This is a nice light, but that has one issue.
The so called "on button", is not really a button. It is a
contact point. The light turns on when it and part of the
metallic housing are touched simultaneously. Your body
completes the circuit, and the light comes on. When the
circuit is broken, the light goes out, but only after several
seconds.

The problem that arises is that most people will have this
light in a pocket. Every time the hand enters the pocket
there is a good chance the light will be turned on.
This will shorten the life of the battery.

This will shorten the life of the battery.
I have created a simple way to avoid this by putting a
small piece of tape over the "button" to shield it from
my fingers (see picture). It is simple, and works.

This is a great drive - a huge amount of storage and fast!
However, if you are writing large amounts to it, you may
need to get a fan. Let me relate to you my experience.
However, if you are writing large amounts to it, you may
need to get a fan. Let me relate to you my experience.
When I first got the drive, I set it up to do a full scan of
the drive. I did a CrystalDiskInfo before I started (see
the picture), and the disk temperature was 31deg C.
The scan took 5 hours. At the end of the scan the disk
temperature had risen to 50deg C (see the picture). After
completing the scan I watched to see how the temperature dropped. After 3 hours it had fallen to
45deg C. The passive cooling acts very slowly, despite
the large number of slots in the bottom, top, and back
of the drive housing.

of the drive housing.
Next I obtained a dual fan, and set one at the back to
push cool air into the drive. I put the second on top of
the drive to pull hot air out of the drive. I then wrote files to the drive for 3 hours. The starting temperature of the
drive was 30deg C. The temperature at the end of the
3 hours of copying files was just 33 deg (see picture)! I think this shows the effectiveness of having external fans.

I use this drive to archive material on my desktop computer at regular intervals. Large amounts are written
to the drive, and I need the fans to maintain the health
of the drive. I suspect that others using this drive will
be doing something similar, and would benefit by adding
fans.

The secret of this blend's relaxed complexity is the rich, hearty Indonesian bean. It has woodsy, spicy notes that balance the bright acidity and lively fruit tones of Central and South American varieties.

These single-serve K-Cup pods are compatible with all Keurig K-Cup Pod Single-Serve Coffee Makers.

BlueParrott's best selling headset just got better. The new BlueParrott B450-XT is the latest wireless bluetooth trucking headset designed to help you while on the go.

You can talk on the headset up to 24 hours before you need to recharge the device. Charging is now a breeze using the included USB-C cable. You now have the capability to roam up to 300 feet when connected wirelessly to a class 1 device such as a smart phone. You also get additional features such as voice control to answer and reject calls using just your voice and you get a customizable BlueParrott button that can be programmed to quickly mute a conversation, speed dial a number, and more. Also, the headset is now built to last with an IP54 rating meaning it's dust and water resistant. Lastly, the headset software is updateable meaning you can plug it directly to a computer or pair it with smartphone running the BlueParrott updater program and you will be able to update the firmware on the headset. This way, it will always maintain it's great performance regardless over time.

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?
I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?
I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
