Great for Mac
on July 17, 2016

This thing is super portable. Very small and light, would fit in any laptop bag. Also nice that it comes pre-formatted in exFAT so its compatible with Mac and PC. I actually bought this to transfer files between the two. I also went with the SSD for reliability. Without any moving parts this thing should last a good long time. You can get a portable HDD with much more storage for less, but it isn't going to be as reliable. I recommend this thing all day for anybody wanting a good, reliable portable storage option, and doesn't need a heap of space.

THE perfect bag for a micro 4/3 setup.

I recently got an Olympus PEN E-PL6 and have bought 3 bags, and looked at many many more. The first couple I got were the smaller cube shaped bags. One from Case Logic and one from Lowepro. The Case Logic was just too small, I could barely fit just the camera and a lenspen. The lowepro is nicer but still not what I really wanted. I decided I wanted a messenger style bag, but nothing too huge, and didn't want to spend a fortune. The Tenba DNA 8 fits the bill. Its just the right size, has a super nice and comfortable strap, the zippers are great, the quick clips that hold the front flap are awesome, and its pretty dang good looking too. I got the grey one but blue was a close pick. There is enough room in my bag for my PEN E-PL6 with the standard kit lens on it, a 150mm telephoto lens, the small flash that came with my camera, and some accessories like a lenspen, a cloth, my phone, some earbuds, USB cable... ect.
Also there would be room for another lens or two but the bag comes with a weatherproof cover that I have in one of the spaces. You could carry the cover in one of the side pockets and have a large flash or another lens or two in there.
It also has a back slot for a small tablet (ipad mini sized or smaller)
The only reason I would ever need to use a different bag is if I want a backpack style for longer hikes or I decide to get a full size DSLR.

Get a crystal clear picture with this LED 28-inch AOC widescreen monitor. The 4K technology resolution provides highly-detailed images, while the AMD Free Sync technology eliminates image stutter by matching graphics signal to the screen timing. Fast screen-response time on this AOC widescreen monitor lets you watch fast moving images without blurring.

Decent value
on May 7, 2016

This monitor is decent value for the money, but quality control is a question with AOC. I was upgrading from the 1920x1200 24" Dell IPS display and made the mistake of setting too low a budget for 4k. I thought the high res was more important to me than the poor color accuracy and viewing angles of a TN panel. This was a mistake. Aside from the colors never looking as good as my Dell IPS, I could also never get the right black level/contrast. Either the blacks are all grey, or a bunch of the colors melt into the black. No good medium. Also I noticed 2 dead pixels and 4 stuck pixels on my monitor after a couple days. I returned and I'm saving more money for a 4k Dell IPS.
If you are on a budget, want 4k, and aren't comparing to an IPS display, this is a great buy (if yours doesn't have any bad pixels). Otherwise, spend some more money and get something nicer.
