Insignia - DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Black

Works very well

Many desktop pcs these days have one HDMI connector, and one or more Display Port
connectors. This simple adapter permits one to convert a Display Port connector to an additional HDMI connector. This particular adapter is economical, and does a good job. I have purchased several, to use with my three towers. I recommend it highly.

I am digitizing and archiving thousands of precious family photos spanning close to 100 years. The safest, most durable, and longest lived media for storing digital media is presently the M-DISC. This particular drive can write to 100 GB M-DISC, allowing one
to conveniently write large directories in one pass. It also allows multiple copies to be made and sent to other family members. At present I have purchased two of these drives, and plan to purchase more in the near future. I recommend this particular drive most highly.

This portable DVD writer works very well. I use it primarily to safely archive photos while travelling, and for long term storage at home. Its ability to write to M-DISC provides copies that will safely last over 50 years - far greater than any other technology presently available. For such long term planning, I have purchased three of these units. There are fewer and fewer manufacturers of good drives of this type. I highly recommend this particular model.

This is a very good back-up system for a mid-sized gaming pc. My system has a 750W power supply powering a 14th gen i5 processor with a RTX 5060 graphics card, four
m.2 NVMes, two internal hard drives, and two internal SSDs. My monitor is a 27inch,
4K, up to 120Hz display. I use my system primarily for photo editing, and occasionally
racing games (Forza Horizon 4 and 5). I tested the back-up system by doing a fast cut off of the line power using a power strip with a fast switch. Both the monitor and pc continued without even a flicker, and continued running for 10 minutes, when I powered both down. I have been using the setup for 6 months, and have had no issues. This back-up system is very economical and serves my system extremely well. I recommend it highly.

I purchased four of these cables to use with external solid state drives. They have worked very well. I have only observed 10Gbps with my drives, because that is the maximum they will go - I have yet to get an external drive that is rated at 20Gbps. The cables feel solid and well made. They were a good buy.

Is this product renewed?
This tablet just came out in summer 2021. It is a new product. You might be able to get it as an "open box" item, but as far as I know, it is not available from Best Buy as renewed.
