The docking station works great with my USB-C equipped laptop. It was simple to connect both external monitors, all the peripherals and laptop. Additionally it gives me an Ethernet connection, that my laptop lacked.

This was just what I needed to clone my old drive. I just plugged the enclosure (with the new drive in it) into my laptop, and used the software I downloaded from Western Digital to clone my existing drive before swapping. It worked perfectly!

Powerful router
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: PjPj
from Colorado
Verified Purchase:Yes
To start off, the router works great. It is stable and has excellent WiFi coverage. Plenty of Ethernet ports and two USB ports are great features too. For many people this would be the perfect home router. My only real beef is that the advanced configuration options are sorely lacking. I realize that many people just want to plug it in and have it work. But I miss being able to tweak the fine points of the configuration. I found no way to block individual ports, or set specific channels in the 5Ghz set up for example. Why not include a wizard for people who want simple set up and still provide true advanced access to fine tune the set up for those of us who want it. I will probably go ahead and put open source firmware on it so I can configure it the way I want.

I replaced an aging 10/100 unmanaged switch. The new one is noticeably faster for internal LAN communication and those pesky network drops are gone. There is no setup as this is an unmanaged device.

Good first home security device
on November 24, 2017
Posted by: PjPj
from Colorado
Verified Purchase:Yes
Installation was fairly simple. The instructions were pretty basic, but more detailed help is available online. It took a little trial and error to get the motion detector sensitivity adjusted. I finally settled on the least sensitive setting. Anything more sensitive picked up cars passing by on the street about 30 feet away. Overall I am very satisfied with the Ring video door bell. I can check before I answer the door and see when deliveries are made even when I'm away. One slight negative is that by the time my phone alerts (via the Ring app) that there is someone at the door and I get the app open to respond, there is a significant delay. Often people have given up and are leaving by the time I can respond remotely.

Best blender I ever purchased

This is a very powerful blender. It's simple to use. I just press smoothie and walk away. When I come back I have a perfect smoothie. No chunks of frozen fruit, just a perfect smoothie. At first I didn’t think I would use the extra jars, but I found the jars and lids come in very handy. Another big plus is that it all is dishwasher safe.

Provides excellent protection for my phone
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: PjPj
from Colorado
Verified Purchase:Yes
As a long time fan of Otterbox cases, I didn't even look for alternatives when I purchased my new Galaxy S8. The protective case is excellent and has already protected my phone from a couple of drops. The case allows good access to the curved edge of the phone screen. The belt clip seems solid and holds firmly. However, I'm not thrilled with the side load (instead of top load) on the holster. It's really awkward to remove and replace the phone in the holster. Plus it's way too easy to accidently not completely lock the phone back in, thus the couple of times the phone dropped. So, I'm giving this one 4 stars instead of 5 due to the awkward side load holster.

On the PC, does it look like a regular drive? Can you open files directly, example word documents and excel files, and save changes?

Yes if you map it to a drive letter. Mine is my H drive.

Can you setup the system without the hard drive installed? I am purchasing and the unit. The hard drives arrive separately several days later, I assume at least one drive must be installed to set up. Will have 4 users.

I’m not sure but I think you need at least one drive in it to set it up. Most of the setup is formatting and configuring the drives. Setup was pretty quick and easy.

Full manual operation provides complete control of this Audio-Technica turntable.
 

When you convert vinyl to mp3 is the exact same sound quality?

I can’t say it’s exactly the same. The quality will depend on the bit rate and how much clipping there is. For regular rock and pop recorded at 256 bps or better, I personally can’t tell a difference. Although some people can. For opera and classical, I can hear a slight difference if I listen closely.

Does this work on linex

It should if your version of Linux recognizes USB drives. My Windows system just saw it (with a hard drive in the dock) as an external drive.

Will this drive work in a Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop?

It should if the Dell’s original drive was a 2 1/2 inch SATA drive. It fit in my slim profile ASUS laptop with no trouble.

Is this the Western Digital black drive? (As opposed to the green, red, blue drive?)

Yes, the performance drive is also called the black drive

I have a Spectrum/T Warner modem with 4 ethernet ports. I have the need for 5 connections. Would this be a solution? If so, does the switch actually plug into the Modem and could this effect speed and connectivity. I also have an Eero to plug in.

I’m not familiar with the Spectrum/ Time Warner modems. If your other devices work plugged into the modems Ethernet ports, then the switch should work fine too.

Nighthawk X4S AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Range Extender boosts your WiFi to the extreme with speeds up to 2.2Gbps. From your garage to the backyard, eliminate WiFi dead zones and extend WiFi range to hard-to-reach areas of your home. Add-on to your existing router/gateway/ISP gateway and get the entire benefit of mesh networking; one network name, seamless roaming and a dedicated backhaul.
 

Will this allow me to better handle more device connections? I don't necessarily need a stronger signal.

I don’t think this is the device you need if you aren’t experiencing weak signal strength in certain areas. What this device does is connect wirelessly to your existing wireless access point and boost the signal in the area where it is plugged in. It broadcasts its ID by default as <your exiting wireless access ID> with -EXT appended to the end. I found a nice little overlapping circles diagram on the Netgear support website that illustrates how it helps extend the signal. Hope this helps.

What happens if I live in a old house with no electric to a door bell.What or how does one hook it up then ?

You might want to consider one of the other models. Some are battery operated. This one (Ring Pro) hooks up to an existing doorbell transformer. Otherwise consider getting an electrician to install a doorbell transformer and fish the wires. (Fishing wire in an old house is a pain....)

Is there a monthly fee required for this doorbell

There is a subscription plan available that lets you store the recordings in the cloud (and share them when you choose). But it is not required. It still works via the app, you just can't save the recordings. The annual subscription is currently $30 (per year) for one device.
