Made Sturdy: Can mount on car going 70 MPH!
on March 16, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
This suction cup accessory for your GoPro is a great way to get some fantastic shots without having to lay on the hood of your car to get the perfect footage. The camera easily mounts to the suction cup accessory, and it will for a strong bond... strong enough to hold on going 70 MPH down the highway. As a filmmaker, I use the GoPro for scenes that would be impossible to capture with a regular cinema camera rig.

Save Money: Put your SSD in a USB 3 enclosure!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I took my 240GB SSD which was made to be installed internally in the computer, and I installed it into the USB 3.0 case so I could take it on the road with me. The interface is very fast, and it's incredibly easy to install. Anyone can do it. It's much cheaper than buying a regular USB SSD drive. You can't beat the price!

AMAZINGLY FAST: Blows away traditional SSD's.
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: GadgetGuy
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently built a new PC using state of the art components. It features an Intel i9 Processor, 2 NVidia GTX 1080s, 64GB of DDR4 RAM, liquid cooling, 2 Samsung Evo SSD's, and last but definitely not least, the Samsung 960 EVO 250GB Internal M.2 PCI Express, capable of speeds up to 3200MB/sec!! It blows away the traditional SSD speed of 600MB/sec!! I can turn on my computer, and it boots into Windows 10 in less than 6 seconds! I can literally play any game at maximum graphics settings, and with my new Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD, it runs faster than any computer I've ever used before. If you're looking for a MAJOR speed boost, and your motherboard is capable of supporting M.2 SSD drives, don't hesitate to buy this M.2 SSD. The speed boost you get is absolutely amazing! The M.2 SSD is about half the size of a DDR4 desktop memory module. If you're going to build a computer, build a BEAST! Get the Samsung 960 M.2 SSD drive. Traditional non-solid state drives are completely obsolete now. If you want a computer that will crush the competition (my computer ranked higher than 99.7% of the 10,000,000 computers that it was compared to. Do it, get the Evo 960 M.2 SSD!!

Amazing Keyboard: The Letters on the Keys Light Up
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: GadgetGuy
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I previously owned a keyboard that was "back lit", but the letters were not transparent, so the light didn't shine through the letters, making it impossible to see at night. The Razer - Cynosa Chroma USB Keyboard is completely amazing. The keyboard can be set up to display any color you choose... literally any color. It's capable of producing over a million different colors which you can choose by using the included software. You can pick from amazing lighting effects, or you can use a simple, one color setting. The software for this keyboard has so many options... macros, turbo, color setting, brightness control, and many, many more. I can play games in the complete dark, since the letters light up, making them easily visible in any lighting situation. The feel of the keyboard is perfect, and I can type comfortably for hours. You can change the color of individual keys or groups of keys for a completely customized look. Most keyboards with the same features cost well over $100. This keyboard is priced amazingly low, and the quality of the build is very good. I love this keyboard!

The Best Gaming Headphones For a Great Price
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: GadgetGuy
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
After my old generic gaming headphones that I purchased at a large retail chain store stopped working properly, I decided to go to Best Buy to take a look at their selection of gaming headsets. The Logitech - G430 headphones had every feature I needed, and more. They are incredibly comfortable, the virtual surround sound makes your games come to life. You can easily locate the source of a sound in a game since you can easily tell if it's in front, behind, or beside you. The microphone is crystal clear to the other players, and the headphones produce sounds that seem to be coming from surround sound speakers. I have owned a number of different headsets, and I can say that these are by far the best ones I've ever owned, and the price is unbelievably low! I'm so glad I decided to purchase the Logitech - G430 headphones from Best Buy!

Even better than I expected it to be
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: GadgetGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I purchased this LED light for my Sony 4K camcorder, I expected it to be very dim compared to other photographic lights. I attached this light along with my Rode shotgun mic and I was amazed at the results. This light works the best when you are shooting in fairly low light conditions. You can adjust the brightness to suit your needs. It is great for filming indoors, as it lights up the entire room in the direction you are pointing it. It is very handy and useful for catching shots in low-light that you otherwise could not get.

I purchase this lens hood for my 4K Sony camcorder to help with sun glare when I am shooting early in the morning or in the late afternoon. It was incredibly affordable, and it is sturdy, and it gets the job done. It was an exceptional price for a very good product.

Very Fast 128GB Micro SD Card
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: GadgetGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this card to be used in my drone while I'm shooting 4K video. 4K video requires much faster data transmission to the SD card, so it is imperative to get a card that is fast enough for your 4K equipment. The original price on this 128 GB SD card was $300, but they matched the price of B&H Photo, and sold it to me for $67. I saved over $200 because of Best Buy's price matching policy. They are incredibly helpful and will price match anything on B&H photo's website.

Store important games, videos, music, and more on this Western Digital Blue series hard drive. Its 2.5-inch form factor makes it suitable for use in laptops or notebooks. This 1TB Western Digital Blue series hard drive runs at 5400 rpm for decreased heat and power consumption.
 

Will this hard drive work with an HP Pavillion 15 and does it have a set operating system or do I have to install one?

You need to check your motherboard's specifications to see if it supports M.2 SSD technology. It's cutting edge, so if the computer isn't less than a year old, it most likely doesn't support this technology. As far as the operating system goes, hard drives and SSDs have NEVER included their own operating system. You're buying a blank storage device. You can either install a new copy of your preferred operating system using the installation disks or USB drive, or you can clone your current hard drive and transfer the data to your new device. It's much too in depth to explain the cloning process here, but go to Google.com and look up how to clone a hard drive to a new SSD, and you'll find plenty of articles. If it seems too difficult, or if you're not at least an intermediate computer user, I recommend having someone else with the necessary knowledge install the SSD. There are a few thing that you need to know regarding SATA technology in order to properly configure your hard drives when you install an M.2 SSD, like the Samsung 960 M.2 SSD. I hope this helps and good luck!

Keep this rechargeable battery on hand to help capture special moments with your camcorder. Long battery life means you spend less time recharging batteries and more time creating special memories.
 

where can i get a charger?

I lost my charger and i need a new one
Hello, I just wanted to let you know where you can purchase the charger for your battery. Best Buy carries all of the Chargers for their batteries. I was looking for a charger for mine as well, and I found the proper charger. I then went to B&H photo's website to find it for much cheaper. Best Buy will match the price of B&H Photo, so I ended up saving a lot of money by comparing the prices between Best Buy and B&H Photo. It's definitely worth your time to research prices because Best Buy will match the lowest price on B&H Photo, no questions asked. This charger is available on multiple website, including B&H Photo, but you may as well buy at your local Best Buy and show them the B&H Photo price and get a better deal.

Is it possible to upgrade Gateway 1999 Windows 98 computer?

Unfortunately, every piece of hardware in your computer is extremely outdated. The motherboard and chipset are most likely 32 bit, giving you a maximum memory capacity of 4GB of RAM. The motherboard is not capable of a processor upgrade (at least not upgradable to anything produced in the last 10 years), and the speed of the motherboard is very substandard. Moore's Law states that technology doubles every 16 months, so your computer is literally ancient, no offense intended.. Nothing on the market today is compatible with your computer, and that's been the case for many years. The average useful life of a PC is about 4-5 years. After that, the current technology will have improved exponentially. Upgrading is not an option. You'll definitely have to purchase a new computer to keep up with today's software demands.
