Just so you know, the Thunderbolt port on newer computers supports sound and video. Hence, plug this cable into your, say, laptop's Thunderbolt port, and the HDMI end into your TV and you have sound and video.

We've used this laptop now for about 6 weeks. It is lightening fast. It is also nice and small. The CNC machined aluminum case is way cool. The Thunderbolt port is a WOW! Case you don't know the Thunderbolt port supports sound and video. Get a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable and you can plug this computer into any TV. It also has one extra USB-C port. The battery life is fantastic AND it charges up quickly. Finally: if you are a bit of a novice to setting up an new computer fear not this machine. On first boot up an HP video automatically pops up and guides you thru the immediate process of signing into your router (and beyond). This video is brilliantly designed to guide you and it hangs with you till you are done and happy. I've been using computers since 1985. I know a superb Windows 10 laptop when I see one and this HP Spectre x360 13.3 inch unit is super!!!

I've used these "WD" USB plugin external hard drives for sometime now. They are 100% digital, hence they run off the low voltage power that feeds directly from the USB port connection. NO unnecessary long cumbersome electric cords needed. This unit is also a USB 3.0 drive, hence, very fast. I highly recommend this product.

I'm a musician so I am picky about the quality of my music listening experience. I play my converted .mp3 files (via Windows 10 with the bit rate set to the highest setting on conversion of each recording, i.e. CD quality) off my Android smart phone to my new Altec Lansing RockBox XL bluetooth unit. The sound from this RockBox XL is FANTASTIC. The sound is balanced beautifully with a good bass, excellent mid-range and highs. The battery on this RockBox XL is EXCELLENT! It last hours upon hours. Plus there is a charging USB port to plug a weak smart phone into for charging. Another cool feature: then you adjust the volume on the RockBox XL it reverse talks to your phone and lowers the volume there too, and vice versa. Two final things: 1. this unit is heavy (which means some powerful sound producing magnets in the speakers); 2. It sounds best sitting on a hard surface (the woofer vents are on the bottom of the speaker). I LOVE THIS ROCKBOX XL. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. TRUE LOVE.

I'll get to the most significant point I can make for inkjet printing. Our old HP 7520 ink cost us a lot and had issues utilizing all the ink in various cartridges. So for me any new inkjet printer had to be less expensive to operate. The HP 7855 inkjet we bought wins that battle hands down. We signed up for the automatic ink replacement from HP and already received our first set of 2 cartridges (1 black, 1 tri-color). And they arrived slightly before the tri-color needed to be replaced first. I'm impressed! We signed up for 100 pages a month with ink mailed to us automatically (which HP monitors online). It cost us $5 a month. Translated to 4 by 6 color photo printing that makes each print cost 5 cents for the ink alone. AND, this HP printer, like those in the past, will print to any brand of photo paper (unlike another printer that shall go nameless). I'm thankfully amazed at the $$ we'll save on ink alone. HP has hit a home run with this printer and with the special ink replacement program. They do require you to mail back old empty cartridges. They included a postage free plastic envelope that you mail back the empties when the envelope is full. Life is good and my frustration with costly inkjet printing is FINALLY history. Thank-you HP!!!

HP - 16GB v150w USB 2.0 Flash Drive 10-Pack
The HP v150w USB 2.0 Flash Drive is the essential solution for storing and sharing digital content for home and school. Durable and light-weight, it delivers the perfect combination of storage and convenience. The sliding collar, and cap-less design protects your important content when not in use, and the included key loop easily attaches to key chains, so important files are never out of reach. The v150w USB 2.0 Flash Drive is compatible with USB 2.0 equipped PC and Mac laptop and desktop computers, and compatible with USB 3.0 host devices at standard USB 2.0 speeds. With the HP v150w, you can be rest assured you are purchasing a high quality product from a trusted brand, that resonates with all generations.
 

Can I use it for photos & videos?

Photos are definitely storable on any Flash drive. I recomment USB 2.0 or 3.0 USB flash drives.

Videos are another story. Generally videos are huge files in data size and moving videos to any USB 2.0, and even USB 3.0 sticks are a slow and laborious process. Plus, videos won't really play well from the Flash drive. So NO, I do not recommend putting videos on any USB flash drive sticks.

Can this work with a CANON Powershot camera PC 1249 and SD870 IS - purchased about 2010?? I have a 2 GB card in it.

The Cannon Powershot PC1249 is an older camera and Canon no longer provides an online user guide for this particular camera. Canon does still provide a user guide for the newer Powershot SD870. Both of these cameras take the same battery. To answer your question, the SD870 supports a micro SD card up to 32 gig. Now in my own thinking, and I have Canon cameras, I am quite confident to say that the older PC1249 will also utilize the 32 gig micro SD card you are asking about. I highly suspect when the PC1249 was new it likely used a 2 gig micro SD card. which was the common size back then. Newer 8 gig, 16 gig, 32 gig, and larger micro SD cards are relatively new products. Still the prices have plummeted to the point where a 32 gig micro SD card is pretty inexpensive. You can get the 32 gig micro SD card for both cameras. Even if the bios chip on the PC1249 supports only a smaller micro SD card, it'll use as much memory on the 32 gig card as allowed by the camera bios chip anyway. And you have the benefit of having a fairly fast read and write speed with the newer 32 gig micro SD card you are considering. Meaning when you take pictures they will be saved much faster so you can take second shots. Your old 2 gig micro SD card was pretty slow for sure.

No. This WD digital disk has to be formatted on a Windows computer for you to access it. ps4 is NOT compatible with the Windows operating system.

Is this compatible with a J3 Orbit Samsung phone?

Ah ha! great question. Many people don't know but the Android operating system uses the old DOS and early Windows FAT16 file allocation table for its files. FAT 16 is history in Windows they now use the NTFS file system. Hence you can still plug any Android phone into of Windows computer USB port and transfer files from your phone to a Windows computer. Windows still accept and reads FAT16 files. I do it all the time. Here's the problem with your desired goal. The USB cable that comes with this WD digital drive will NOT be compatible with your Samsung USB port. So No it won't work. And don't waste time trying to get a USB adapter. There are none.

Is using this solely for the purpose of "videos" mean I have a problem?

Mike, No. You do not have a problem. You can easily copy videos to this WD device (these "drives" are fast particularly with USB 2 and 3 ports). And it works with the old school USB 1 port too. Videos take up a lot of space so this device is perfect. And this device comes formatted and ready to go for Windows computers.

How you power this HD ?

Nick... All you do is plug this WD digital drive into your computer USB port. It transfers data via the USB cable AND it uses the low voltage current in the computers USB port to power this device. Since there are no moving parts it needs very little current.

Can this DVD player be set to "loop" so the DVD will start over & continuously play over & over?

Yes, there is a little button on the remote controller that will loop back to the beginning when it gets to the end. This makes sense for say music CDs, particularly.
