts, 50-60Hz. So it will work almost anywhere. However, you may need to get a simple adapter to use it with your outlets (convert the 2-prong US plug to the one you need). These can be obtained for around $10.

I know VERY little about tablets etc. I am looking for something that is light and about the size of a standard book page that I can basically read books on. Recomendations?

This tablet has a size and proportions almost the same as a paperback novel. It is light and easy to hold in one hand. I replaced my dead nook with it, and it works very well for reading my many ebooks. Unlike my dead nook, this is also capable of doing a great many other things: browsing the web, reading email, make video calls, watch YouTube videos, listen to audiobooks, .... I would recommend it for your purposes.

Will you be able to upgrade the os to Android 12?

This tablet just came out in 2021 with Android 11 installed, and Samsung is promising 3 upgrades of the operating system. I suspect an upgrade to Android 12 by summer 2022.

can you load and run apps on the sd card

Unfortunately, the answer is no. But with the 64GB model, only 18GB are occupied by the system. So you have ~46GB of storage for apps. But it would be wise to get an sd card to store photos, videos, audio, etc. I would recommend at least a 64GB micro sd card.

I need a tablet with a web cam. Do any of best buys tablets have web cams? If so, which ones?

This has a front facing camera that functions well as a web cam. I use it with Skype to make video calls. It also has a rear facing camera that works well.
