PNY SSD is very inexpensive and it works great! I use it in my laptops and test -drive for UBUNTU and other OS systems.
I had no problems and Windows 10 installed just fine.
SSD also makes your computer much faster and gives even older computer "NEW LEGS!"

PNY - CS1100 240GB Serial ATA III Solid State Driv

It's an a entry level SSD drive. Not the fastest drive, but it works. It was also the least expensive drive, so for the money it's a good investment.
Your computer becomes a FAST COMPUTER without buying a new PC! Most SSD drives boot Windows 7 in about 35-45 seconds! If you use the old fashion drive, the boot time can easily top 2.5-4,5,6.... minutes!

Works great, despite I do not have Galaxy phone, but LG phone.
I was looking for something with a durable clip, and this case is very good.
I do not use the included phone cover, but the one I have on my phone works perfect anyway.

SanDisk - Pixtor Advanced 32GB microSDHC Class 10

Verified Purchase:Yes
This card does what I needed at a reasonable price and I have nothing bad to say. I would like to see the speed mentioned on the packaging to be replicable at my equipment, but I do understand that there are several factors in play, including my equipment and the tests I've performed.
The only reason I took off one star is because I've expected more speed from this brand compared to a less known brands I also tested. My only suggestion is to test the card under your situations and equipment and compare it to your existing memory cards. If you get a noticeably better performance, purchase the card. Good luck.

SanDisk - Pixtor Advanced 64GB microSDXC Class 10
on October 23, 2014
Posted by: czecht
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would give it 5 stars, if the speed was as claimed on the packaging. I understand that speed is determined by several factors, so I took just one star off. The slower card I also purchased at the same time was: "SanDisk - Pixtor Advanced 32GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-3 Memory Card", was slightly slower, but the cost was also much less. If I had to purchase the cards again, I would purchase the slower card and save some money.
But the card does work well and I have no other complaints.

This APC BN1080G UPS features 8 outlets to provide ample connections for your equipment. The rechargeable battery supplies up to 121 minutes of power during outages.
Can I use this for my home network router and network switch and home network server (QNAP TS-451 +) ??? All equipment is connected in my master bedroom closet. Thank you :)
Yes you can and you SHOULD!
If you have a server, it needs to have UPS for many reasons. (UPS - uninterruptible power supply)
I have Qnap server also, that has its own UPS by APC; I like APC brand very much for their quality and reliability!
Server is much more sensitive to power than a regular computer, in my opinion.
I would not put the server into a closet, because the server needs a good airflow and cool air. The closet, in most cases, has no air went and can overheat very fast!
If you need to use the closet, make sure you provide airflow and do not put the server close to the ceiling, but much lower, where the temperature is cooler. If you do not use A/C in your room, you should equip your server with temperature sensor, that would shut down the server, with a signal, not shutting the power off, so your server doesn't overheat!
Good luck.

How long (minutes or hours)will fully charged backup battery run my two 6watt aquarium aquaclear water pump filters plus one 6watt air pump (18 watt total load). See attached photos for backup battery model which is APC 1080 VA.
It depends how many devices are plugged into the ports, that stay on, if the power goes off.
Most people should plug in ONLY PC, MONITOR and MODEM! Do not plug in any printers or other "hungry" devices!
If you computer is i7 and you have a Tower style PC with lots of hard drives, fast video card ... it will use much more power - so your PC will stay on much shorter than a regular inexpensive PC that doesn't have a fancy video card and one hard drive.
My APC UPS was on for about 25 minutes before the USB cable gave my PC the SHUT-DOWN-COMMAND! But we do not have power shortages or loose power more than 1x in 10 years and it is almost never any longer than few minutes!
If your house looses power for long periods of time, you should consider to purchase a small generator, that comes on automatically when your loose power . It is much less expensive than purchasing a very large UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). The more Watt Hours the UPS is, the more $$$ one must pay and the batteries last only few years, before one must replace them.
I use UPS mainly to protect my equipment, including my TV's, computers, 3D printers, printers .... from spikes and or low power voltages, because our city has excellent power providers.

Maximize your system's storage capacity with this Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive. Quick transfer rates move information three times faster than traditional hard drives. The My Book has universal connections to ensure compatibility with 3.0 and 2.0 USB devices. The drive also offers built-in 256-bit hardware encryption and optional password protection for peace of mind.
At WDC.com, if one clicks on "Products" > "External Storage", the first two shown (Top row, left to right) are "My Book (New)" and "My Book". Both are new (vs used), but the "new" one has a 3-year warranty and is formatted "exFAT". Which is this?
OK, it is just the design of the case - I have both. They also changed the controller for the USB3, so they call it NEW.
The way they format the HD isn't as important, one can change it later, when you connect it to the computer.
What OS are you using? That would give you other options, when you re-format the drive.
I wouldn't play with other than default - FOR MOST CASES - unless you understand the byte-sizes and much more than majority of the user's need to know.
One can speed up the drive by partitioning it to 1-2TB sizes, it also helps little with wasting bytes, but that is a very long explanation for today.
Make sure you copy the software that came with the drive, so you don't have to search for it later.

Will it work in an acer c710?
It should work for any desktop computer or laptop! As long as you know how to install the OS, i.e. Windows 10/7.... and have the DVD and or USB-stick with the bootable install of Windows, Ubuntu ...
If you need more help,just google it or youtube is also a great source of information.

Is this compatible with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet version 3?
I hope it does. The last one I bought (A Sandisk Pixtor 64GB Micro SD card. I think it was an SDXC.) wouldn't make that clicking noise indicating it fits and my tablet wouldn't read it. I had to tape the slot shut just to get it to stay in. I'd just like to know before I open up the package and end up pulling all of my hair out.
I only have Galaxy 4 and even the 64GB SD card was working correctly, despite the manual insisting that it is only excepting SD cards up to 32GB!
I would say that most 32GB SD cards should work in you Samsung device.
Make sure to format the SD card with the DEFAULT SETTINGS option that you can click on, during the format under Windows 7 or newer.

Sandisk Pixtor 32GB microSDHC Class ? UHS-1 -red/silver
This sounds redundant but can someone tell me if it should work in my SS Galaxy Note 4? mine is red/silver & has a 1 in that U, not a 3. It keeps saying no card installed or mounted? But it's installed! I'm staring at it! I got so nuts @ it I thought maybe I didn't install it! I'm out of memory and can't get back to BB for help and somehow things are getting deleted. I think bc I was clearing data not cache? But 5 years of music is gone. I'm not tech savvy (obvie) & starting to freak. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!!!!
Many SD card slots, mainly older hardware, can't access the 32GB. I do not know if your equipment can only see a memory card sizes up to 16GB, but you can test it by PARTITIONING the 32GB SD card into TWO 16GB partitions and format the first partition only! Re-insert the SD card and test your equipment and if it works, your device can't address anything larger than 16GB.
BUT I must advice you that this does not work 100% at a time, some devices can't recognize even a partitioned SD card!
The second test is to format the SD card in your computer - make sure to use DEFAULT SETTINGS! You must click on the DEFAULT SETTINGS button during the FORMAT of the SD card. When your SD card is formatted, try to insert it again.
Third possibility is that your equipment does not like this particular brand or this model so please try a different card or brand and test both 16GB and 32GB cards!
Lastly, these MINI SD CARDS are so tiny that many people insert them incorrectly and even damage the card or the SD slot, so pay attention.
