Xbox Cloud Gaming Data Usage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serves as my work-from-home monitor and is also used for gaming and watching TV when not working. The available apps cover all my streaming needs, the picture quality is excellent. There is also an option to use the latest game streaming services (Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, or Google Stadia [though this service has been recently discontinued]). The built-in speakers are even pretty good. Especially considering what you typically get with a monitor. You can also connect Bluetooth speakers and have the TV route audio through it instead. The remote works very well and has some quick launch buttons for the more common streaming apps as well. It may take a little getting used to, at first. Since it doesn't really have "input" switching buttons. Instead, you navigate to the different types of devices that you have connected (or apps installed). So, when you're wanting to play Xbox, you would go to the gaming section on the home screen and select either the physical Xbox that's connected or launch the Xbox Cloud app to stream games. My only real complaint with this monitor is that the stand isn't adjustable. I'd like to raise it just slightly higher. It is at a pretty good height, but I would like it just a little higher for my personal preference.

I don’t do any major work on this CPU. I do some graphic design, gaming on XBOX game pass, and some work. Great overall performance. Graphics struggled a little streaming Starfield with cloud gaming, but still very playable. I had an occasional glitch/lag but that could have also been the stream from XBOX cloud gaming. Everything else has been solid!

My Book makes me feel my data is secure and not dependent on cloud backup.

We were previously streaming through our Xbox One and looked into reduce our energy usage. Not only is the streaming stick energy efficient we also got a lot better connection and picture quality.

This is our second DS1621+. These are quality products that are easy to deploy and secure on the web as a private cloud. I highly recommend using this product's Active Backup for Office application as a cost effective solution to backup all of Office 365 and as a cost effective private cloud storage for large rarely needed data (like camera data). Host it yourself and save 10s of thousands!

I used this to connect a Xbox Kinect to my computer from a distance. Works perfectly. No flickering, no data loss. I was pleasantly surprised. Ps.: The Kinect has an external power source. If your device doesn't, get a powered USB hub, as advised in the specs.

You get to decide what data you want to access and how you want to access it and my cloud home does the rest for you you can access it anywhere from any device using the internet and the Wi-Fi signal

Fast and easy setup for a home cloud drive. I copied my data off my old device and now my new cloud drive is up and running.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using IronKey USB drives for well over 10 years for secure storage of sensitive personal data. Ease of use and compatibility with laptops and desktops with USB ports is a given. Good news is that this drive supports USB 3 and USB 2. The AES 256 encryption ensures data is safe and cannot be accessed even if the physical drive is lost. It is slightly smaller than a disposable cigarette lighter and has a bit of hefty feel to it unlike the others that come in a plastic case and are quite light (comparatively speaking). When plugged into a laptop, the device shows up as two additional drives - a DVD-RW drive with 92Mb of used space and no free space and a second drive that is not accessible. To use the device, the included software on what is listed as the DVD-RW drive is used to set up the storage device. The process lets the use set up a password/passphrase and makes the storage accessible. This process makes the drive really secure but the other side of the coin is that the drive cannot be shared unless others also install the included software on their laptop/desktop. So, not the ideal device for casual sharing of content but for secure transfers and retention of sensitive data, this is perfect. There is no way to accidentally lose the data. The included USBtoCloud capability connects the physical USB storage to cloud storage such as OneDrive, Google drive, Box, etc. This cloud connection is available for 5 years after which a paid subscription is needed. I did not set this up as the USB includes personal financial data which I do not want to store in the cloud. Otherwise, this option is really useful. Your data remains accessible on the cloud even if the physical drive is lost. Overall, a solid drive that ensure safe and secure storage of data with cloud backup option for additional flexibility
