Windows Update Locked My Computer

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!

This really sped up my computer hugely. I sometimes run virtual machines on my computer, and with this my virtual machines run so quickly. It's a big difference from when I had different storage in my computer. One other nice thing is you can update the firmware without Windows. I use Linux, and it really helps to have firmware you can update without needing Windows;

[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 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 use this to make system images on Win 7 Pro... before I do windows update (just to be safe, because, you know, microsoft).  Priced right and works for me.  Generally takes two of these to make a system image of my C: drive with 115 GB on it.  Good safety net.

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 recently upgraded the OS on an old Windows laptop from Win 7 to Win 8.1.  After the update, I found that the SD card reader in the laptop no longer worked.  A BIOS and/or driver update was needed, which the manufacturer no longer supported. This SD to USB reader came to the rescue!   Transfer speed is excellent.  It is also fully compatible with my UHS-I SD cards and USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. Highly recommended and five stars!

I like the idea of being able to update firmware and make changes to a lens. The software for the USB Dock requires a computer with Windows 7 and newer although I have the previous version, Windows Vista. The download went fine and the software seems to work with Vista. The firmware of my 18-300mm lens was up to date. I played around with the focus settings but have not made any final settings. Very easy to go back to the default settings. I plan to buy other Sigma lenses that this will work with.

I just plugged things in and it worked. The bios is simple enough to navigate. It was able to update all of its own drivers through Windows update. Make sure to follow the QR code on the box to get a PDF of the manual; the quick-start guide that's included in the box is pretty inadequate. (Doesn't tell you which DIMM slots to start with, or how to access the m.2 ports.)
