Superfast and Inexpensive External

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this drive to be used on my XBOX One. The internal 500GB was too small. 4TB for under $150 was a steal, i believe i paid $129. Its super fast 7200rpm drive and USB 3.0 makes the drive very quick. Ive always had excellent luck with WD drives and media and only use WD in my devices. From a 6 year old My Book Live to my current My Cloud Mirror. WD is top notch.

Perfect Entry Level Windows Phone

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this phone as a replacement for the same identical phone. original phone's screen got cracked. The overall quality and ease of use was ideal for my parents. They came from an original dumb/flip phone. Windows OS is simple, easy to use and NOKIA phones are inexpensive and last a while. Phone has a removable battery, this allows you to carry an extra battery.

Perfect Upgrade, Great for iOS devices

Verified Purchase:Yes
I desperately needed a newer wireless printer. My old Kodak C310 did not support iOS devices. The printer is very easy to setup. Works like a charm to print from an iPad, iPhone. Pictures come out great on printer paper (gloss/matte, your choice)
Ink is relatively inexpensive too. Its an HP, ink is everywhere.
Buy it! you wont be disappointed.

Perfect, Secure and Fast
on June 4, 2015
Posted by: maz94protege

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been a long time customer of Western Digital. My current NAS is a My Book Live (Single Drive) 2 TB. Purchased this when i constantly lost data. Its run without a hitch non stop, fully powered for 3+ years now. The Upgrade for extra security in the My Cloud Mirror allows me to either keep a backup of the 2TB MyBook Live or just transfer all the data to the MyCloud Mirror (which I had done) Web and mobile apps work perfectly. My Dropbox is automatically backed up to the MyCloud Mirror. No need to get on and click to backup from the phone (running Carousel on iOS).
Quick Comparison:
Mybook Live is:
800mhz dual core processor
512 Ram (i believe)
Gigabit connection
Single Drive
MyCloud Mirror 4TB
1.2Ghz processor
Same Ram
Gigabit with USB to add more drives or backup capabilities
4TB in JBOD and RAID 0
2TB in RAID 1 (Same as before and faster)
New web based tools are supurb!
IF your looking for an easy to use NAS, setup at your home or a friends place...doesnt matter where it is in the work. This is dummy prooof (pretty much) and a big upgrade from the MyBook Live (DUO) lineup. WD does it again and is top notch.
(Speed obviously is limited to the internet connection its hooked to) I have FiOS 25/25 service and its blazing fast to connect to while away from home.

Purchased the same product 2 years ago, the clip finally broke after years of hard abuse, went back to what we know and bought another. The rubber case which surrounds the iPod is perfect, plus it has a plastic sleeve with a belt clip for added protection. iPod still looks brand new. recommend a ZAGG shield as well.

Waterproof, durable and a must have

Purchased this LifeProof Fre case because i needed an ultimate multipurpose case. Its truely waterproof, and shockproof to falls and drops. The case does take a good beating while the plastic screen protector is smooth and much needed. It does produce some glare in the direct sunlight, however a slight turn, angle movement and its no longer an issue. Highly recommend, i will only buy LifeProof cases in the future. No more knock-offs or Otterboxes for me. Lifeproof for my iPad Mini is next!

Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders.

Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility.

story line is awesome. Almost real as it may be the way future wars end up being portrayed. New tricks and maps are always a big plus. Was hesitant on getting another COD but I believe this is one of the best ones yet. Upgrading weapons and unlocks are a lot better than in the past. I never prestige, but have enjoyed online with this game more than the previous versions.

Boost your workspace with this powerful Dell 27-inch Ultra HD 4K monitor. Accurate color performance and 8 million high-contrast pixels make this versatile unit, which has a formidable 9mn response rate, ideal for graphics professionals and gamers. Enhanced with an anti-glare coating and equipped with an adaptable stand, this Dell 27-inch Ultra HD 4K monitor is an ergonomically sound choice.
 

can my xps 9000 with intel core 920 proccessor and ati radeon hd 5870 be enough to work this 4k monitor? any upgrades needed?

Your video card supports a max resolution of 2560x1600. You cannot run 4K with your video card. Your processor should have little effect if you upgrade to a newer generation video card. I'd strongly recommend staying at the 1080p range. To enjoy the 4k experience, you would need a faster processor and video card (basically an entirely new system) 4K in gaming can be very taxing on the components...not many games support 4k currently as well. If you just need screen/desktop space for internet surfing, music and office type applications, just upgrading the video card will help.

Look for a 1440p monitor if your just looking for a monitor upgrade. Ive added some monitors below for consideration for gaming.

charging cable

can I use the same charging cable that I use for the S3 for the S7
Yes Micro USB cables are all the same. Some 3rd party cables have bigger protection around the physical plug (place you hold while plugging in and unplugging). The only issue there is with cases, some cases need a thinner plug surround (like the Samsung branded cables). Other than that, they are all the same.

Can I buy the GSM Unlocked version of S7 without all the AT&T apps already installed?

I want to pay the full price for the GSM S7 but I don't want the AT&T bloatware. Is this possible? Amazon has the International version only.
No, you would have to buy the AT&T version at full price or when its paid off get it unlocked from AT&T. Fully unlocked from the factory devices are straight Samsung and Android installed apps. No carrier specific apps are on Unlocked devices.

Unlock

Can I unlock a unactivated device?
You could you need to contact the carrier the phone is branded under for instructions. Its better usually to just purchase the unlocked version so you don't have carrier specific applications on the device if you plan on never using that carrier.

Requirements

Now I have owned this since this past February and it turns out that my existing computer doesn't agree with it because of the mismatched performance so what is the best and most affordable computer/laptop that I should buy for this?
Did you get a new computer yet? Look for any Intel i7-2xxx processor or better (3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx) wither it is MAC or PC, both work well with this HD60...as long as it has the CPU power. Minimal Ram is 8GB (my suggestion)


You could find a used laptop on local classifieds for a few hundred, or a Macbook Pro with i7 (late 2011) is what I'm using, could be bought for around $650 off a private owner. (I bought mine brand new back in the day)

Will a 1.6GHz Mac desktop support elgato game capture HD60?

Or do I need a higher GHz Mac desktop?
No, anything less than an intel i7, i wouldn't recommend it. The i5 1.6ghz is so low power it may/may not work correct. You can certainly try it and return the product if it doesn't work as you want.

Keep in mind, only capture at 720p and 30fps. anything higher is going to tax your computer too much. I used the HD60 on my Macbook Pro with an i7 2.2ghz, but was again only able to capture 720p @ 30fps....
