Inexpensive but slow

Price is appealing, but it's an old USB 2 flash drive, so it's very slow.

They're too stiff to easily slide a cable into. And they're overpriced. Avoid.

Nice choice for a roomy portable hard drive.

After some issues with Seagate external drives, I selected this Western Digital portable model. It's small, reasonably fast, and so far has been rock solid reliable.

Big Sound from Portable Bluetooth Speaker
on April 23, 2015
Posted by: HTownChowDown
from Houston, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a smallish, inexpensive Bluetooth speaker to use with my iPad. At my local Best Buy store I was about to buy a competitive model, but one of the staff suggested this Bose model. She set up a demo unit for me to listen to, and I was immediately impressed by the sound quality.
It hit almost all of my important features: Great sound quality, reasonable size (fits in my iPad bag), micro-USB charging, pairs with two devices at once.
If you're looking for a small speaker, pass up the Beats and Jambox and get this one. You won't regret it.

Inexpensive external flash for Nikon DSLRs
on March 18, 2015
Posted by: HTownChowDown
from Houston, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not wanting to spend $300+ for a Nikon Speedlight, I was excited to try this Insignia flash. While its build quality isn't as good as Nikon's, its operation is flawless - it works automatically with Nikon's Creative Lighting System, and even functions as an off-camera slave flash.
If you're serious about photography, go get one.

Fast, affordable, works as advertised

External hard drives, used with a good backup program, are an easy way to protect your valuable data from loss. Over the years I've bought a number of different external hard drives for use with PCs and Macs.
While their job is simple (store files quickly and reliably) some exhibit odd quirks that cause problems. Not so with this WD hard drive; it works flawlessly. And the price is right.

Good Sound Quality, AirPlay ease of use
on September 5, 2014
Posted by: HTownChowDown
from Houston, Texas
Type of Listener:Avid listener
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
Verified Purchase:Yes
Back in the day, I assembled a huge rack of stereo equipment, with four-foot-tall speakers to spread sound throughout the house. Sounded great, but unless you were an audio geek you'd never figure out how to make it play what you wanted.
Now things are much easier. We're an Apple-using family, and we love the ease of use of Airplay speakers. During a recent sale we picked up two of these Pioneer Airplay speakers, and installed them on our home network.
While not offering house-rattling bass, the overall sound quality is very good. Ease of use is excellent; any of us can transmit music from our iPhones, iPads, or Macs to the speaker; no need to re-pair or be nearby, as there is with Bluetooth speakers.
If you're not an Apple house, stick with Bluetooth, because non-Apple devices don't speak Airplay. But if you've got iDevices, this is a great choice, especially if Best Buy runs another of their tremendous sales.

What's great about it: Sound, Pairing with multiple devices, no range issues
What's not so great: Setup is a bit tricky, doesn't always come out of sleep automatically

Can this be taken back and forth between PC and Mac interfaces or is it strictly Mac compatible once it is formatted that way?

As long as you don't format with a Mac-specific file system, you can move it back and forth between Macs and PCs.
