gets the job done.......2007-12-30
and is cheap. high quality cables are only required for analog signals, not digitally transmitted signals and you DONT have to pay a fortune.
Why Pay More?.......2007-12-29
Did a bit of research before I bought these cables. The salesfolks at the store where I bought our Sony XBR4 HDTV insisted you have to buy the $110 cables - nothing else will do - "why buy a great TV and lose so much by using bad (= cheap) cables" - etc. Most of the reviews said otherwise. I went with the folks who said you may as well give them a try; you're not out much dough if they don't work and if they do work you've saved a bunch!! Bought `em - love `em.
One note: we have a short run between the component and the TV (6.5 ft cable). Based on reviews and ratings, if I had a longer run, I would probably have gone with a different cable.
A fine alternative to higher-priced products.......2007-12-28
If you're not obsessed with high-end performance, you will be more than satisfied with this HDMI cable. The connection could stand to be a little tighter, but by no means do they ever come loose on their own.
Well made.......2007-12-28
These cables are well made, transmit the signal just perfectly for a 1080p with the PS3 blue-ray player. The connectors are well made and should last quite a while. For the money, these are pretty tough to beat. I have had others where the connector was a bit loose and had to get new ones.
Buy This, Save Money.......2007-12-28
Bought this cable to hook my PS3 to the DLP. Works great. Don't waste your money on the more expensive cables.

Great purchase.......2007-12-31
I am happy with my purchase and the time in which it was shipped. Thanks!
4GB...what's not to like?.......2007-12-31
This is 4GB of traveling bliss. I'm a college student and this will keep pretty much everything from my courses. If you're looking for an affordable mass storage drive, you will not be disappointed with this.
Great data stick.......2007-12-30
I love this thing, by far the best thing you can buy for mobile memory.
Affordable, and good quality item........2007-12-30
I've own at least 6 flash drives, and this is the one with the best quality/price relation of them all. The only thing I complain about it, it's the cap, but you can get used to the way it works.
Great Little Drive.......2007-12-27
This is a nice 4 GB drive, especially for the price. It comes clean, no preloaded crapware. It seems very sturdy and the purple and white color scheme is quite appealing. I dinged by one star because the cap is not attached to the drive. It will attach to the back when you have it plugged in (but not well if you attach the included string to the lanyard), but this is still a recipe for losing the cap eventually. That might just be me, though--if that doesn't bother you, this is the drive to buy.

