Not sure this will last
on November 25, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Oddly enough this is the biggest complaint I have since choosing an Apple Watch. I had the Geek Squad install it since I can't install screen protectors to save my life. Despite that, three out of four corners are whitish indicating they're not secured completely. The bottom right corner actually looks like it's ready to peel up.
I've used Zagg products on my phones and tablets without any problems. I just think I'd be better off with a glass version. Unfortunately I have yet to find a better solution so I'll keep looking. I also plan on talking to Zagg before long to get a replacement.

Nice band for the money

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only nit I had against the Apple Watch when I purchased it is that I had to accept a white band I'll never wear just to get the silver case. I haven't taken that out of the package and this band has been my daily driver. It fits well and has a nice finish.
I've been wearing it daily for about a month and it seems to be holding up well. Even if it doesn't last too long it's inexpensive enough to not worry me too much.

Durable, lightweight aluminum cases in silver, space gray, gold, and rose gold. Sport Band in a variety of colors. All the features of the original Apple Watch, plus a new dual-core processor for faster performance. All models run watchOS 3. Requires an iPhone 5 or later.

Happy with the Series 1
on November 25, 2016
Posted by: Fotomonkey
Verified Purchase:Yes
I waited a long time to jump onto the Apple Watch bandwagon. To be honest I would have preferred the Series 2 but nobody had it in stock so I settled for the 1. I probably won't need the GPS or waterproof features, though, so I don't think it'll be a big deal.
I've been happy with the battery life (fwiw). I can make it two solid days without charging it and end up on day 3 with 20% or so. Even this doesn't bother me as much as I expected. I use it in nightstand mode every other night so it isn't too problematic. Keep in mind I'm using it as a watch with a few apps. I don't play music or games. I do have messages sent to it but no emails. The apps I use are the type where I'm in and out. Otherwise the battery life would likely be negatively impacted.
All in all I'm satisfied with my purchase and I may upgrade to the S2 when it becomes available for the other features.

I had already upgraded my Macbook Pro to the 1TB version of the EVO 850 so when I decided to upgrade my Linux laptop it was a no-brainer. My boot time has been significantly reduced in both machines. I can't compare the performance to other SSDs but imho the price is worth it. I'm absolutely seeing R/W speeds comparable to the specs of 540/Mbps. I'm planning on another laptop purchase this month and have already planned to replace the included HDD with this SSD.

Ok tripod for light camera
on February 4, 2015
Posted by: Fotomonkey
Verified Purchase:Yes
The legs are very thin on this. I only bought it because I needed something fast and there weren't any better options. It does ok holding my D5300 but I have to be careful what lens I put on with the D7000.
It's lightweight which is a good thing. I do like the grip and QR I suppose but I find once you lock it the head tends to move a bit. I'm much more a fan of the Arca style and this tripod will soon be relegated to the junk drawer.
Overall if you've got a small bodied camera and don't need a lot of super stability it's a decent tripod. I wouldn't put a 70-200 on it.

Overall a great bag for a single-body outing
on November 7, 2014
Posted by: Fotomonkey
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted something larger than a bag that would only allow me one lens but not something so large it was a burden. I've had a Lowepro AW backpack for years and wanted something similar but with quicker access.
This bag seems to fit the bill. I'm able to carry a single DSLR body along with my 70-200-/2.8, 35/2, 18-75, and even my 11-16/2.8. I also carry a small WB reflector, remote shutter release, batteries, memory cards, misc other stuff. Heck, I even cram the SB-400 flash in there.
The only thing I wish I could do is keep the 70-200 on the body since that's my main lens. I didn't find any bags that would do that w/o being too big. The next size up was larger than I wanted to go. I'm satisfied with the purchase and trust Lowepro products.

Drive Compatability
Will this drive run well on a 2010 Macbook Pro?
It'll fit anywhere a 2.5" drive will fit. I have the 1TB model running in my 2012 MBP.

HP Pavilion entertainment PC DV4-2170US
Will this drive fit into this laptop that has a traditional 500GB drive?
What do you mean by "traditional"? It's a 2.5" form factor which is "traditional" for laptops. It is not a 3.5" form factor which is "traditional" for desktops.

Windows 10 Compatibility
Does this ssd work with Windows 10?
It's just a hard drive. It doesn't care what the OS is. The better question is why would you run Windows? ;)

can a memory reader take dowlaods and transfer them to a new memory card for use in a phone mp3 player?
Copy the downloads from the old card to your computer, eject the card, insert the new card, and transfer from the computer to the new card.

Does best buy carry replacement USB cables for my Sony Cybershot DSC-H20
My son always put the cable in his mouth and now it won't work I guess its corroded now. I need to replace it so I can uplaod my pics and video. Does Best Buy carry them. I looked on the website and as far as cables they have 2!!!!!
Not that I'm aware of. Personally I think you'd be better off using a USB card reader instead. It'll be a) faster than connecting the camera directly and b) not run your battery down just to transfer files. As a rule I avoid connecting the camera to the computer and recommend that practice when the subject comes up.
