My Computer Windows Explorer

At first it did not show a drive in windows explorer. I was thinking of writing a bad review, but then I opened Computer Manager/Disk Administration, turned out that the main volume on the drive did not have a partition

I'm happy with it, but sometimes it makes it impossible to turn off view file extensions in windows explorer unless I reboot.

This is one of the best nvme drives you can get from 2022. I can open folders and see previews in windows explorer on this drive noticably faster than on a seperate pcie 4.0 drive I have. I can't believe I got this for sub $400 on sale. I haven't ran into a scenario where I felt the drive was too slow or delaying me. i'm using it with a x570 motherboard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my SSD in the mail and have had a very positive experience so far since having my son help me install it. This is for use on the "family computer", and to be honest, we haven't upgraded in a LONG time. My youngest was insisting we upgrade, and my oldest insisted we build from scratch. Our previous computer still had a HDD which had EVERYTHING (our instance of Windows, files, apps) all installed on it. We eventually got a SSD to swap out some things to run off of that. This time around, my oldest got me to pick this up so that we could install Windows and frequently used apps on it. After spending the first week on the new computer, I completely understand why he had us do it this way! applications load quickly and seamlessly, no more long loading times where you think you didn't "double click" on something only to click again and open up two instances of it, no more freezing, no more headaches! My youngest is also loving it as he uses it for virtual classes and online gaming; he downloads the main game he's playing at the time (not all of them since we don't want him to hog it all himself!) and he says there's a noticeable difference in the boot up, loading, and exit of the game software. My oldest said that building the new PC for us was really easy (took him about 2 hours overall since he's a perfectionist) and installing the SSD was effortless: A sturdy piece that was easy to connect to the motherboard and build around. Working with computers often, he's said he's heard of other SSDs snapping in pieces when being installed, but that it was never a concern with this one. I'm so happy with our new computer and I look forward to the many memories each of us will create using it in the future!

My computer front ports stopped working with a Windows 10 update, and I could not get them to work again. But my rear 3.1 ports were working fine. So I saw this little unit, and bought it at B&H's low price. It's plug and play, and functions perfectly. I plugged it into a rear port, and double-sided taped it to the computer top. It has a power button that once turned on, never has to be used again. Turn the computer off, turn it on again, and the hub powers up with the computer. Perfect, and an easy fix! I can high-speed transfer to my USB sticks again!

My first NEW computer since 1991. My last new computer was an Apple Mac Quadra 840AV. I built my own Windows machines in the 90’s and 2000’s. Bought used Mac’s off eBay after that. 2007 and 2012 MacBooks. This is an incredible computer. I highly recommend it. Fantastic keyboard. Love it!

My office is in the basement but there are a few windows (the windows face north and are at least 20 ft away from my computer). I've had the keyboard for a few weeks and it has stayed charged mainly from the overhead lights. This keyboard has an excellent feel to it and having a separate numerical pad makes it a great replacement for the Apple keyboard that came with my iMac.

I could not upgrade the firmware from Godox through my windows 10. So after a computer professional looked over the situation said that Windows 10 would not recognize the upgrade due to the time Godox wrote the firmware upgrade. He used Windows 7 and the firmware upgrade worked.

I appreciate the washers and long thread for different vehicles. My Explorer has an angles bumper. So, due to the long thread on this mount and the nuts and washers, I can set how far I want to thread in and lock off. Super ideal for starting speed rail off of the front tow thread.

I needed to replace an older (10 years?) WD network accessible drive that was beginning to have occasional performance issues. These seemed to get worse as I offloaded data to other storage in prep for replacing it. I read almost all of the reviews prior to deciding on this one, especially the best & worst reviews. The worst reviews mostly dwelt upon problems with setup & transfer speed. What I discovered was the WD My Cloud Home app had no problems locating & connecting to the drive. That part was actually easy. The process for adding files using the app seemed a bit cumbersome though. Normally I prefer to use my external hard drives as just another drive and access them with Windows File Explorer, making my transfers manually. That was the only part I had any issue with. After finding some recommended steps in the WD community help forum, the drive showed up in Explorer and has been performing great. In fact the transfer rate has been much faster than with previous drives. Now I transfer files with Explorer and access them with the app. I like being able to access files from anywhere on my network. My previous drive could also do this but was more cumbersome and was more limited in accessible file types that could be played within the app. My desktop has a fairly large library of .flac format audio files that I can now listen to from anywhere in my house without having to convert them first. I was not interested in accessing my files from anywhere but home and even connect through a subnetwork to further isolate from outside access. Read all the reviews both good & bad but for me it works great. If there are any issues that turn up later I'll update.