A Sound Piece of Equipment.......2007-12-31
I purchased this product for my husband for Christmas. He has a large library of vinyl and cassette albums plus an MP3 player. He has been frustrated at not being able to load older technology until now. Since he has some background in loading the MP3 player, he was able to begin downloading via the turntable within 24 hours. The noise-reduction facility is fantastic. He played the newly loaded CD created from a cassette copy of a vinyl instrumental album that sounded like it was recorded yesterday on today's technology. Fantastic!
Excellent Hardware, poor support.......2007-12-29
I, like others am very impressed with the turntable. I was up and running doing my tests for different level of noise within an hour after installing Audacity and downloading an MP3 converter. I am a little disappointed that the turn table cartridge does not lay parallel to the record. The arm is actually twisted a few degrees to the left at the pivot end by the weight. I did email Ion but have heard nothing. I'll be attempting to shim one side of the cartridge to get it flat. Wish me luck.
I'm back to the 50's.......2007-12-28
I have been wanting to do something with my huge piles of LP's and 45's for some time now. I do have a jukebox, so I will keep most 45's, but the LP's I may sell after converting them to MP3.
I received the Ion iTTUSB for a Christmas gift, by request of course.
The day after Christmas, I installed the turntable and the software. The only problem of putting the turntable together was, I found it quite confusing how to balance the tonearm properly. Going to Ion's website told me where to download the Lame DLL so I can convert, exporting directly to MP3. That was easy.
Once I installed the software, and started to convert my first song, I found I could not listen to the finished project, the actual MP3, through Windows Media, something happened to the sound to my other programs, such as Windows Media Player, ITunes Player, etc. I chose to "restore" my computer back to before I installed the software, and removed the software, and then I got my sound back. I tried searching for and downloading another program to convert LP's, but that program (or the Ion turntable)also took away my sound. I again restored my computer. I re-installed Audacity, then went to the Control Panel and I found the problem and changed things. Many hours later, after searching, downloading, trial & error, everything seemed OK, and I prepared to convert my first LP. After recording the whole first side of the album, it was very confusing to split it and how to save the splits, not to mention to remove the noise from each split. I found many MP3's that I just made,had no music, and I ended up with only 3 songs as MP3, but they still had the pops and hissing. Getting a bit fustrated, I slowly converted one song at a time off the album. I converted all the songs, then used another program to burn to CD's. Voila! I have my first CD and gave it to my hubby.
Yesterday, I spent the whole day converting 45's. They were really easy and fun. I converted 68 songs off of a few of my 45's. Removing the noise was easy, you did have to balance removing the noise exactly, or you lost quality in the music, but "undo" was there and you could replay & listen to your project, make immediate changes, and undo kept you from making too many permanent mistakes. I have not tried any of the other "effects" you can do to the song,such as echo, fade out, change tempo, etc. as I did not know exactly what the other options would do, but I may play with it today, after all, there is the "undo".
My other complaint, is that not all people have space for stereo systems in their home offices, bedrooms, or computer areas to hook the sound cables to, and having to crawl under the desk to remove the "really short" cables from the back of the computer each time is not an option with me (it blocks from hearing all my other sound programs). I was not able to preview the songs. I would be able to listen to it only as I converted it through the software. There is no tonearm cue lever, or dustcover either. A remote to start and stop the turntable would be great, rather than stretching way over or getting up each time to start & stop.
Once I get the hang of splitting the whole album, I think this will be a breeze. All in all, the Mp3's turned out really well. I really love the chance to save all my music and humorous albums to MP3, then burn to CD's. I am enjoying being back in the 50's listening to all these fabulous songs.
I have a birthday coming up, maybe I will ask for the Ion USB Cassette converter, and a big external hard drive for all this music. ;-)
Why didn't I check the web??????.......2007-12-28
Ion Audio iTTUSB 10 Vinyl Recording USB Turntable with Audacity Software, Dust Cover and Analog Stereo Input I run a Mac OSX. I bought a USB 10. Spent an hour with software. Called and tech assist. said it was no good and sent me E-Mail. Tried it and static occurred. Spoke to two tech assistants who said it was a shield problem. Returned it to store.. Played the second one. Static again. Called again. Spoke to three people this time. Third one suggested I call Tech Level 2. Guy finally admitted they were having problems with Macs. Suggested I try lap top. I did and still more static. I spent about 8 hrs trying all this out. Why don't they all just admit it doesn't work with the Mac. Complete waste of time. If you are running a Mac OSX I suggest you don't waste yours. Happy New Year!
Great purchase.......2007-12-27
Item shipped quickly and in time for Christmas even thought estimated ship date was Jan 2. My husband loves it. Cost $25-$50 less than any retail store for same exact item plus got free shipping through Amazon.This was a great purchase!

Too Many Glitches.......2007-12-30
A lot of glitches:
Claims incorrect files sizes. An 8 kb graphic, listed at 64 kb, a 1 MB file listed at 8 MB, etc.
Open your webpage from the disk offline, yes, but try to reload it, and it loses the original link, and says the page (it just loaded) doesn't exist.
Works on Tiger with Mac OSX but not on Panther. Does not work either if the computer is offline, and seems to spend a long time trying to get an internet connection for some reason.
Don't recommend buying this!
Defective USB Port.......2007-12-28
I bought this hard drive a couple of weeks ago and after 5 or 6 times of use the USB Ports got damage. Both the USB Port and the cable that comes with the unit are very poorly built.
I tried to contact Amazon, and they told me to contact the third party seller (J&R) which told me to contact Wester Digital. At the end I was told that they could replace the unit but that I needed to take care of recovering my personal data from the hard drive using any of the partners they have listed on their website, which will cost up to 5-6 times the price of the hard drive!!!
I'm very frustrated with this. I can't believe no one (Amazon, J&R, WD) is taking the responsibility of paying for recovering the data from the hard drive. Losing data is a big deal they should be more serious about that. Probably they are expecting us to have a backup of the backup X(
I wouldn't buy this unit again.
Great HD.......2007-12-27
Very portable, very reliable, lightning quick, and lots of storage right in your pocket. Price is great, so light weight and non space consuming. No power source required so less clutter. Very fast (with my OS X 10.5 Leopard anyway) Backed up all my data and use it for my time machine back ups. Flawless.
Compact, neat hard disk.......2007-12-26
It's compact, it's cute, looks very nice. But actual HD size only about 112, which is a let down. When they advertise 120, they should provide 120 GB. Sometime you plan for 120 GB and if it is less, it can be a bad let down. Delivery was efficient, and both pc and laptop detected the hard drive without any problems. I have had it for only a week, haven't used it extensively, no complaints so far. Hope they send me the link again after about 2-3 months so I can give some real feedback about it then!
Get what you pay for.......2007-12-25
Great size and weight, it's almost perfect to move a lot of personal or work info depending on your field of work of course, many may need more space, but this is good enough for the standard user. A carry on bag or sleeve may be necessary as an additional must have for this small gadget.

