The title pretty much gives it away, but this is a good budget friendly SSD. I picked one up on sale for under $40.00. I replaced an aging 7200 RPM mechanical boot drive that I had in a secondary system. The difference is amazing. I would not hesitate to buy another one, however, if you have the extra cash and want some added performance then I would save up for a Samsung 850 EVO. I have one in my main system and it blows the PNY drive away. Either way this gives a nice (and cheap) performance boost when coming from older mechanical drives.

This has been my first PC build in a number years. I settled on this motherboard because of the features and price. It has also received fairly positive reviews on other websites so I was confident it would perform as it should. I'm running an Intel i5 6600k w/ 16GB of G.Skill Ripjaw V 3200 memory and and a Samsung EVO 850 SSD and this thing moves! I only have a few minor "complaints". First of all, on the initial boot the system will power on for a few seconds then shut itself off, HOWEVER it will turn itself back on after a few seconds and continue to boot properly. This process only happens on the first boot and I assume the board is just configuring itself, none the less I was scared at first thinking I got a lemon. The second minor complaint is that, even though the memory I purchased is compatible with this board, I could not get it to run in XMP mode out of the box. I updated the BIOS to the latest OFFICIAL version, still no luck. I put in a help ticket with Gigabyte and have not yet heard from them. I then took it upon myself to flash the latest BETA version of the BIOS and XMP enabled just fine and the RAM was running full speed at 3200. I'm just disappointed I have to rely on a BETA BIOS in order to use the board properly, however I'm confident an OFFICIAL release will be coming soon. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product and would recommend it, I just wish Best Buy sold the Gaming 7 version, but too late now. Also, a shout out to Best Buy, I found the board cheaper elsewhere, but a quick 5 minute call to a friendly and helpful Customer Service employee and they adjusted the price to match the competitor.

My computer had been running a little sluggish for a while and was in need of a tune up. I was previously running a 7,200 RPM mechanical drive with a fresh copy of Windows 10 PRO installed. I've heard good things about Samsung SSD's so when I saw this one on sale I jumped on it. This was my first experience with an SSD. Installation was a piece of cake. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 instead of transferring data from my old drive. I did not have any issues at all. The new drive made a noticeable difference, now my computer boots much faster and runs everything nice and smooth compared to my old drive. Although this drive supports up to 6Gbps SATA connections, my motherboard only supports 3Gbps, so I'm looking forward to even more performance when I upgrade my mobo someday. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this drive. The only "Cons" i have is that it does not include a SATA cable or a bracket to fit in a 3.5 inch bay. I knew this when I bought it, however it would have been nice if it came with them.

Being a fan of the books, I really liked the the original Jurassic Park movie. Although it wasn't 100% true to the book (what movie is?) it followed its spirit and was still really enjoyable. Jurassic Park 2 - The Lost World - Great book, very disappointing movie. It took bits of the book, probably just enough to be able to legally share the title and then spiraled out of control from there (i.e. T-Rex being brought to San Diego). Jurassic Park 3 - although not officially based on a book, basically took some of the concepts from the books that were omitted from the first 2 films and was made into a 3rd, some what decent film. Okay. I know this is supposed to be a review of Jurassic World, however I needed to express my disappointment in the direction some of the last movies went in order to emphasize the point that I had the bar set really low for this movie. Although it is not perfect in many ways, it was still an enjoyable movie and has restored some of my faith in the franchise. I only hope that if someday there is a reboot of the originals that they stick closer to the books and give them (and Michael Crichton) the justice they deserve.

First of all, if you have TWC you need to buy your own modem. It's a waste of money to rent one from them for $7+ a month. This will pay for itself in no time. Anyway, I recently upgraded my internet speed with TWC. Went from 15 down/1 up to 30 down/5 up. I had an older Motorola DOCIS 2.0 modem which technically should have been able to reach the new speeds so I stuck with that trying to save a little money, however I quickly found out it was maxing out at 22/2.5. So off to Best Buy I went. I actually found this modem cheaper online elsewhere, but the associates at Best Buy matched the price without any hassle. Now my internet speeds are holding around 37/6.5. Very impressed with this modem. Super simple and easy to install, just don't forget to call TWC right after you hook it up so they can activate it.

Roku 3: Access more than 1,500 channels in up to 1080p and view videos from Netflix and YouTube directly on your TV. Fast, powerful and loaded with features, the motion-sensing remote lets you play games or plug in headphones to watch late-night flicks without waking up the household.

This is my first experience with any Roku product, it was extremely easy to setup. Previously I was using a modded Nintendo Wii to stream Netflix, Hulu Plus and videos over a local network share. The Wii was limited to 480p and couldn't even process HD streaming for videos on the local network. This Roku can handle 1080p just fine, not only looking better, but it loads faster too. I can still share videos/pictures/music over the local network using the Plex channel and other similar channels which are available for free. One of the features that I was truly impressed with was the Android App; it not only allows you to use your phone as a remote control, but you can play any HD video/photos/music directly from your phone onto your TV over a wireless network. The only gripe I have is the lack of an official YouTube channel. You can still access YouTube through the Plex channel, but I assume an official channel would be easier to navigate and give a better experience. Overall this is a great product and I highly recommend it for anyone who primarily uses online streaming services.
What's great about it: Lots of features/content.
What's not so great: No YouTube channel (yet).

Does this come with an adapter need to put into a 3.5" desktop bay?

It does not come with the 3.5" adapters or SATA cables. However they are not expensive, you can get both for about $10 at various stores online.

I need a TV that will work with my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 model SM-T21OR
I'm not sure exactly what you are looking to accomplish, but if you are wanting to share videos/photos/music from your tablet onto your TV then I would suggest a Roku 3 box. It works with ANY HD-TV that has an available HDMI port, no DLNA needed. Assuming you have a wireless network, you can download the ROKU app onto your tablet and play your content easily from your tablet onto your TV. The ROKU is also great for Netflix, etc. I hope this helps.
