NOT RAID!!! MIONET!!! AVOID!!!
on October 31, 2007
Posted by: JeffIllinois
from Peoria, IL
The previous reviewer must have bought the "other" My Book World Edition that had two 500 GB drives. This one DOES NOT. It has a single 1TB WD drive installed. The software is required to be installed on EVERY machine you wish to access this device from. The software is VERY flakey. (Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes disconnects during file transfers, etc..)
Seriously, ... I would avoid this drive like the plague. (I purchased it, spend hours dealing with it, and took it back. Too much hastle..
Best route to go that I've found. (Have one..) Is the D-Link DNS-323 and two 500GB WD drives. (Have set to RAID1) All of which you can get from Best Buy for about the same price on sale, as this single drive. Not positive if the 1TB WD's will work in the DNS-323, or would suggest that.
This drive only gets one star, because you can't give it zero... Would I recommend it to a friend??? I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy.. (Well, ... Maybe...) :)

What's great about it: 1TB, relatively fast.
What's not so great: Software required on each PC, only 1 disk(NO RAID)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

this is a good solid state hard drive, but it didn't come with the cable or mounting bracket !

You could have checked the specs/package contents.

You should have known this ahead of time. Most hard drives retail or otherwise, do not come with SATA cables. Most decent motherboards come with them........

This internal hard drive offers an ample 2TB storage capacity, making it ideal for servers, video surveillance and other demanding write-intensive applications. The IntelliSeek and RAFF technologies reduce power usage and protect the drive from vibrations.

2 out of 5Extremely noisy
By RayBan007

The WD internal hard drive is perhaps one of the noisiest commercially available drives on the market. I never realized how silent my Mac's native Matsui internal drive was until replacing it with this loud monstrosity.
JeffIllinois

Not your fault, but being loud should be expected.
April 19, 2013
1. Matsui doesn't make hard drives. Not sure who gave you that info, but your Mac more than likely has a Seagate or Western Digital Caviar drive. (Probably Seagate, though.)
2. This drive is a RE4 (Raid Edition) "ENTERPRISE" drive. They are not designed for home use, and when compared to the noise comming from the cooling fans in most of our servers, these drives are "quiet." They just aren't quiet enough to be in a home computer environment. From quietest to loudest you have the WD AV-GP, Caviar Blue, Caviar Green, WD Black and then the RE4's.
3. There is nothing about installing a hard drive that is worth $100. It is one of the easiest parts you can install in your computer. With the invent of "youtube" and other sources, you can easily find step by step instructions or videos on how to install your hard drive. Once you've done it once, ... you'll never waste $100 on installation again...

Probably just a BIOS setting.
June 26, 2014
You may have simply need to make changes in your BIOS. You probably should have spoken with an I.T. professional. (Not a kid working in an electronics store.. An actual pro..) I probably could have helped you solve this over the phone.....................
P.S. Compatibility issues really aren't something to wrong a bad review over... It's not the products fault that your computer wouldn't accept it, ... or that you didn't know how to set it up...

1 out of 5Could have been a great mouse
By Regelos
After a bunch of research I settled on this mouse since I want to buy something local and easy. I loved the mouse for about the first few days I used it and I encountered a charge problem. This mouse will only charge itself 10% of the time and on multiple computers will only do it after a restart, and even then inconsistently. I contacted support(within 4 days of purchasing) and I was told to go buy a new rechargeable battery, which just offended me because for 150 bucks on a mouse they should send me the part that was broken for free. After buying a new rechargeable battery it didn't fix the problem and since support takes multiple days to respond (I'm up to weeks now on my last response.) No go I've now decided to eat the 150 bucks and just replace it.
I will not buy another razer product again there support borders on rude and are completely non-helpful.

Wondering if we have same problem
December 3, 2014
Bought two of these and have the same problem with one of them. Not charging. Did yours flash all three charge lights the first time around? What did it do the after replacing the battery?

5 out of 5Works perfectly!

Works perfectly and it's great for professional gamers. WARNING: DO NOT PLUG IN A 3.0 USB PORT, IT WON'T WORK! Use only with 2.0 USB ports.

Shouldn't connect mouse/keyboard to USB3.0 anyway.
December 3, 2014
Just an FYI - USB 3.0 chipsets are not universally supported and usually don't have legacy kb/mouse support in bios either. On top of that, ... neither the mouse or keyboard send huge amounts of data in short spans, so you shouldn't have any need for them to be on USB3.0 anyway..

JeffIllinois's Questions
JeffIllinois has not submitted any questions.
what fit
tv nook is 32 wide x 30 ht, what size of tv lcd hdtv should i get?
You may be able to fit a 32" LCD/Plasma in that space, but it would depend on the specific model (mostly based on the size of the bezel around the outside of the actual display. The larger the bezel, the less tv you'll be able to fit in that space... (So you MIGHT be able to fit a 37" in there if the bezel is really small..)

i live in russia.what kind of TV will work in my country from your store?
Questions here are actually answered by other consumers. I do not know what the power requirements are in Russia, so we would need that information in order to answer your question.

TV flat screen
What does the stand look like for the 46" Insignia TV on sale this week? SKU # 9554519.
46" LCD/Plasma TV's do not come with a TV stand. They typically have a table top stand on the bottom of them for sitting them on a TV Stand or table, but dont' come with one. The item pictures should show the attached stand. If they do not, you would need to check the manufacturers website.

Does the stand come with the Mitsubishi rear projection tv's?? and if not how much are they??
Rear projection TV's typically do not come with a stand, unless it is hard mounted to the TV. (You can tell in the picture(s.))
As far as price goes, it would depend on how large of a TV it was, as to determine the weight support requirements and size of the TV stand. The price could range from $100-500 depending on the quality of materials you would be looking for, what type of surface (glass, etc..) and the size requirements..

does bestbuy carry dual voltage tv i mean 110/220volts
I would recommend checking with an employee in the video department at your local store. They would likely be more suited to provide that information.
Using the website, the only thing I would be able to do is grab every model number, then go to each manufactures website and look at the owners manual for each tv to see if it is compatible with 220V electrical systems.. (or 3 Phase...)
Most TV's; however, are typically only single phase (120V)

They are a VERY rare find anymore. I was unable to locate anything on Best Buys site that matches what you are looking for. Sorry...

where can I find a VVS Weather Forecaster?
I am hooking up a reciever to my TV and it calls for a weather forecaster, Is there any way you can tell me where to go for one
A Weather Forecaster is an "option." It shouldn't be asking you for one. If it is, I'd check the troubleshooting section in the owners manual, or contact the manufacturer...
