Way overpriced for a not high-quality culture that soon got spoiled after a couple of use.

Too bad I was not able to return it ~

Run!  Don't walk away from this product, run!  I made the mistake of being a maiden purchaser of this product direct from the manufacturer.  Had to wait 6 months past the original delivery date due to manufacturing hick ups, understandable with new products, but when I finally received it, had it replaced once, spent hours trying to reach their non existent customer service, had it working for a week or so, then gave up.  Absolute worst company I've ever dealt with.  I've had it on my wall for two years now as a very expensive door bell button.  Even that gave out this week, and I just threw the garbage out.  Just ordered a new doorbell from Amazon.

I'll never buy from Sandisk again.  This player worked about 5 minutes, at the max, & then went belly up.  Now I get to go through the hassle of return, reasoning, trying to get a refund etc. I should have payed attention to the negative reviews before buying this piece of trash.
BEWARE!!! This mp3 player is junk!!!!  If I could have, I would have given it a zero (0).

Please, do not buy this. My partner and I almost broke up over this device, after spending 2 days trying to fix it. I even had my Asperger's friend (who is very good with computers) try and fix it, and he did not know what to do! I think the person that made this product should have a World Book thrown at them, HARD! This device is extremely unreliable, it regularly drops off-line, is slow and has corrupted my internet settings twice, and lost my partner her entire music library! I can't belive we paid for something that has caused this much pain and distress. Also, the advertised remote access is the biggest sham since they had heart surgeons in the 1950's advertising for cigarettes as a way to reduce stress levels, and that they didn't give you cancer. Not only do you have to pay a monthly fee, they want to tell you what you can share. I thought we lived in a free country. Worst of all, the only reason we bought it in the first place was to share stuff between two computers in our own home, thought they only banned that in Tasmania and China.

Stay away from this product. They pay for reviews, rather than make a good product

I purchassed two of these in the last month. Both worked great for the first few days, but then began to overheat and crash with even light bandwidth useage. Now one is completely dead, and the other is totally unreliable. Needless to say, they will soon be on their way back to Amazon!

Do your homework and AVOID this product. I've had great luck with Linksys products, but this one is certainly a DUD! As hundreds of reviews and discussion boards from around the web will attest, the AE2500 is prone to overheating and has an an alarmingly high failure rate. If you get one of the very few that perform as expected, consider yourself lucky. If you do buy this, be prepared to deal with a steady stream of disconnects, followed by increasingly frequent device 'crashes', and then a complete early death of the adapter. Take a look at the discussion boards at Cisco/Linksys, and you'll see an endless string of "Oh, it must be your computer..." brush-offs and never-ending "try this" "try that" tactics to avoid ANY hint of a KNOWN issue with the device.

These drives are terrible.  My wife's died yesterday, swallowing up her Time Machine backup, and several folders worth of unique data.  Fearing that what happened to her might happen to me, I started making duplicates of content from one external drive to the voluminous backup on my FreeAgent GoFlex.  Overnight, as the transfer was occurring, the drive "unplugged" from the system, and suffered the same fate as my wife's. It just... died.

When we plug the drives in, there is a clear rotational imbalance as the drives speed up.  The unit seems to literally undulate as you hold it, as if magnetically attracted to something nearby.  If you plug them in, they fire up, but the Mac cannot read them. They also run EXTREMELY hot, especially when transferring data.

These drives are garbage.  Stay far, far away.  After never experiencing drive failures before, we all of a sudden had two of the same product fail within 24h of each other, on two separate computers.

I bought this device and it exploded and burned me on the level 2 setting! The reason I found out (after talking to the company) is that it DOESN'T work at high elevations!!!  I live in Denver, CO at 5300ft and it is non-functional!  When I spoke with the company they were rude and said to go and return it...no offer compensate my burnt skin or troubles! Instead they put the onus on me to box it up, pay for shipping, and thus getting about 80% of my money back!  Stay away from these ripoff arists!

This ex-gadget now goes back to its original 0-star status (sorry, I couldn't select 0 stars, but that's what I would give it at this point).

After only three days, this thing DIED!!! I worked well for three days, but now it is just a thumb-size piece of junk. Don't buy it!!! Below are my previous two reviews of it, now both history.

===========================================

This product now gets 5 stars from me, but for some reason I can't change my previous 1-star rating, please judge accordingly.

I wrote the following negative review before spending almost an hour figuring out how to use it. In brief, when you plug it in to a USB port, Windows (Win7 Home Premium in my case) finds it and installs the software/driver for it. Then, when you right-click on the speaker icon in the Tray (Notification area) and then click on Playback devices, you will see two speaker icons in the "Sound" dialog box instead of the former one. Now here's the important part: you've got to right-click on your PC's native speaker icon (in my case Realtek High Definition Audio) and then click on _Disable_, after which the older icon will become grayed out. (I've posted a screenshot at [...]  If you don't do this, both adapters will fight for dominance and you'll get a howl or horrible sound pulsations in your ears when you plug in your earphones to the jack in the USB adapter. Next, make the "Generic USB Audio Device" speaker icon the default by right-clicking and choosing "Make default" from the options. Then you can adjust the sound in your earphones by right-clicking on the icon and choosing Configure. Finally, click on OK to finish the setup and exit the Sound dialog box. I wish they had included instructions with this gadget; it would have made things really easy. By the way, the sound in my earphones, after setting this up properly, is great, much better than from my original sound adapter, when listening to sources that incorporate multi-speaker sound sources, so I fully recommend it.