Fast and very portable.......2007-12-31
Nice and small! Fast and doesn't need a separate plug and connection for power. Does both connection and power from the USB port. This brand is one of the top ones for external hard drives also from what I've read and hear from my techno geek friend. I only wish I had shopped around on price a bit more or waited a little longer, but such is technology. These are so hot these days it seems the price drops more every week.
Simple and Fast.......2007-12-30
I have had this 160 Mb drive for about a month now. I have used it without any hitches on three laptops, a 3 year old HP, a 4 year old Dell, and a current Apple Macbook. It is fast, simple to operate and I would recommend to to anybody looking for a backup drive. One good thing about this drive is that it is powered off the USB port so it has no power cable and bulky adaptor to plug in. The Macbook accesses the drive easily and can read any of the info copied off the PC's onto the drive and visa versa.
My only complaint is that I wish they had other colours instead of black!
Excelent but..........2007-12-29
There are basically 2 reasons why I didn't give this product 5-Stars:
1. The surface is very easily scratched; even as new, the product was already scratched.
2. The product came with a 10cm (4 inches or so) USB cable which is pretty much pathetic. I had to purchase a decent cable afterwards. (Which is like $2 at the most).
Otherwise, this is an excellent HDD for this price and if you don't care about those two points, I highly recommend it.
Good Product at great price!.......2007-12-27
After checking around, I found this to be a good product at a great price.

Portable Performance and Security
If you're still relying on your personal computer or back-up CDs or DVDs to store your digital content or vital personal or family documents, you're running an unnecessary risk. Your computer can only hold so many files and can crash at any time, leaving you helpless to access your content. DVDs and CDs have a place in archiving, but they get easily scratched and lost. It's too risky to store everything in your computer, and too time-consuming and cumbersome to have a drawer full of CDs or DVDs.
The Seagate Free Agent is big enough to store a huge portion of your digital content in a safe and secure environment, but small enough to let you take that content with you wherever you go. In other words, having the Seagate Free Agent is like having your entire computer with you at all times, but in a package that's a small fraction of the space and weight of your computer.
The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only measures 7.5 x 1.6 x 6.4-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds. The Seagate Free Agent lets you transfer files seamlessly from your computer via its USB 2.0 connection at a brisk transfer rate of up to 480Mb/sec. The drive delivers a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, giving you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely.
The Seagate Free Agent is ready to use out of the box with a PC, but it can be made Mac-ready in a matter of minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. This portable hard drive is already compatible with Windows Vista (as well as Windows XP and Windows 2000), allowing you to backup your content regardless of operating system upgrades.
At this compact size, and with this high performance, you now have the ability to take your data with you anywhere you go, so your digital content finally has room to breathe. A five-year warranty is also included, giving you complete peace of mind.

Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 250GB USB External Hard Drive.......2007-12-31
Order processing was fast and item received very quickly and exactly as described on the web site. Used Acronis True Image 11 Home to make a backup copy of the entire hard drive and was easy. Short time later hard drive gave up, installed new hard drive and reinstalled from the Seagate FreeAgent and was back up and running with minor delay.
Doesn't work out of the box. Don't buy!.......2007-12-29
Just purchased and it didn't work out of the box. Doesn't even turn on. Very hard to get support - there is not even a phone number for tech support in the manual, and the troubleshooting guide on the web site has dead ends with a 404 Error Message! I'd advise getting a more reliable product from a more customer friendly company.
so far so good.......2007-12-26
The only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is that I haven't had it long enough to know if there are any problems concerns. Otherwise - it is compact, very easy to use and seems to be good quality. Longer term use will prove if the quality is sustained.
thought is would be better .......2007-12-25
After connecting and I started to use as a backup, Seagate wanted to act as the primary HD, couldn't shut down or boot up my computer, had to pull the USB cable to disconnect, after getting the computer up I tried to backup but after about 5 mins it said that it couldn't backup because the drive was full.?? my data does not even exceed 20 gigs. I just packed it up and shelved it, due to possibility that if I sent it back for replacement might have all my data in it, couldn't take a chance. So I bought a WD 350Gig External HD, so far so good. thought Seagate was reliable equipment????
The best "extra" I ever bought.......2007-12-24
Ordered the drive one day, got it three days later. 15 minutes later had backed up one computer, unplugged it and on to the next on and the next. Wonderful , reasonably priced alternative to keep the stuff from all my computers. Way to go Amazon...

