Great drive, can't beat the price!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This drive is about half the price of the other WD 8tb drive with the online storage which wasn't a need for us so we grabbed a few of them to consolidate data from a bunch of lower capacity external drives.
Paid about 150 each about a month ago.
Transfer speed was great.
They all had WD Red 8tb drives in them, which cost more as a bare drive than we paid for each of these externals.
Only negative is they'er a tiny bit louder than our other drives. Not the constant running sound - but the occasional clicks that it makes during drive activity like copying files to it. They're pretty noticeable pops sometimes. Definitely not a dealbreaker for us but if this is going next to a computer in a bedroom it might be worth considering.

This card worked perfectly on an android tablet we were using that needed more storage space for pictures and video. Formatted instantly and we've had zero issues since.
Works great.

Connect your laptop with an HDMI output to a VGA-enabled monitor or projector with the Insignia NS-PG95503 HDMI-to-VGA adapter for reliable transfer of signals up to 1920 x 1080 @60Hz. Note: Product does not convert VGA sources (computers) to HDMI (TV input), it only converts HDMI sources (computers) to VGA displays.

Works great on PC, had issues with a KVM.
on November 3, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Worked perfectly when connected to a micro form factor PC with only HDMI to get a signal out to an older VGA monitor.
We ran into problems when connecting another machine to a Linkskey KVM with the video signal constantly wanting to adjust resolution and flickering in and out, that made it unusable, where another HDMI to VGA adapter from another manufacturer work fine.
For it's basic intended purpose though, it works great.
Price is steep for what it is compared to other places online but it's great to have it available off the shelf at a local bestbuy.

Take a closer look with this Dell 24-inch monitor. Its InfinityEdge technology uses a thin bezel for a modern design and a practically borderless display that measures 23.8 inches. Appreciate the incredible colors on this Dell 24-inch monitor, and enjoy ComfortView, which filters out blue light to support eye health.

Nice monitor, comes with an HDMI cable.

Nice crisp clear picture. We use these in an office environment so I can't speak to refresh rate or video/gaming performance but the almost edgeless design is really nice and the fact that it came with an HDMI cable was just an added bonus that saved us maybe 20 - 30 bucks per monitor purchased so figure that into the price if you're comparison shopping.
We bought a bunch of monitors recently from another manufacturer and they only included VGA cables and I don't think any of our machines had VGA video out. Had to buy a bunch of HDMI cables instead.

Works well, just pricey for what it is.
on October 21, 2017
Posted by: McGanskiRules
Verified Purchase:Yes
The controllers fit perfectly and they perform as expected - just giving you a more comfortable/familiar grip on things when playing multiplayer racing games on a single switch console.
Would have given it five stars if it weren't for the price. It's just pretty expensive for what are basically two plastic doughnuts.
Their dock is ridiculously priced, the replacement controllers, ac adapters, gaming controller - everything that's sold as an accessory from nintendo for the switch is just overpriced for what you get. Bottom line. I'd actually buy more of them if the price was more reasonable just to duplicate our setup on multiple tvs in different rooms - if it just didn't cost so much.

So far so good.

I'd been steering clear of WD drives because of some failure issues we had years ago and one problem in particular with being unable to recover data from one of their external drives because of a proprietary connector that they were hardwiring to their drives for a period of time.
Swore off them as a result and only bought this one because there were no Seagates in stock. So far so good. Easy installation. Came with screws which was nice and as of today it's been running smoothly with zero issues.

It's Mario Kart. It's awesome.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Haven't bought the last couple Mario Karts just becasue we haven't bought a Nintendo console in a few years since we've been focusing on xbox and pc gaming in the house. This game brings back memories of previous versions with a new fit and finish that makes it our go-to game on the switch so far.
Like I said - can't compare it to the Wii version but I've heard it's similar. It's got great graphics, smooth gameplay, all of the characters you remember and updated versions of tracks from previous incarnations of Mario Kart from older consoles.
All of the characters and levels are unlocked out of the box with only the vehicle modifications needing to be unlocked along the way.
Great way to kill some time and super enjoyable overall.
Great game.

Cool Figure. Love the proportions.

Grabbed this for half price on clearance the other day cause it caught my kid's eye. He's been a Halo fan for years and liked the proportions of the figure and how it's scaled to look a little bit like a kiddie version of Master Chief. Pretty cool detailing too and we couldn't beat the price.

Works ok. Doesn't detect some drives.
on October 21, 2017
Posted by: McGanskiRules
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this to supplement an Aluratek single bay external adapter that's worked great for years and years. This dock is fine when it detects drives but we've had issues with it not detecting some drives in either bay, that are detected perfectly fine in the older Aluratek.
We've tried different operating systems and boot disks with the same result, and when a drive isn't detected, it won't pick it up in either bay. Other drives work fine in both bays.
We would have returned the item if we'd noticed the issue within the return period but it took some trial and error to figure it out.
We'll use it for what we can with the drives that do work with it moving forward but pretty disappointed overall. Hopefully we just got a faulty one.

I gave up on western digital drives maybe 5 years ago after I opened one up to recover some data from a failed disk and found a proprietary connector on the drive's board. Never looked back. Have used seagate drives ever since with great luck. Highly recommended.
