Great for Router or LAN Switch or Satelitte recvr

This is a great little backup power supply for those occasional power outages. I have a Xbox One, 4 port switch and 24 inch TV attached to this UPS. The APC brand seems to have better ac noise filtering and Ethernet surge protection which is a huge plus. For about $40, on sale, it's well worth the price for that bit of protection. I also have one on my satellite system and it works great for occasional power glitches if you are recording an event or movie.

Great Gift Idea for young and old alike for XBoxs'

Verified Purchase:Yes
For those who have children that play on the Xbox 360 or Xbox One or perhaps want to see some of the online content, games and or map packs; this is the least expensive way to experience Xbox Live, and some entertainment features on Xbox and Windows. This is not a 3 month membership or yearly membership card.

I purchased this as stowage media for my in car dash camera. It works excellent and provides about 24 hours of record time for the camera I use. I have purchased several of these in the past for my S-5 phone and my HD video camera and have had no issues. Great value for the price.

I purchased these as a replacement. These are light weight and easy to wear. They do not have the volume as I would have liked but the overall sound is excellent.

Good Movie

In the tradition of the R.L. Stine books, this is a good movie to settle back and watch in an afternoon. It is rated PG and may be a little too intense for smaller children.

Good Value

Purchased to use for my dash camera. The data write is excellent for money spent. The life time warranty still remains a mystery as there is no instructions as to who or where to take the item should it fail.
This is my 2nd purchase of this item from Best Buy.
Best to get it on sale at Best Buy rather than another office / electronics store.

Great Movie

A great movie with several great story lines. Goes to prove "seniors" do have experience and people skills that college grads have yet to acquire. An older person, played by Robert De Niro, remains cool under pressure through the movie without getting overbearing is a welcome change. Great Casting and movie.

Any Man is a good Sci-Fi movie for most any age. It does have a few intense scenes but overall a good mature family night movie and one for those road trips in the car with kids.

This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
 

Having a backup against a disk drive failure is great. Is this also a backup against ransomware? If my computer gets infected with ransomware and the files on my computer get encrypted, will the copies on myCloud also get encrypted?

If the files are corrupted, then unless you have some form of firewall / antivirus installed that checks your files before they are 'transferred' or copied; then the answer is yes they, along with any other files you may have on the drive will become infected also.

With a 2TB capacity and a Gigabit Ethernet interface, this WD My Cloud external network-attached storage device lets you easily save files via your existing Dropbox or other Cloud account and access them from devices connected to your home network.
 

Can It be configured as a Raid,using the usb port and a HD? I know with HD's they only last so long, what happens to all the stored files once the HD crashes. With online storage like dropbox , etc all files are backed up.

I do not believe so. You need to have a Raid controller hardware and software.

Work and play online with less interruption. This Linksys router comes equipped with technology that zeroes in on each laptop, tablet, smartphone and computer in your home, for a clearer, faster Wi-Fi signal every time you log on.
 

Will this work with Verizon FiOS ?

It should but you would need to call VZW tech support. They may limit the number of clients.

Can I remotely log on and bump my kids off?

It works for me. You can put timers in place to block or the easiest thing may be to log in and do a reboot or turn Wi-Fi on or off.

Is there a voltage/current control circuit in this flashlight?

No just uses battery voltage

Is the device grounded - 3 prong plug?

The one I purchased does have a 3 prong plug. I would suggest having your power receptacle ground verified if your concern is about grounding. If the receptacle ground isn't correctly configured or missing, then I doubt having a 3 prong ground chord from the UPS wouldn't be of any value or protection.