Apple Mac OS X 10.1.2+ --- Erase U3, Reformat, Name --- Good to Go.......2007-12-29
I don't own the 4 GB. I own the 2 GB which identical except for capacity.
My review is for Apple OS X 10.1.2+ users who may want one. SanDisk's website and most sellers, say it is only for Windows. I emailed SanDisk's technical staff. You can use it on OS X 10.1.2+, but you can't use the U3 programs. Incidentally, many PC users neither want nor use U3 either.
You need a PC friend to download the little program from the SanDisk website that deletes U3 on your SanDisk in his USB port. Then, use your Mac's Disk Utility to Erase Free Space, Name and Volume Format in Mac OS Extended (journaled) for full storage capacity. Well worth the effort. The SanDisk is good looking, functional and nearly bulletproof. It's MUCH easier than it sounds. Just go step by step.
I did this and it works beautifully with my iMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11!
If you have a new Intel Mac, you don't even need a PC friend.

Great little flash drive... I hook it to my key chain and have it whenever I need it. Haven't used the U3 technology yet, but will set it up after the holidays.
USB 4GB flash drive.......2007-12-20
Nice product, looking-forward to 8GB from SanDisk. I like the retractable connector, but it is tight-fitting for older USB ports; don't know why. The included software seems like a good idea, and can be deleted. The company needs to do a better job explaining how, because it seems there are some possible problems you could cause yourself. I bought one each of these for the research team, and it makes backup much easier to know they have most of their user files locally stored. I'm traveling between multiple offices and using multiple platforms, and now I just keep everything on the stick and do a tar cvf archive.tar whenever I'm on the main office machine. Nice look, nice feel, very nice!

Customer Reviews:
Don't believe the doubters about power consumption issues.......2007-12-31
All good reviews, but don't believe the issues with power. WinXP SP2 blocks the use of the drive because it thinks it draws too much power. But there is a simple procedure to override this (from WD site):
"Problem:
Under Windows XP, an error message of "Power Surge on Hub Port" or "USB device has exceeded the power limits of it's hub port" is displayed when connecting a USB device to a USB port on a computer or Hub.
Cause:
Under some computers, USB devices are only allowed to draw a maximum of 500 milliamps (mA) per connection from the USB port on the computer system or from a USB hub. Under the Windows XP Operating System, with the release of Service Pack 2, if a device attempts to draw more than this (500 milliamps), a USB port balloon message is displayed to indicate this over current condition. When connecting a USB device that draws power from the USB bus, a very brief over current condition is sometimes detected by the OS, and the warning message is displayed.
Resolution:
This message has no affect on the functionality of the USB port. The USB hard drive should still function correctly on the USB port regardless of the error message. To prevent the USB Power Surge Alert message from displaying, please complete the following steps:
Click on Start.
Click on Control Panel.
Double-click on the System Icon.
Click on the Hardware Tab.
Click on the Device Manager button.
Click on the + next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand the selection.
Right-click and select Properties on any listing that displays USB UNIVERSAL HOST CONTROLLER.
Click on the Advanced Tab.
Check the box that says: Don't tell me about USB errors."
This works fine, and the drive works fine afterwards. I suspect it actually draws less power than they say. Maybe it has a brief power draw spike on startup, but it's running power seems less. In any case, it works fine without the Y cable. I do think it is tacky that WD doesn't give the cable for free, since my $7 Sabrent 2.5" Hard drive enclosure came with a y cable.
But most likely the drive will work fine for you. It is a lovely quiet drive, and takes up no space at all.
PS I just tried it on my IBM X31, which is several years old, and it worked fine. So I think the power issue is really a non-issue, but if you really are worried about frying your usb port, then buy the Y-cable.
Nice.......2007-12-31
Great deal,
It comes with a cool software that lets you backup your computer files and settings.
Small.
Fast.
I have an 80GB HD. I compared it with this WD 250GB one,
the 250GB WD is even lighter than the 80GB.
That I liked about this product. I would buy more if I needed to!
If you're asking "Should I buy this product or not?"
My answer to you is YES, OF COURSE!
Great External HD.......2007-12-29
This HD is great for traveling with a laptop computer. Small, lightweight and classy looking too! I have seen some with issues in being powered by the USB connection, but have not had that problem myself. The speed of the drive is relatively fast - no problems from my perspective. The 250GB capacity is perfect to carry my large collection of digital photos and music wherever I go.
Nice but easy to be damaged.......2007-12-29
I tried many types of external hard drivers, and most of those were different brand names with non-original mass box. They are all sharing a major problem which is the safety of removing device from computer that causes sometime losing data. WD has the same issue which makes the whole component is made together "Hard drive and mass box" therefore had to be completely secured from losing data.
WD passport 250gb.......2007-12-28
This is one of the best external hard drive i ever been used for long time, I am always fan of Western Digital hard drive, and so far I got 4 of them, they all works wonderful, I just need another one with my new MAcbook pro-since the other using for PC- in order for running Time Machine but without any power requirement so this is the best with biggest storage, light weight and nice design in this line so far. It run perfectly quiet and compliment my mac so much.

