Good low cost storage
on January 16, 2016
Posted by: WatertownTechGuy
from Delafield, wi
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: Inexpensive USB 3.0 storage, Runs cool and quiet.
Cons: Kinda slow, not as fast as the USB 3.0 port can go. Best for unattended backups. Wouldn't recommend using as a program drive.

Great 3d movie

For animated movies the 3d in this movie is excellent. Having a blu-ray 3d version gives it extra crispness to the graphics.

Really works on hard and carpeted surfaces
on May 5, 2014
Posted by: WatertownTechGuy
from Delafield, wi
Verified Purchase:Yes
Really cleans various surfaces and has wheels that extend from the bottom to go from hard to carpeted floors. The user interface is really simple almost too simple. Just charge it up and let it go. If it is in the middle of cleaning and the battery gets low it will stop and return to its base to charge up. NOTE: If it is blocked from returning (nosy dog gets in the way for example) it may get lost and then it will try to maneuver around d the blockage and if it still gets blocked it stops and powers down. There is a software update from neato for the unit that we have not applied yet via its USB port.

Why wont this drive recognize in my 2015 GMC SIERRA?

Try formatting it with FAT file system first. Some entertainment systems do not recognize FAT32.

Cut the cord while still enjoying broadcast TV with this SiliconDust HDHomeRun CONNECT Dual tuner. The 1080i definition creates a crisp, high-quality picture, and you can watch shows on up to two TVs at once. The HDHomeRun App, that can be installed on a wide range of smart devices allows you to record and pause live TV.
 

Can you use this with DirecTV now, Hulu live, Sling or any IPTV app to record & pause streaming movies and TV shows and view on your televisions. I have an HD ota antenna. Streaming company dont offer local broadcast tv in my area.

This is the OTA (Over The Air) version tuner. It is meant to receive broadcast HDTV. HDHomeRun does make a cable TV version but it requires a "access card" provided from your cable provider.

Speed up your compatible Android smartphone or tablet with this SanDisk Ultra Plus microSDHC memory card, which can be set to automatically offload files from your device's internal memory for peak performance. The 16GB of memory offers spacious storage.
 

How many songs does this hold? Do memory cards wear out?

The number of songs it can store is dependant on the amount of compression used when creating that song.

Yes, memory cards do wear out. Flash memory has a limited number of changes that can he made to it before it is rendered unusable. The specific number of changes is manufacturer specific. Also flash memory is sensitive to cold weather.

Non-App inferface?

Can the WeMo switch be controlled from a Windows/Linux computer via web (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc) or SSH? I'd like to use in conjunction with an automated process that can be run from Windows or Linux to power cycle devices.
No wemo does not directly support that. But I have heard of people controlling it from a virtual android device. Insteon devices are better suited for automation with apps like eventghost or telnet scripts.

Would this be capatible with a Hitachi deskstar HDT725040VLA360 hard drive

It is also a SATA drive with the same dimensions. Confirm your computers BIOS supports very large drives before purchasing. Also note drives as large as these may take hours to format for the 1st time.
