Good case

This is a good case that I do like. The clear case allows you to show off your iPhone 6 Gold color with pride. It would help to be made of less slippery material. It would also offer more protection if it were thicker and softer, although that might add to undesirable size, weight, and cost. Therefore, a "Good" rating seems appropriate.

Excellent Sony TV!

Excellent Sony TV! Why pay for a smart TV when you do not need it? The money I saved allowed me to buy an iPad and I sit on the sofa with it. I can surf on the tablet and it does way more. No need for web on the TV when it is in my lap. TV picture is great and it plays media off a USB drive - that is a plus. Smart person preferred over smart TV ;-). I guess with comments like these, Samsung would gladly give me a free Smart TV just to make me shut-up!

Good small hard drive

This hard drive is a good portable drive that is small and light weight. The capacity is just o.k. but that's what you choose based on price. So far no problems. I have not benchmarked the performance as of yet, but you do not get a portable for blazing speed - you get a portable for size and weight. Overall - you get what you expect and maybe a little more since the price of the drive was not bad.

Only @ Best Buy Connect Google Chromecast to audio systems with this Toslink to mini Toslink cable. Connection options extend to surround-sound receivers, digital-to-analog converters and sound bars for enjoyable audio when streaming movies and music. This Toslink to mini Toslink cable measures 6 feet to meet various home audio setup needs and has copper connectors for optimal signal transfer.
 

Is this the same as a digital audio output cable. I need it for my tv to connect my sound bar.

Generally, the digital audio output cable would be a Toshlink to Toshlink cable and not the mini-Toshlink that is associated with this product. Actually, for digital signal, it can also be a coax cable, but most modern systems now use either the optical Toshlink cable or HDMI cable to transmit digital audio signal, or, in the latter case, audio and video signal. Of course, there is also the analog connections as well, but the digital is the route to go if your equipment is capable.

Could I plug this into my iPad and connect it to a sound bar?

No. The iPad does not have optical outputs. Although, if you were streaming to another device that does have optical outputs, like a Chromecast, then it would work, but I do not think that is what you meant. If you want to connect your iPad output for sound to be played on a soundbar, please consider getting a soundbar with BlueTooth(tm) capability.

Can I use this as a working external hardrive?

I am a CPA and have multiple companies QuickBooks Enterprise files saved in a Dropbox Folder which I work off of. I want to transfer my "working" copies of QuickBooks Enterprise to WD Passport and back up to DropBox but don't know if the WD works as an extended hard drive that I can work off of and it is saved in real time rather than having to start a back up process after I am finished with each company file. Please let me know.
You should be able to work off of this hard drive as long as it is attached to the computer through the USB cable. It looks from Windows no different than a second hard drive.