Failed upon installation - Iomega replaced with a REFURBISHED drive.......2007-12-31
I do not recommend this drive, or the Iomega company. I bought it from Amazon and it failed immediately upon installation. Iomega's support states returns can only be made through them, so I returned it to Iomega and a REFURBISHED replacement was sent to me! I did not pay full price for a hard drive that failed for someone else!!!!!! I contacted Iomega again to return it for a refund, and they said I couldn't since I bought it from Amazon.
I am not risking my data on a refurbished drive. Now I have to try to make some of my money back by selling it on ebay, or elsewhere. I bought the Maxtor 750 One Touch (firewire) and have been very happy with that.
Disk disconnects unexpectedly.......2007-12-30
I am using with MacBook Pro and OS Leopard Time Machine. The message to the effect that "unexpected usb device removal data may be lost" will come up intermittently. This got worse as time went on. Decided to return the drive. The USB connector on the back seems loose.
A Great Hard-Drive (Especially If You Stand It on End).......2007-12-27
After using this product for a few months as portable storage and backup space for some of my larger media files, I'm extremely happy with its performance. It's small and lightweight, and the data writing and transfer speeds are great, so it's perfect if you need to transfer really big files from one computer to another. It's plug-and-play and the USB 2.0 cable comes with it in the box, so it should be no more trouble to hook up to any given system than a USB flash drive. Overall, it performs very dependably, and it looks great (by coincidence, it just happens to match the case on my computer).
One bit of practical advice: in my experience, the drive tends to run a lot cooler and quieter if you stand it on end using the little plastic clip-on stand that comes with it. It still works fine if you lay it flat (it's got little feet on the bottom to stand on and everything), but it will eventually start warming up the surface it's sitting on, and start getting a bit hotter. So, if you're planning to use it for hours at a time (which I've done without problems plenty of times), you might want to consider using the stand.
Iomega 500 GB external HD.......2007-12-26
Compact, 5 inches tall in its vertical saddle and 1-1/2 inches wide ... very fast and quiet; I am only aware that it is active when I see my Mac displaying the continuous backup feature (Time Machine) incorporated into the new Leopard OS10.5 software. It's a smooth operator!
Piece of junk.......2007-12-22
Unfortunately amazon.com wouldn't let me give it zero stars. Nothing worked. Starting with the AC adapter. Returned product and re-ordered the LaCie 500GB which works BEAUTIFULLY! (And looks so much better.) How Apple could have actually endorsed this product in tandem with Leopard is beyond me.

Good price for an Apple product.......2007-12-31
A typically good Apple product at a slightly lower price than in the retail market.
EXCELENTE.......2007-12-31
Para quienes usamos el ipod con frecuencia, esto es super util, lo recomiendo. Cuando menos lo esperas te quedas sin baterias, en un aeropuerto, en la oficina etc.
Work Excellent.......2007-12-30
Small adapter, but it works great, it charge faster then using the computer.
I had bought another less expensive usb charger but that one was so bad, been charging the whole day seems like nothing happen.
Well this one is little expensive but it worth.
Ideal device.......2007-12-14
Plug your iPod in (pretty much any model created in the past 4 years) and it will charge. Simple device, and for those that have a iPod that requires the dock connector cable, an extra one is included.
I had the previous generation charger which was larger -- this one is incredibly small and still lets you use the international changeable plugs.
You can use some powered USB hubs as well for charging iPods away from computers, but having the AC adapter is convenient for traveling.
The price isn't super cheap, but considering that the USB/dock cable included is $19 on its own, it makes the AC adapter only cost $10 -- not bad.
Not absolutely necessary for everybody. Perhaps I could have gone with a generic alternative, but would be slightly worried that it could blow up or something, and I also have some of the Apple international adapter plugs that work well with this adapter. In other words, the Apple white always looks cool and the small form factor is excellent.
Not a good value.......2007-12-11
I assumed that this charger would recharge my iPod faster than the usb connection on my computer.
But it doesn't and it's to expensive. I have seen third party chargers for much less.
