3.0 Fast!
on November 28, 2016
Posted by: Rockinrebel
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are the fastest USB 3.0 devices and for the price are well worth it. Includes a terrific low level activity light, so it doesn't look like a Roman Candle ever time you load something to it. They come in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB of storage. Make sure you grab a few up for transferring photos to over the Christmas Season.

Space Saver

Verified Purchase:Yes
While writing this review it sounded to alert me of a problem. The computer continued to work, never lost internet or even my viewing of my monitor as all are plugged into the UPS. Have now purchased four and could not have had better results! The kids are happy too never getting booted off a game or having to reboot to a computer.

Plug me in and play!
on October 29, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Works so very well, with TV, monitor's and XBOX. No loss of signal from my previous much more expensive cord that I bent and cracked. Unless you are making your living off of music or video recording, this will more than measure up to your needs at half the price.

Why choose a CF card for your Tower Card Reader?
on October 29, 2016
Posted by: Rockinrebel
Verified Purchase:Yes
How many of you have a CF Card Reader in your tower unit.? Likely most of you, but unlikely you have never used it and that is what makes this card perfect!. You can commit all 32GB of the CF Card to be used only as "ReadyBoost" to speed up your system for cheap! Plus, it leaves the other more popular card slots open like SD and USB. Just be sure to format the card to change it from the FAT format to NTFS. This way it will allow you to use all 32GBs. A marked improvement in speed, again for cheap!

A great value buy! Better than monitor speakers.
on October 29, 2016
Posted by: Rockinrebel
Verified Purchase:Yes
They sound better than you would expect, have an ice cold blue LED on indicator light and plenty of cord to stretch to most places on your desk. Plug and play, just as simple as it should be. Better than the monitor speakers in my Insignia 24" Monitor and worth the extra $15.00. Ear phone plug in the master speaker to keep you from reaching around to get to your tower.

Such an easy install of the product and the software that went with it. It updates all of the drivers on its own and has performed far better than expected. Looks great through the case glass as well.

Surge into protection
on September 2, 2016
Posted by: Rockinrebel
Verified Purchase:Yes
Back to school meant new electronics that needed to have at least surge protection. Great looking, slim fit allows to be out of view, or hung on the wall for easy access. We coupled this with an Uninterrupted Power Supply to make sure when the next Sun Downer winds come the power snaps won't damage our electronics.

Smooth Power
on September 2, 2016
Posted by: Rockinrebel
Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased this to smooth out the power flux our area was having due to high winds. Those annoying little blink of the lights that mess up computers, X-Boxes and so on. It can get expensive replacing hard drives when your stuff gets zapped enough. Surge protectors here were just not enough. This unit has your devices running off of battery power all the time it is charging, so you never notice those little snaps nor do your electronic devices. It is has a surge protector as well as the uninterrupted power supply. Plug your modem and WiFi into it as well.

Switch your focus.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Perfectly meshed up to my mother board on both computers. This KVM Switch requires that you have two USB ports remaining on each mother board panel and a mouse and keyboard that are USB connected as well. The program was identified as soon as I booted up, and from there on just one click of the provided button to move between both of your towers.

This Insignia™ NS-PD06502 6' cable connects your computer's DisplayPort to an HDMI type-A input and supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution for crisp images.
 

Is this Display port Male to HDMI female?

The provided connections are VGA male. No HDMI connections are provided. See if you can located an adapter to change the HDMI to VGA. then you will will be able to use the switch. The television should have a VGA female connection, check that online if you like before you remove the TV from your wall.

Is this active or passive?

You must hit the switch to move between computers. Not sure what you would call that.

Will this work in plugging the USB end into my HP Laptop & using the HDMI end on the TV? I've been using a HDMI/HDMI cord but having issues with it showing up on screen. Hit or miss.

This switch comes with two VGA connections. I don think it will identify the keyboard of your laptop, so I feel you would still need to provide a USB Keyboard and mouse to hook into this KVM Unit. Most likely your TV has a VGA connection, so you should be good to go if you use the VGA connections provided.

My new monitor only has 1 DisplayPort, my laptop only has HDMI. Will it work for me?

You need two VGA ports. If you can get an adapter to change them to VGA, otherwise as I see it, it will not work.

How does the internet connect when using this product? Can the internet connect to both? (not at the same time of course but how does it switch back and forth?

This is a switch that allows two computers to be viewed one at a time on one monitor. You are simply switching between the computers. You do not need internet to use this switch. If you want to be on line, then one or both of your computers would need to have their own internet connection. The computers act independently of each other, you cannot move information from one to the other, it simply provides you with the capability to view and work in one computer at a time. It is a really cool thing to have if you like to keep information separate, like work and home and hobbies, or old and new programs. If you have an older tower and don't want to move all of your older 32 bit programs over to the new 64 bit system, you may easily access (view) your old computer information by simply turning it on once you hook it up. Then, if you want the info you may copy it to a disc or thumb drive and bring it to your newer computer, or email it to yourself from one computer to the other. Again this switch just allows you to "view."
