Lots of storage for the price. You can never have too much storage today. Built in security would be a bonus.

The trackR could not be located when it was next to the phone when I tested the service.
Needs to include a better hook / latch / chain to attach to items.

The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.
 

What is the difference between the 4th generation and current for the apple tv

The current Apple TV will stream movies purchased through iTunes and purchased Blu-ray movies with and iTunes code in 4K HDR. Well worth the upgrade if you have movies in your iTunes account. You must have an 4K TV with HDR support as well.

Can this drive be used to upgrade a Swann Security DVR. Currently there is a 1tb hard drive installed.

yes, It can be used but you would want to use a faster drive. 1.They make drives built for security systems. 2. I would use at a minimum a 7200 RPM drive.

As the name says, Its apparently for Desktops. Is this the case? Ive seen a lot of comments talking about NAS stuff, servers etc. I'm not too knowledgeable but I'm basically wondering if this would be alright to drop straight into my desktop pc?

Hi,

The HD will work but the drive is slower and designed to run 24/7. It is best for moving and storing data, not for running apps and games.

Can this be used solely as external storage or does it need to be used as a backup device utilizing its built in backup software? Also can it be partitioned and used as both? Thanx

You do not need to use the backup software. I use as another drive on e: drive on the system. I have never used their backup software.

Can this unit be operated horizontally instead of vertically? Or would this be detrimental to the longevity of the drive?

I lay the drive horizontally all the time. It does not make a difference. Its safer for me, in case someone bumps my desk.

If the led on the front of the easystore 8tb external hard drive is flashing while you are playing games is that bad or is it just loading and "doing its thing"

The lights are flashing when its hitting the drive. That's how you know its working.
