Excellent 4K Monitor!
on April 7, 2018
Posted by: thedvsmonkey

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this monitor. Easy to mount and to connect to my new iMac. Now with a 27" iMac and this 27" 4K monitor I have more screen real estate than I need. I can see multiple browser windows, Finder, and chat screens without having to flip around . . . they're all showing at once! Best investment I've made in awhile! I've tested it with pictures, videos, documents, movies, and everything else I could possibly be viewing and they all look fantastic! I also got it for a great price!

Great HDD at a Great Price
on March 23, 2018
Posted by: thedvsmonkey
from VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I saw the price of this in the store and read the reviews others had left I knew this purchase was a no brainer! I bought it to use on my new iMac. I plan on doing a lot of video editing on the iMac and since that will now include 4k video I knew I needed to go big with an external HDD. This is indeed a Red drive hidden in the housing. I did have some issues getting both my old windows machine and my new iMac both recognizing the drive at the same time. A call to WD took care of that. The tech helped me get the drive visible on both machines so I could get all of my info off of the windows machine and then setup the drive to work on the new iMac. I will say that if you haven't accessed it for a bit that it's slow to start up again. It also makes a strange ticking noise. Took me awhile to figure out that the noise was coming from the drive. Don't lean it against a wall or you'll waste too much time trying to find the source of the drip behind the walls! It will take me quite awhile to fill this drive up since I already transferred all of my info from past computers to this one and I've barely touched the space.

My Goto Memory!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not much to say other than I only buy SanDisk! I've been a still photographer for over 10 years and a videographer for the last 5 and I only buy SanDisk memory because it works well and I've never had a failure or any other issue for that matter. I use this one for my new GoPro Hero 6 and it's a must have. The size and speed are great and the price was right at Best Buy (it was on sale)!

Great Cam!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a Hero 3 Black GoPro and loved it. I felt it was time to get another one that has upgraded features . . . 4k, water resistant without adding a housing, built in LED screen, etc. I am not disappointed. I love this thing already. I take it with me everywhere like I did with the 3. I've shot all over and it takes great footage. Seamless offloading onto my iMac and easy edits. I am disappointed that they did away with GoPro Studio since I feel it is far superior and has much more useful tools than Quick. I got a gimbal for it too and it really steps up my game. I totally recommend this upgrade from a 3 or earlier or as a first timer to GoPro.

I bought this for my staircase. The original kit was just a about a foot and a half short so this took me right where I needed to be. Hooked up easily and works flawlessly. You can't tell where the seam is and all of the colors are the same in both pieces.

Perfect Little Sound Giant!
on November 10, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this thing! I just wasn't able to hear the tv well in my home office over the sound of the equipment. This was recommended to me by an associate and I couldn't be happier. I was also short an HDMI port on the tv so the digital sound hookup was perfect. I have the sub woofer under my desk and the soundbar itself sitting on 2 risers on my desk. The tv is mounted on the wall about 2 feet above the top of the soundbar. The sound is amazing. I can hear this thing all the way downstairs. All of the controls both on the soundbar and on the remote respond instantly. The price was decent as well. I didn't need a $1000+ sound set up for my office tv so this was the perfect solution for me.

Perfect For The Road!

I always buy a 2nd power supply to take on the road with me. It just gets annoying plugging and unplugging and remembering to pack all of the cords I need. This one stays in my tech bag with the other travel cords along with a power strip. This one helps things charge quickly and efficiently.

my computer has usb2.0 only. what would I have to do if I wanted to use one of the faster usb3.0 or usb3.1 external WD easy-store 8tb hard drives ?

You'd have to buy a newer computer that has USB 3.0 ports. You can still use the drive since it's backwards compatible but you won't get USB 3.0 speeds.
