With budget level cables, the connectors are usually uninspiring. But this one is really well built and passed my Apple 4K TV cable test for UHD HDR signals. Good to go!

Needed a cable that would patch between my UHD HDR, Apple TV 4K, my Yamaha receiver and my Samsung TV. My current cable wouldn't pass the signal. This one worked great! Passed the cable test within Apple TV as well.

Replaced OCZ SSD

Had an OCZ SSD in my iMac and after about a year it started crashing. Rebuilt the drive a few times and then gave up and swapped to the Sandisk. Super-reliable, though not as fast as the OCZ was. I'll take reliability thank you!

Would not work with Macbook

Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked this RAM set up in-store instead of ordering Crucial which I normally use. Sadly, it would not work in my Macbook. Returned and got the Crucial RAM and it works great! Really not sure what the problem was, but may not try PNY again for a bit.

Fast Connection and Easy setup

We have an Airport Extreme in the upstairs of our home, but had trouble getting a strong Wifi connection on the opposite end of our home downstairs. Added this Airport Express and set it up to extend the network. Could not have been easier! And the discount on the refurbished version was awesome. Works great and no problems so far!

Well built and great sounding
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: TnVideophile
from Franklin, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very well built and easy fitting headphones that sound great. They block outside noise really well, so don't require a lot of volume. A little bulky on the ear, but you don't notice it after wearing for a bit. Typical for most headphones now, they have a bit more "low end enhancement" which colors the sound. I prefer a flat sound in my headphones, but it seems almost impossible to find in this price range.

Super reliable and fast

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've tried a number of SSDs at this price point as upgrades on Mac machines. None are as reliable and fast as these SanDisk! The 480gb is even a bit quicker than the 240gb, which is also great. Machine improvement is unbelievable on older 2008-2010 hardware, keeping them from permanent retirement!

Best value and performance

from Franklin, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
These drives are great! Adds new life to any computer. There are a number of SSD competitors at this price point, but the Sandisk ones have been the most reliable in my experience. I've replaced the mechanical drives in 4 Macbook and Macbook Pro laptops, 5 iMacs and they all just work exactly as expected with GREAT performance gains over the standard hard drive.

Samsung JS8500 Series UN65JS8500FXZA LED Smart 4K Ultra HDTV: This Samsung SUHD TV continues to push the envelope of high-definition picture quality, revealing brilliant colors and stunning scene lighting that goes beyond standard 4K Ultra HD. It's also capable of connecting with apps, browsing the Web, and screen mirroring with smart devices over a Wi-Fi connection.
 

Where can I confirm the specs on this TV? I need to confirm that this TV is 4k 4:4:4, 10Bit, HDMI 3.0, and 4k Blu Ray Ready?

Yes, this set along with the other SUHD Samsung curved sets are actual 10 bit displays. The only other flat displays on the market with full 10 bit and HDR are from Sony (930c and 940c).

Save up to 4TB of data on this WD My Cloud Mirror personal Cloud network-attached storage device, which features a Gigabit Ethernet interface for simple wired network connection. The 1.2GHz processor ensures rapid performance.
 

What is the storage capacity? 4 TB, or 2 TB storage plus 2 TB mirror?

This mirror storage device has two separate hard drives. The description refers to 4 TB, but that could mean 4 TB storage w/ another 4 TB mirror drive OR it could actually mean 2 TB with the other 2 TB being the mirror portion.
It has two 2tb drives in the chassis, for a total of 4tb. These are WD Red drives, by the way, which are awesome!

can this device be backed up to a cloud backup service?

I like the local fail safe feature but can this device also be backed up to a service like carbonite?
Yes, it can be backed up to other cloud storage. Comes loaded with the apps for Amazon's cloud and one other.

Raid1 configuration

I have read other places that if a raid were to go it cannot be replaced? Is that true i would think that is the whole benifit of configuring this as raid1 so if a drive were to go bad you can hot swap it.
Yes, it will hot swap if one drive fails. Auto-copies when the new drive is initialized and you are back to full strength. Faster RAID O configuration is possible, but of course much more risky for data failure.

How much pwer does it draw when idle?

Since it is always on, I was wondering if anyone had hooked it up to a meter to determine how much energy it pulls.
I haven't done a power draw test, but it does spin the drives down when there is no network traffic, so pretty low power.
