Adding External Power Source To Solid State Drive

Solid state drive worth it.

I installed the Samsung 250GB Solid State Drive in my Lenovo desk-top computer. I moved Windows and all my application software to the solid state drive and all of my personal files to the internal disc drive. The disc drive is backed by an external disc drive. The resulting system is much faster. The installation went very smooth, although I had the entire system backed up on an external disk drive incase anything went wrong.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

Things great about this product is 1tb without no external power source.

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

This is an extremely reliable and easy to use Solid State Drive. Once initialized it's easy to clone form a Hard Disk Drive to this unit. Take out the old drive, insert this drive, and put your seat belt on.

Cost effective cable for migrating my old hard drive to new solid state drive.

Easy plug and play. No external power source needed for 1TB.

Build quality like you would expect from Rode, a definite directional mic that rejects noise from the sides and the rear of the mic boom. Designed for TRRS jack on Android or iOS devices. You do need to use an App that understands it had input options, the switching to an external source is not automatically supported by the default apps, favors the internal mic of the device.. ignores the external. Plus is while it draws power from the Phone its already matched to whats available, no ground hum or other impedence problems. It is analog, but metal barrel around microphone shields it from RF interference. This is a cardiod, not Super cardiod for pulling in long distance sources but is as good as you could hope for from a non-boom mounted camera mic. It makes a distinct difference which you can see in a recording wave form or track display in an editor. Sensitivity is about 20 dBm greater than my Rode Podcaster which is already fantastic, but intended for close up voice recording at the end of the Podcaster screen. So yes it is a mini-shotgun mic. The dead cat wind fob/wind screen that comes with it reminds me of a Tribble from Star Trek.. but appropriately inanimate. Its certainly better and less intrusive than an NTG2 with a long reach boom in front of a subject.. but gets the job done and conveniently fits in your camera bag, without power source, amp and mixer.
