This briefcase is great for travel. It is nicely padded. It has sturdy handles and a sturdy shoulder strap. It easily holds my 14" laptop and my 12.7" tablet, with room for

This drive is excellent for travel storage. It is very small -
only a few times larger than a jump drive. It is very
rugged, and well protected from the elements - making
it great for the outdoors. I have the 1TB model, which
comes already formatted as exFAT and ready for use
for both Android and Windows. I am using it to store
a lot of movies in mp4 ranging in size from 3GB to 30GB.
I uploaded them through a USB 3.0 port on my tower.
The speed is good, as can be seen in the test results
below. The drive did get warm while putting almost
900GB onto the drive, but never exceeded 45deg C.
It did this big job without a hitch!

Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack [12 Discs] [DVD]
This 12-disc set contains 50 classic horror films including White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney Sr., Bluebeard with John Carradine, Nosferatu, The Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and many more. The technical quality of the discs are underwhelming, but this set is certainly a case of quantity over quality.

mystery movies and consider it a good value. I
recommend its purchase if you like this content.
However, the collection does have a few issues.
First of all, the picture of the box on the product
description web page shows the "Anniversary
Edition", with that label on the bottom of the box.
I did not receive that edition, as can be seen in the
attached photo of my box. To be fair, careful
examination of the printed description of the
product never says "Anniversary Edition". I
deducted half a star for this error.

deducted half a star for this error.
Second, there is no document in the box that
catalogs the contents of each of the 12
double-sided dvds. The listing on the back of
the box does not provide that information.
The purchaser of the collection has to carefully
examine the printing on the narrow band around
the hole of each dvd to see what is on that side
of the dvd. The marketer of this collection could have
easily and cheaply provided that information on a
single sheet of paper! For this omission I deducted
another half star.

I deducted a full star for the poor packaging of the
disks themselves. There are 12 double-sided dvds
in the set. They are placed into 6 stiff cardboard
holders, with a disk on each side. Half of each disk
is exposed in these holders, and when placed in the
box is in physical contact with a disk in the adjacent
holder. As a result, the disks are in danger of getting
scratched. I think it would have been cheaper and
safer to have a proper dvd envelope for each disk.

Some other observations are worthy of note.
The printing on the narrow band around the
hole of the dvd is clear and looks long lasting.
The dvds have a simple but functional menu
system. They typically have only a few (typically
4) chapters set up for each film. There are
typically 2 films on each side of the dvds.

It is hard to find physical media for these films,

Step into the role of a Jedi Padawan who narrowly escaped the purge of Order 66. Engage in innovative lightsaber and Force combat on a galaxy-spanning adventure as you stay one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors. Continue your training, explore the mysteries of the Force and become the Jedi you were meant to be. This bundle includes an Xbox One X, an Xbox Wireless Controller, a full-game download of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition, a 1-Month Xbox Live Gold subscription, a 1-Month Xbox Game Pass for Console trial, and 1-Month of EA Access.* Whether you’re playing games, watching 4K movies, or streaming gameplay, there's never been a better time to game with Xbox One.
How long does it take to download the game provided with this bundle for a typical household (one with download speed capped at about 10Mbps)?
I did some looking up on the web and found that a speed of 10 Mbps corresponds to 4.5 GB/hr. So a 45GB download takes 45GB / 4.5 GB/hr = 10 hr. This of course assumes that the download speed remains fixed at 10 Mbps.

What fraction of a major game is included on a physical disk? Is installation aided significantly by having a physical disk?
I just learned that you can get this information in the "Queue" screen, where it details the size of the content from the Disk, and the size of the content from the Network (what has to be downloaded over the internet). What has to be downloaded over the internet does indeed vary from title to title, but significant gains can be obtained by using physical media for those of us with relatively modest internet speeds. I just installed "The Witcher 3 - Complete Edition", and all the content came from the disk - and the install was completed in less than a half hour! To me this is a compelling reason (and happy news) to use physical disks!
