I purchased this cable explicitly for it's high speed,
and it did not disappoint me. I use it when copying
large files to and from my high speed external solid
state drives. I also use it to copy large size photos
and videos from my Galaxy S22 phone, which has a
high speed USB C port. The cable is very well made.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The phone was delivered quickly in just three days after
it was ordered. It was delivered in a small, heavy-duty
cardboard box. When I picked up the box I could hear
something moving inside. Upon opening the box I
immediately saw that the phone was not packed very
well. The phone itself was in a thin plastic bag, and
secured to the bottom of the box by a tight band of thin
plastic. There was no foam cushion on either side of the
phone. Placed on top of the phone was a box containing
a charging cable. This box was free to move about. There
was also a wall charger in a thin plastic bag that was also
free to move about. These items should, at a minimum,
have been isolated from the phone by bubble wrap. I
expected more care for a phone that cost $450. This
careless packing cost me a week of carefully testing the
phone - something most customers would not do.
I first performed a careful visual inspection of the phone.
The screen looked like new - it was free of any
imperfections. The back of the phone had a few minor
blemishes, but nothing else. I found a small scuff mark
on two of the corners of the surrounding aluminum
band, that are invisible with a case.
I ran all the Samsung diagnostics multiple times,
and the phone passed them all. I found an app to
help me find dead pixels and residual images on the screen - none were found. The display screen was
like new. The battery was also like new. I have been
using the phone now for almost four weeks, and can get
almost three days usage out of one full charge - although
my usage is relatively light.
All three cameras work very well, and the lenses look
like new. They experienced no damage from the careless packing - but I was probably lucky. A photo of the
base of my Christmas tree with the main lens is very
sharp and clear. The small blur in the upper left corner
was from my finger! Photos with the other lenses were
also excellent.
I am very happy with this phone. However, I am afraid I
can not recommend it to a friend. The careless way it
was packaged could have damaged the phone. I think it
would have been safer to not include the charging block
and the box with the charging cable, if such flimsy
packing is continued. In any event, the phone should be
cushioned on all sides by foam. It is, after all, a $450
device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This replaces my older model, and is almost 3

promises to do even better.

My first attempt to upgrade the RAM of my older desktop
computer resulted in it not even posting. After a lot of
detective work I learned that my computer did not
support XMP profiles, only JEDEC profiles. I found
that Crucial memory provides what may be the best
support for JEDEC profiles available. My computer
booted immediately with this memory kit and gave the
maximum possible speed for my Intel Core i5 Gen 8
processor - 2666 MHz ! Using the utility CPU-Z I found
that Crucial provides matching JEDEC profiles for
every XMP profile, and that these cover all possibilities
permitted for 8th through 11th generation Intel CPUs.
This memory kit should be your first choice when
upgrading older computers with such CPUs. I highly
recommend it.

This is my first racing wheel setup, and it is an enormous
step up from a gaming controller! I use it with Forza

in front of my large screen TV that is connected to my

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.)
