Works well
on March 5, 2015
Posted by: HossBud
from Emmitsburg, MD
Overall works well connected to my VCR and my computer. I read some of the negative reviews that complained about freezing. The unit did have some strange behavior when I connected it to the front USB port on my computer. When it switched it to one of the rear ports, the problems went away. This device is powered by the USB port, so it can have issues if there are too many USB devices connected or if it is on a hub with other I/O devices. For those having problems, try to get a high power USB hub and plug that into your computer and try that. Make sure you don't have other programs running either, especially if your computer is more than a couple years old. The only complaint I have is that there were no cables included, that would be a nice perk, as trying to find an S-Video cable nowadays is tough.

This was the only case they had in stock for the Galaxy Tab 4 7". They had pink and a couple of blue ones, so I got the blue one. The tablet fits in perfectly, there are good cutouts for the buttons, speaker and jacks. I think a small clasp of some sort would be a nice addition.

High Quality

Posted by: HossBud
from Emmitsburg, MD
I bought this for a backup drive primarily. Time Machine works flawlessly, and it works great with OS X Yosemite, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Vista Machines on my network. Transfer speeds were around 18-24 MB/s, good NAS speeds on my network with an Apple Airport Extreme base station and a gigabit switch. I returned this unit, however as it will not back itself up to Amazon S3, the only option it offered was Dropbox, which I would need to pay $15/month for a premium account. Nothing at all wrong with the drive or software, just didn't do a thing I wanted. I wound up going with the Seagate "Personal Cloud" 4TB unit which has built in S3 support.

Cheap
on February 28, 2015
Posted by: HossBud
from Emmitsburg, MD
This little guy is low cost, which is always nice, but it's actually cheap. The USB plug itself is made of a thin bendy plastic instead of traditional metal. The top of this plastic plug had a bow in it that prevented me from inserting it into the port without twisting and turning it to bend it enough to clear the obstruction. Read/write speeds were acceptable. I only used the drive to create a recovery disk for a new HP laptop, so it served that purpose, but for everyday use, I would not recommend this.

No issues at all, the polarity seems to be correct, they fit perfectly in a 2006 Ford F150. Just make sure you pay attention to tucking the wires in close on the rear doors, the electric window will shear these right off the speaker if you leave slack behind the speaker.

I think these a pretty darn good, way better than stock. They don't quite sound full with just the power from my head unit. I'm going to add a 4 channel amp, and I'm sure they'll sing after I've done that.

Still learning how to use.

For a non computer geek the learning curve is high. Not even used the printer so can't comment. Thank goodness for my son that helped me put social media downloads. I am getting way too many e-mails from Best Buy.

Best Buy emails
September 19, 2015
There have been issues with the BB email company and requests to stop the emails. If you look at the bottom of the Best Buy emails that you get, there will be a link to "Unsubscribe". If you click that link you can request only the emails from BB that you want to get, or even choose to get none. It takes a week or two, but it will eventually stop. I had the same problem.

Perfect for Wireless Gaming (Xbox One)
By DBL1
My son asked for this for Christmas. Although I thought $100 was a lot to spend on a gaming accessory, it does have great sound and he loves the fact that he doesn't have to contend with wires. Would be nice if they could be used to connect to his phone for listening to music, but as a dedicated gaming headset, great product.

will this printer work with a samsung chromebook?
I can't walk you through it, but it looks like another person had the same issues you had, and there is a support thread on the HP site with instructions for setup. Here is the link(you have to add the http:// at the beginning because Best Buy doesn't allow links in answers).

Directv DVR recordings to DVD or External hard Drive

Can this be use to download Directv HD DVR contents to an external hard drive or to DVD's to free up space in my DVR and if so, where do I start and what equipment and software are required? Thank
Theoretically, it could do that, but the recordings would not be very good at all. The Dazzle isn't HD at all, I'm not sure why they put HD in the name, it can only capture 480p or 960i. Your DVR would also have to have regular Composite outputs on the back, which it might not even have. You didn't post the model number of your DVR, but you might want to look into something like this http://www.apricorn.com/product-support/dvr-expansion/apricorn-dvr-expander-for-directv.html which will just give you more storage as long as the model is compatible. Amazon has a bunch of options there, up to 4TB of extra storage, that's a lot of shows! You could even try to get a regular USB hard drive, plug it in and see what happens.
