Solid sequel of sorts

If you enjoy uncharted, this brings back memories. At times I find it a bit too obvious and easy, but the visuals are amazing, as always. I hope they continue this series.

It's not fancy and not particularly well designed either. It hides what's inside the box but doesn't look "expensive" on the outside. I expected more to be honest.

Faster than the seagate equivalent!
on February 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Too bad it lacks an access LED, but this uses WD blue drives inside, which perform much better than the archive level drives used by seagate. I own now 6 of these and they all perform well so far.

Better than the seagate version
on January 30, 2017
Posted by: AlexLA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unlike the seagate version, which uses an archive type drive, this one houses a WD blue, which is a desktop level drive with decent performance. Overall, write speeds on this one are more consistent than what you can get on the seagate 8tb drive, and average access time is also quicker. Overall, this is a much better although drive, especially when you are using it to access data frequently, and not just to offload some backups you likely won't access very often.

Tasty and complex

Unlike most other coffees, this blend is refreshingly different. I wouldn't go as far as calling it my favorite, but I definitely recommend giving it a try, even if only to mix things up on occasion.

Gameplay is awkward at times, but visuals are mostly good. Wouldn't buy it full price but at a discount definitely a welcome distraction

not fast, but so far reliable
on December 30, 2016

It uses an archive drive, so it isn't fast by any means. The WD drive with the same capacity is faster. However, for storing cold data, this is likely going to be more reliable than the WD drive. Time will tell.

Wanted one of those for a while and talked to a friend at our Thanksgiving dinner who said he wouldn't want to go back, so I pulled the trigger when it was on sale (that day). Best veggies and meat one can prepare. Money well spent!

Bring your photography to a new level with the Sony Alpha a6300 mirrorless camera kit. With a 16-50mm lens along with the A6300 body, this kit gives you sharp photos whether you are shooting landscapes or portraits. The 4K video, ISO of up to 51,200 and 350-shot battery life ensures this Sony Alpha A6300 mirrorless camera delivers great images..
 

What is "rolling shutter" and is this a problem with the 4K video of this camera?

I suggest you check youtube for examples on rolling shutter, but to answer your question: this camera has VERY NOTICEABLE and very bad rolling shutter in 4K, far more so that other cameras capable of recording 4k internally, or externally.

Boost your computer's performance with this 480GB SanDisk Ultra II internal solid state drive, which features nCache technology and a SATA III interface. The enhanced battery life and shock resistance provide efficiency and durability.
 

Is this compatible with on a 2010 Macbook Pro 15?

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 15 running Yosemite. I would like to replace the existing drive with this. Will it fit in the bay? Thanks for any advice.
Yes, the 2010 model uses standard 3.5inch drives, so you can simply replace the existing HD with this SSD. If you upgrade to El Capitan, you can also use the TRIM functionality provided by this SSD (recommended!!)

can I run wireless router without going through a computer

wireless routers are standalone. They don't need computers. If you talk about configuring one without a computer (as in setting up), you need to get one that offers a mobile client for smartphones/tablets (assuming you have one of these at hand). Most current Netgear and Asus models offer this functionality.

what size / type of router do i need for a 2800 square foot house 2 floors

want to buy router to work in our 2800 square foot home upstairs and down stairs
Depends on where you place the router, but newer AC-type models work well. I think the ASUS AC1900 is a great buy, and should probably work well (needs AC-capable devices for best performance).

Verizon told me that in order for me to get better reception in my home, I needed to purchase a network extender with a CDMA technology.

can you recommend one and it must have at least 1.3 megabits per second
The Network extender uses your OWN INTERNET CONNECTION at home, so the speed is largely dependent on your internet connection. You can get the appropriate extender from Verizon (or use a third party extender which basically adds an antenna outside your home and uses the cell-towers). That might get you the speed you want, but also means that you still must have a strong tower/signal outside of your home that is capable of delivering you 1.3mbits (which over 3G might be a problem on CDMA).
