It does its job.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got it for 230 from Bestbuy, who later made a low pain pricematch with TigerDirect when it was offered there for 180, so consider that a benchmark as of April 2017. In general, it meets the arc of larger capacity drives being cheaper per gigabyte, so as one of the largest drives on the market it is among the cheapest for data storage. Otherwise, it does its job of storing data and allowing easy access to it. I haven't bothered with using the USB ports much, and only use it with one computer. I do appreciate the lack of the mottled/ridged appearance both WD and Seagate have been using for some external hard drive lines recently.

Smartphone resolution still not good enough.
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: Westrim
Verified Purchase:Yes
After a demo in a store, I thought this would be a good purchase, but ultimately the resolution just isn't good enough on smart phones to stare at them 2 inches from your eyeballs for more than a a few minutes. My Galaxy S7 just didn't cut it, and though I tried it several times over a couple of days, exploring menus and demos, ultimately the final half hour session just showed that it wasn't for me. Part of it is that I'm a reader, and any text was fuzzy. Good idea, premature execution.
A second significant issue is getting the phone in and out of the case. I don't have confidence that if I received a call while using it in the headset that I could get it out in time to answer- that's how awkward it is. It took a significant amount of time just to be sure I could get it in and out of the case without breaking something. Ease of use definitely needs work.

Solid mouse, solid performance
on December 18, 2016
Posted by: Westrim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had it for a month, so I can't speak to longevity concerns like battery performance and so on, but nothing's broken despite heavy usage and everything feels as smooth as it did out of the box, so that's a good sign. The forward back buttons are noted in other reviews as being funky, and that's true, but it's a very minor concern; they're still responsive and easy to operate. The horizontal scroll wheel is coming in handy more than I expected. Recommended if you want a rechargeable with good accuracy and performance.

A couple of drops and phone lives on
on October 17, 2016
Posted by: Westrim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm going to take away a star though for the flaps that cover the headphone and power ports. They are the biggest obstacle to getting the case on in its two stage process, and their pressure to close puts strain on the respective cables. I'm considering just snipping them off.
Otherwise, It's a phone case that feels like a case, and not a bulky useless decoration, and that's just fine in my preference for function over form. It does add significant bulk, though.

Great phone that does not explode

Verified Purchase:Yes
After three months, it's still maintaining the same charge and speed as it did right out of the box. Thankfully, my old Note 2 bit the dust in time for this phone, forcing me to upgrade immediately rather than wait for the Note 7. Thanks, timing!

Excellent headphones, however long they last
on April 24, 2016
Posted by: Westrim
Verified Purchase:Yes
After my last headset (Razor Carcharias) failed due to audio cutout, I researched extensively before settling on these, and I'm glad I did. They have excellent sound quality, flexibility, and features.
I do have one a couple criticisms and concerns, however. The criticism may just be a matter of my sound settings, but I've had a couple of occasions where switching between the headphones and their USB plugin to the speakers and/or the regular audio jack did not complete, leaving me without sound, or sound only in the way that I did not want, and time wasted fiddling with settings or plug swapping to get it going again. I also would have preferred that the regular cable attached to the headset was 2 meters and the USB end was a meter, but I understand the difficulties that might have created with the sound controls. Last, I'm concerned that the attachment of the wire to the headphones is permanent rather than another plug. In my experience, that's where headphones eventually fail no matter the quality of construction. Eventually can be a long time though, so we'll see how long these last.

The 3 disk bluray set is the best edition
on June 17, 2015
Posted by: Westrim
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking at this, you probably already want the movie, so I won't review that. As for which of the several available editions of the movie to get, get this one. Both the theatrical and extended version are on the same disk, an impossible feat for dvd. Lots of extras and goodies. Until there's some hyopthetical super pack with this and the two sequels currently in production several years from now, this is the best edition of the film available.

Enjoy fast, high-definition media streaming with this Sony Blu-ray disk player optimized with built-in Wi-Fi for smooth video performance.

Brilliant color and high-quality details add to watching enjoyment with this Sony Blu-ray disk player.
 

when playing DVDs on her vizio smart tv the image gets skewed. Like just a bit... I can't tell what aspect ratio it should be for the DVD. It's showing in 16:9. The TV remote changes nothings and i cant tell what i should do on thr blu-ray one.

Image quality is solely governed by the TV, so there won't be any controls for it on the remote for the bluray player; I would suggest swapping HMI cables and seeing if that clears the issue, then rechecking the tv remote one more time. For the DVD itself, it's either 4:3 or 16:9 and should say which it is on the case. It could be 4:3 upscaled to 16:9, which sometimes produces distortion noticeable on an HD screen.

I was told at the store that this unit will run on XP, I get it home and it's not recognized by the OS. What gives?

I have a Desktop with Win. 7 & 16GB Ram, (4) 2 TB HDs (Drives C, D, H & J) with this External HD, is there a way to partition it so I can copy all drives over to this one drive. Then transfer the programs I use over to a New Desktop with Win. 10?

Sure. To make partitions you just need a partition program, and there are plenty of free and paid programs available if you search online. It's been about 3 years since the last time I used one, so I don't feel informed enough to make a suggestion, but there are guides and lists that explain the pros and cons of many partition programs.

However, for the purposes of transferring to a new computer you should check Microsoft's guide for doing so. Some of your drives probably don't have program referenced files, so you can move their contents however you want, but programs and their files may need to be reinstalled if drive letters (and therefore file addresses) change.

Can I plug it directly into my router to create a storage cloud?

That would likely depend more on your router than the hard drive.
