I have used WD drives for backup purposes for 30 years, and never had a problem. I find them to be 100% reliable. I am always on the lookout for a sale on these beauties, and snatch some up on a regular basis. This unit had an exceptional price during the Black Friday sale.

I have used WD drives for over 40 years, both internal and external, and they have never failed me. I got this drive as a second disk for my new computer. I plan to install Linux on it, and configure the machine to dual boot. I chose this particular drive for its speed - 7200rpm. I know it will work in the configuration I plan, as I have done it before. I got it at a very good price during the Black Friday sale.

I have wanted this unit for some time, and was finally able to get it at an excellent price during the Black Friday sale. It provides excellent backup for my new PC and new monitor, and their external drives. My equipment has relatively low power draw, and I get almost an hour of run time when losing power, which is more than sufficient to backup crucial files, and power everything down safely.

This monitor is my first 4K monitor, and it gives me absolutely stunning images. I am using it with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop elements., and it is well paired with them. I thought I might be overwhelmed by the size of the screen, coming from a 15" screen on a laptop - but I very quickly got accustomed to it, and find myself doing all my editing using my new monitor.

This machine is impressive. It is very well made - with a very pleasing exterior, and a very clean and well laid out interior. It provides more features at this price point than you can find elsewhere. For example - it gives two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and a USB C port on the front! The engineering is well thought out. For example, the memory is two paired 4GB sticks, to optimize throughput. The machine is snappy and does the jobs it was designed for very well. One thing to take note of is that the machine is not designed for high end gaming, and really can't be upgraded to do so - it has a 180W interior power supply and a proprietary motherboard. But it does all the tasks characteristic of a home pc very well, and somewhat beyond. I am doing photo editing using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, and they work very well. I have paired the PC with a 28" Samsung 4K monitor, and the images are stunning. For the price, you won't find a better machine anywhere.

Its 1TB capacity lets you store plenty of games without an external hard drive, and the dual-shock controller improves your hands-on gaming experience. See enemies in clear, vibrant detail with the included HDMI cable of the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro console.
Will new ps4 pro consoles ever be back in stock? I worry that the fall debut of the new ps5 may spell the end of production for the ps4 pro.

hello, is the power brick 110 up to 240v?

says it accepts input of 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 0.6A max.
It has a standard US 2-prong blades. It is international capable, but you need to provide the adapter needed for the country you use it in.

I purchased this, but cant find the power button to turn it off. I hate to leave it plugged in all the time when it's not in use most of the time. Is there a power button on it? If not, then do i have to physically unplug when it's not in use?
The WD Easystore external drives do not have a power button to turn the unit off and on, A possible solution would be to plug the power brick in to a power strip with a switch.
(I think that another version of this drive sold by other retailers - the WD Elements external drive - does have a power button on the back. However, this button looks to be an electronic switch. So even that drive will remain connected to power when turned off with the switch.)

Is this lamp cordless? Looking for one to use where it operates on some sort of battery as I don't have outlets nearby.
The lamp is not cordless. It has a proprietary cable that that goes to a transformer that has to be plugged into a standard wall outlet.

Is this lamp pretty stable? Or does it fall over easily? The base looks pretty small in the photos.
The lamp is very stable. The base is 5" X 7". In addition it has heft (must have weights in it). I have bumped it on occasion, and it remains upright and stable.
