Great external storage solution for Xbox One
on January 7, 2016
Posted by: Ritt
from Pensacola, FL
I bought the 5TB Western Digital external hard drive for my Xbox One. It very easy to set up. Just connect it to your Xbox One using the included USB cable to one of the USB 3.0 slots in the back of the console, plug in the power supply. Turn on your Xbox One and wait for the console to tell you that the storage is ready. Reformat the disk. And your ready to transfer all of your content to this drive. Games take no time at all to load.

No more WiFi dead spots. The powerful Nighthawk DST AC1900 WiFi Router along with the DST WiFi adapter eliminates WiFi dead zones. Create additional WiFi coverage right where you want it. The DST Router comes with a year of worry-free set up and support from Geek Squad.

Best Router that I have ever owned
on November 4, 2015
Posted by: Ritt
I purchased the DST 7300 over a week ago. Set up was straight forward. Follow the directions in the owners' manual and it is quick and painless. Installed the DST 6501 half the distance from my router and the other side of my house. This setup drastically improved the internet connections, game downloads and movie streaming on all my internet connected devices #i.e., iPad, Blue-ray players, Xbox and PlayStation#. It is well worth the money.

High failure rate? Other issues?

This drive appears to be discontinued. I could not find it on WD's website. Anybody have the 411 on this?
It is no longer being sold on the WD website; however, it is being sold in BestBuy this is probably due to the current supply levels of this product. However, the drive is fully warrantied by the manufacturer.

Is it compatible with Xbox One and does it have an Australian power outlet

Does not have an Australian power outlet. Therefore, you'll need to purchase a step down transformer/power converter. If this drive was purchased in the United States the standard voltage is 110-120v. I believe the voltage in Australia is 220v. Therefore, you will need to buy a step down transformer/power converter to use this external hard drive in Australia.

Multivoltage?

Can it be used abroad at 240 Voltage?
Yes, if you purchase a step down power converter. The standard voltage for this external hard drive is 110-120v. You'll need to purchase a step down transformer/converter. BestBuy sells them and most electronics stores have them as well.

Will this allow someone 500 ft away to pick up internet or does anyone know how far of a reach internet can be recieved outside the home is?

It depends upon the router. Some have very powerful antennas that can push the signal further than other makes and models of routers. Also, the other thing to consider is this, the 2.4Mhz band will travel further than the 5.0Ghz band because it is a lower frequency. So, yeah, the 2.4Mhz band of this router will travel further outside of your home(500ft maybe). The 5Ghz band won't travel as far.

Can I eliminate my TWC Router?

If I get this can I eliminate the router from the cable company (Time Warner)?
Yes. If you purchase this router, call Time Warner and tell them you want to turn in their wireless router.
