USB 3 is a lot faster!

Verified Purchase:Yes
These drives are actually useful now!!! USB 2 was SO slow, but I can now actually use these for sending rushes and deliveries to clients. Probably not fast enough to edit video off of, but great for back-up and archive! Grab 3-4 of them when they're on sale.

Great start to the new MacBook lineup

This computer was for my mom – she needed something more powerful than an Air, but less than a MacBook Pro. This did it! Would recommend 256GB or higher....do yourself a favor and just don't buy anything with 128GB or less these days. It's worth it to get storage space that will still actually be useful in 2-3 years.

To each their own – some people can't stand trackpads, but I love this one! Multi-touch gestures work like a charm and help me work a lot faster. I'm a video editor, and I can use this to scrub though clips faster than a mouse. Great jog wheel replacement for simple edits!

Cheaper than some ink carts, but still expensive
on April 26, 2016
Posted by: jcru
Verified Purchase:Yes
The actual product works as expected...kinda. I say "kinda" because the print quality is fine...but these seem to not last as long as other cartridges. Then again, it is tiny. My girlfriend's printer uses these – she's a teacher and prints at least 8-10 pages every day. I feel like they run out almost every 3 weeks. We've tried to shift to printing in 'draft' quality and that seems to help a little.

Almost perfect fit for the DJI Osmo (or GoPro kit)
on April 26, 2016
Posted by: jcru
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been looking for a small protective case for the DJI Osmo for some time...the soft shell thing that comes with it is pretty much useless if you want to carry around accessories. I bought a larger Lowepro backpack at first, but it was a bit too large. (I love the size of it though, and have used it to carry a Canon 5D2 + 70-200 around NYC without looking like I'm carrying something expensive, and recently used it to carry a C100 + 24-105, but I digress). Back to this little case – it fits the Osmo with X3 attached (kinda sideways), one charger (although you could probably get 2 in there), and at least 3 batteries (but you could probably fit 4-8 total). It can also fit a 6-filter pouch from PolarPro (filters that I would highly recommend). Until DJI releases an official case that's designed to hold accessories, I think this might just be the best fit I've found yet!
It would also work for a fairly substantial GoPro kit – I can fit a hero 4 silver, suction cup mount, enough arms/screws/mounts for 3 cameras, bike tube mount, tripod mounts, a dual charger, and a usb wall brick. There's a surprising amount of space in this thing!
Probably not useful for an SLR, but maybe a mirrorless with a small extra lens. Also, that front flap is useless...the main pouch actually unzips from the back, which kinda surprises you at first glance. The front flap protects...the front zipper pouch? I don't know. It looks like older style Lowepro shoulder bags which had that flap to allow for quick access if you didn't feel like unzipping the main pouch, but this one doesn't work that way. Not a negative, just confusing at first.

Reliable so far

I use these drives for sending rushes and deliverables to my video production clients and have never had an issue with them not working (knock on wood). For professional use, I do wish they were a bit more rugged & had more interface options, but this 'consumer' grade drive hasn't ever been an issue with my clients! I would recommend getting the cheap Insignia hard shell case if you're going to ship this drive for the added protection.

Needed an extra charger while traveling, same as the one included in the box. Wish the magnets were a little stronger, but overall works as intended.

Still a great keyboard!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always been a fan of wireless, but my Apple bluetooth keyboards don't always connect when I need them to. This one is much more reliable, and the wire doesn't bug me as much as I thought. Number keys and the usb ports are an added plus! It does come with a short USB extension too (that can only be used with this keyboard due to a metal notch in the port, but if needed, you can take a pair of pliers and bend it down so you can use the extension with other devices). I would recommend!

Is this drive fast enough to edit video from, using Premiere Pro ? thank you

Yes, if your computer has a USB 3 port. It is NOT fast enough if you only have USB 2. If you only have USB 2, look at a drive that has firewire 800 or thunderbolt (or SATA if you're computer has that interface)
