Perfect for Your SSD Upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
There isn't really much to say about the characteristics of the SSD mount but it installed easily with my SSD and clicked right into place with the drive mounting system in my computer. Convenient to be able to buy this where I got my SSD.

Outstanding Upgrade For Your Computer!
on July 1, 2018
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this drive to upgrade the spinning HD in my pre-built gaming PC. Couldn't have been easier. Used an external HD enclosure to flash over the contents of the original drive using the Samsung software that you can download from their website for free. Once that was done, I pulled the old drive, attached the SSD cradle for this drive since it was a full sized bay, hooked up the SATA III cable and the power and booted her back up and it worked like a charm. If you are going to put this in another bay, you will need to check to see what cables are already there and ready to go (in most pre-builts it will have power but not the SATA cable). SATA cables are pretty cheap and easy to find/order.
I have been running a ton of games off of this drive and it has performed beautifully. This is one of Samsung's top of the line SSDs and it acts like it. You will not be disappointed.

Does What It Is Designed To Do
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works brilliantly with my new laptop that does not have either VGA or HDMI outputs (keeps it nice and thin but doesn't help much when you are road-warrioring it). I didn't get to really test it out prior to the first time I really needed it but I plugged it in and then hooked in the HDMI cable from the projector on site and it worked just as it should. My only complaint is that these dongles are a tad pricey, though for the most part this one should take care of me.

Easy to Set-Up & Use. Turns a Dumb TV Smart!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this to add some functionality to an older LCD TV we have in the office. Great that it lets us cast images, slides, documents to the screen for meetings and also gives us something to watch when we are bored. Incredibly easy to set up and we were up and running within minutes of plugging it in.

Devices Like THIS Will Make VR Boom!
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have done several iterations of VR, from the desktop versions (Rift and Vive), the Samsung VR, Google Cardboard, and one of those cheap headsets for cellphones that you can buy anywhere now. I've been dying for this to take off since I first experienced VR back in the early 90's when I was in college and tried out a unit with the massive helmet and a ringed stand to keep you in place.
All the PC units are great if you: want to spend a ton of money on a computer powerful enough to run VR and the VR system. The cell phone based ones pretty much stink all around. While some are better than others they always have issues that make them pretty unusable in the long term. The Oculus go, has all the equipment built in, a stable operating system, a pretty good store with some great apps, a comfortable headset, and all at a pretty good price.
I have to say that I'm a nerd and have just been having fun doing the apps that take you to places that I would probably never go (the wilds of Argentina, Egypt, or some far flung museum) or never could go (the app that lets you zoom through a human body or around a stellar nursery). It has been worth the price of admission just to do those apps, and I find that I'm finding more and more things to do with the headset unlike some of the others.
I don't get motion sick, and have only had one app make me feel even remotely 'blah' and that was one of the roller-coaster apps that wasn't all that much fun in the first place. Everything else has been pretty solid. I like how the app store will tell you the 'comfort' level of an app and whether it might make a sensitive person nauseous.
The only drawback that I have found with this is that I am getting to the point where I need reading glasses (which is a bummer in its own right) but it has made a few instances a bit blurrier than they could be. Now this unit lets you purchase inserts to counter this but perhaps an actual focus knob could have helped. Granted, this may have caused issues with the optics in other ways (peripheral view, chromatic aberrations, etc.), but I'm not sure I want to plunk down more money on lenses that a corrected for me. That being said, they are charging a relatively reasonable price for them.
All in all, I am extremely happy with where things are going with VR and with the Oculus Go in particular. I would definitely get the 64gb version because some of these apps and videos can take up quite a bit of space. There is word that they will soon allow you to use a usb drive with a micro-usb plug to add on some storage, but if you are really hurting for space you can link up a DropBox account for some cloud storage. I wish they would add some other types of cloud storage because I have a boatload of space on one of the other providers.
Been having a ton of fun with this device and I can't wait for the next version.

Conduct academic research with this 14-inch HP Chromebook. Its Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of DDR4 RAM let you run multiple browser tabs at once without performance lag, and the 32GB of flash storage provides quick access to files. This HP Chromebook lasts up to 10.75 hours on a single charge, so you can work untethered.

Very Nice When It Worked
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is going to be a short and sweet review. The HP was a nice, stylish, light, and eminently usable Chromebook... when it worked. Unfortunately, it didn't work all too often. I have no idea if it was just a faulty unit or what but it would shut down and lose all of the settings while in the middle of doing something. It was doing almost a full reset multiple times a day. Needless to say, it went back to the store and I purchased another Chromebook which has worked beautifully. It is a nice system if you can get a stable one.

Cool Little Drone!
on September 5, 2017
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had been waiting on a quality drone, that didn't cost and arm and a leg, that also had some decent flight time. The Spark meets all those criteria and more. While I would love to have the Mavic Pro, I just couldn't justify the price for what I wanted to use it for, mainly some quick flight jaunts to maybe get some interesting footage or shots while out and about.
The Spark is insanely easy to set up and just as easy to fly. Though, to be fair, the hand gesture thing is a bit more of a gimmick than an actual flight model. It works well for taking selfies and wowing people but for maximum flight ability you of course need to use the remote. After downloading the app onto my iPhone 7+, I updated the firmware, and was flying within minutes. That being said, I would HIGHLY recommend buying an OTG (On The Go) cable and hardwiring it to your controller rather than just relying on the wi-fi set-up. Since I have done that, there has not been a single dropped frame or any control issues. You can find one online or in stores for less than $4 usually and you already have the cable for your phone, though I also bought a short Lightning cable to keep things from tangling up.
Video and photo quality is stellar and it is incredibly easy to set up some neat shots. It also has a ton of safety features to keep you from doing something stupid with it and harming you, a loved one, or the drone. My only quibble with it so far is that I guess I'm within the flight path of the local airfield and it limits some of my maneuvering window, but that is easily solved by taking it elsewhere to fly. This drone is heavy enough to warrant FAA registration but that was done in 5 minutes and only cost $5.
If you aren't planning on doing serious photo/videography with your drone and don't need super long flight times to get where you want to shoot, this is the drone for you. A lot of fun and really easy to use.

Best iPad Iteration Yet!
on August 18, 2017
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having owned every generation of iPad either myself or through my wife, I can honestly say that THIS is the iPad we have all been waiting for. You wouldn't think such a relatively small change in its form factor and screen would make that much of a difference but it does. Also, the new chipset is incredibly powerful and runs everything butter smooth. If you have any previous version of iPad, even the latest (as we did), this is a worthy upgrade.

Big BOOMY Sound, Not My Taste.
on August 18, 2017
Posted by: Wraith
from Rochester Hills, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really wanted to like these headphones. The reviews of them were solid and I love the look of them but I just could not get over the boomy-ness of them despite running all of the software and tweaking the equalizer settings. I seemed to always either be stuck with a very flat and tinny sound or bass that just drowned out any details in the game. My old headphones which were on their last leg gave me a ton of detail and great surround but weren't 7.1, I had hoped that these would blow that other set away (though they were an expensive set when they were purchased years ago).
That being said, I do still love the way they look and they were very, very comfortable but it just wasn't worth it for me in the end. Perhaps they should be a 3.5 star but I'm still on the hunt for a 5-star replacement for me old headphones.

Do you need a power cable and sata cable?

If your computer doesn't have them already, then yes, because this drive does not come with any cables. My computer had the power cord but I had to buy the SATA cable.
