Good product

The life span of an SSD is mainly determined by the underlying technology, such as SLC, MLC, TLC, and 3D NAND technologies. SLC has very high life span and are used by data centers. MLC has roughly 3-4 times of life span than TLC. 3D-NAND’s life span is similar to MLC. This Sandisk Plus uses MLC, which is better than Sandisk Ultra II. The performance of Sandisk Plus and Ultra II are similar. So, it is a good buy. But the current price on BestBuy.com is a bit on the high side, may not be worth it.

Store files on this 1TB 2.5-inch Crucial solid-state drive. It has read speeds of up to 530MB/sec. and write speeds of up to 510MB/sec. for quick, efficient data transfer, and it's energy efficient to minimize power usage for longer battery life. This Crucial solid-state drive has no moving parts, so it resists shocks and drops.

very good SSD
on June 4, 2017
Posted by: mirky
Verified Purchase:Yes
I always liked Crucial's memory. Crucial's SSD technology is also progressing very well. The endurance of 3D NAND is similar to that of MLC NAND, so this SSD has a similar endurance as that of Samsung 850 Evo (which also uses 3D NAND technology) and can sustain 3-4 more write cycles than the SSDs using TLC NAND technology (Sandisk Ultra II, Transcend, etc. use TLC NAND technology). The random IO speed of this SSD may not be as good as Samsung 850 Evo, but it is fast enough for most of the applications and it is cheaper.

Good enough for normal use.

When it comes to SSD, the main concerns would be the IO performance and the life span. There are a lot of data on the web about the user perceived IO performance for various SSDs. Here is a sample of user perceived IO performance for some popular SSDs.
Sandisk Ultra II - Sandisk SSD Plus - Crucial MX-300 - Samsung 850 Evo
Sequential read 453 MB/s - 476 MB/s – 463 MB/s - 497 MB/s
Sequential Write 248 MB/s - 297 MB/s – 296 MB/s - 389 MB/s
Random Read (4K) 28.1 MB/s - 20.4 MB/s – 22.9 MB/s - 38.2 MB/s
Random Write (4K) 52 MB/s - 73.3 MB/s – 59.6 MB/s - 78.6 MB/s
Life span, or endurance, of an SSD is mainly determined by the underlying technology, such as SLC, MLC, TLC, and 3D NAND technologies. SLC has very high life span and are used by data centers. MLC has roughly 3-4 times of life span than TLC. 3D-NAND’s life span is similar to MLC. Sandisk Ultra II uses TLC. Some Sandisk SSD Plus units use MLC and some use TLC, but Sandisk does not provide the information. Both Samsung 850 Evo and Crucial MX300 use 3D NAND.
As far as the life span is concerned, almost all of the SSDs would sustain regular use for at least 5 years, even the TLC. So, if you are not performance sensitive, then Sandisk Ultra II would be a good choice. Here are a few things that you can do to improve the life span of your Sandisk SSD. First, make sure you run the latest OS, which has a better support for SSDs. Second, avoid hibernation because during hibernation, multiple giga bytes of data are saved from memory to disk (depends on your memory size). Third, try not to benchmark your disk to avoid those unnecessary writes.

The PowerUp Sonic technology of this Philips Sonicare HX3631/06 toothbrush delivers more than 15,000 strokes per minute for thorough brushing in as little as 2 minutes. Gentle brushing action is safe for use on dental work and helps improve gum health.

Does not work well for harder to reach arreas
on March 18, 2017
Posted by: mirky
Verified Purchase:Yes
This toothbrush does not work that well. Manual cleaning has better reachability and can clean better. When I try to brush harder to reach areas, it is difficult to maneuver the toothbrush and the stick hits the teeth at a high frequency, quick unpleasant feeling. Also, the brush itself is somewhat on the hard side, not as claimed to be ultra soft. It hurts my gum when I push close to the gum area.
I still use this electrical toothbrush, but do manual brushing afterward for harder to reach areas. In this way, the brush is fine.

reliable and high capacity

Verified Purchase:Yes
WD has been my choice for internal and external hard drives for a while. It is more reliable than other brands. This one is 4TB capacity, great for movies. The speed of the drive is reasonable, old USB 3.0, wished that it is the faster USB 3.1. The only negative comment I have is the color of this unit. From the picture, it is dark yellow, very pretty color, but the actual item is bright yellow. I was disappointed with the color when received it.

Good basic juicer.
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: mirky
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
- The juicer does perform what it is designed to do.
- Parts assembly are well designed to make cleaning easy. The blade cup is harder to clean, but with the included brush, it is ok, nice to include the brush.
Cons:
- The left over still has quite a lot of moist. But considering the price, it is satisfactory.
- The mouth is not big enough for a regular-sized apple. I had to cut it into 4 pieces to feed it. Also, there is an alignment bar on one side of the mouth, which further limits the size of round fruits to go through, and I do not understand why such alignment is necessary for the pusher. Not a big deal though.
- I soaked the parts in water to wash them. The pusher is enclosed, but water leaks in and it is hard to get the water out. Again, no big deal, just annoying.
Overall, I am happy with the product. I get nice fresh juice as I wished. I had seen better juicers but they are more expensive.

good keyboard cover, but pricy
on June 9, 2015
Posted by: mirky
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
- Great keys Very easy to type.
- Quite a few desirable function keys.
- Nice magnetic stand, sturdy.
Cons:
- Bad power button, very hard to press.
- Not very good packaging. The keyboard folio is not bagged (no cloth or plastic bag) only placed in the box, not sure it was a returned item or it was packaged that way.
- Folio does not lock securely, does not offer good protection for even minor drops (opens up).

Can the removable parts go in the dishwasher?

Yes. But the cutter may need some brushing (brush is included). Dishwasher may not clean it fully.

Does it need the pusher to push down the food, it's not shown in the picture and I can't imagine not having that compressed.

It does need the pusher to push down the food so that the cutter can cut them. The cutter shapes like a bowl with a lot of tiny blades on it. It rotates at a high speed to mince the food and centrifugal forces the juice out. The food going through the mouth goes onto the cutter. If you do not push the food down, the food will just float on top of the blades.