===================================

My previous (original) review, which should now be disregarded, is as follows:

This little "adapter" that gets such glowing reviews from other users will not get one kind word from me. I've done the following repeatedly and always get the same non-results: I plug the adapter into a front USB port. The Win 7 system installs the software and says it is ready for use. I plug my stereo earphones plug into the earphone-designated jack in the adapter. Result: I get nothing but squeals, and LOUD electronic echoing noise from my earphones!!!!! There are no setup instructions from the mfr. (HAHA! They imply that none are needed!) Well, I for one can't get this thing to work, but I've done just as everyone else says they did -- Plug it in, plug in your earphones and sit back and enjoy the wonderful sound. THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED!

Does anyone have any words of wisdom for this problem? Some specific setup and adjustment instructions would be helpful, but there aren't any!

Can anyone offer any help?

0 Zero stars ! This product not only sounds terrible with the cheapest earbuds ever to dishonor good music but also this product is a security risk to any Bluetooth hardware paired with it. It dials out on its own without warning who knows where it's calling to and what it's transmitting but today when folks keep so much information on their phones I wouldn't trust this product anywhere near my network. Forget it this product is a total bust.
Also they won't allow me to return it for a refund maybe I'll let my dog use it as long as he doesn't bring it inside. This product is less than worthless and may actually be a hazard to your personal information security.

Warning:  Stay AWAY

Purchased this from another online retailer

When i first opened the package my windows 8.1 64-Bit USB 3.0 slot did not read it.  Took it out and put it back in.  Now the computer started reading it.  Then it dropped out.  Then this looped until I yanked it out.

Thought it was maybe not getting enough power.  Same thing on another USB 3.0 port.  Tried on my laptop.  Same thing.

strange thing on USb 2.0 port had no issues.  Windows asked if I wanted to scan the drive and repair.  I was like what.  So I got it to work.  Put movie on it and slapped it into my WD player.  Left it that way for about 1 month.

Wanted to put more movies on my WD.  Darn thing kept crashing my computer.  I tried returning it to vendor but they only have a 14 day return policy.  I wanted to do an exchange but they said no.  So I RMA'd with PNY.  PNY wants me to pay shipping to them for something that didn't work out the box.

Not very excited about this.  The only reason I purchased this was i have the 32Gb version and I never had 1 problem.

Hope this helps.  Maybe I have a lemon.

______________________________
3/14/15:
Got around today to open up the RMA PNY sent me. Was transferring 5 video files and what do you know,  the drive dropped off.  The drive is doing the same thing.  Going to put in a charge back with AMEX.

Don't buy!

Stay away from this product.  They automatically sign you up for an automatic renewal and just start charging.  Here is the problem, they do not ask for a positive confirmation (hence automatic renewal) so if there is a problem with the email or it gets caught in a spam folder your are on your own.  I have tried working with them to get a refund.  Been on hold for the last hour.  Buyer BEWARE.

do yourself a favor and step away from this item!!! find another tv to purchase....

i treated myself to this little tv  for my bedroom in June.  i rarely watch tv in my room, so did not realize until it was much too late that this television is has some real problems.  i recently had an unexpected surgery that kept me  home for six weeks.....that was when i learned that the tv rarely runs for more than a handful of minutes if i am streaming amazon prime or netflix.....i have also discovered that the tv will randomly shut-off, sometimes when working within an app, and sometimes just watching network tv.....also, there is a weird sound distortion that will crop up a couple of times a day (again, sometimes within an app, sometimes not) and i am forced to turn off or even reboot to allay the noise.

i would send it back if i still had the packaging and if i had realized the problem existed earlier.

i threaten the tv every time i turn it on and it turns itself off....i am buying a new television soon, but i am SOL on this one....it will go in the extra room and will only be used (with a warning to my guests) if i have visitors.

will never purchase a vizio product again.

Stay away. Selling a unit with a 2 year old map. The least they can do is update the  map prior to selling it. Now I need to cough up $65 more to buy an updated map. I'd rather rip it off the car and return it. The map also takes 1 minute to load from startup. Very very slow.
After 2 weeks of using it, it keeps freezing up on me. I bought this for my wife so I've been testing it out prior to letting her use it. If she was driving and this froze up, you know whats gonna happen. THIS IS AN AMAZINGLY USELESS thing. Looking for addresses is cumbersome. UI is ancient. It froze up on me while I'm looking for an address. Stay away from this garbage. I'm buying a different brand and model that comes with android OS.

I came from a XIFI Extreme PCIE soundcard hoping that the rave reviews were true.  It's now been 2 days straight installing and uninstalling the 16 and 22 drivers on 2 separate pcs (both win7-64) and the ACM mic is unusuable.

If you use the ANY of the Crystal Voice settings (NR, Echo Reduction, Smart voice, etc) it will cause the most violent reaction in your mic.  You'll get echoes, sound like you are underwater, etc.  If you don't use CrystalVoice the volume is so low it's useless.  I've even tried using a standalone mic with the same results.

I bought this card because my wife is a vocalist, thinking that she could use this to record her own tracks - what a disappointment!

If you have considered this card because of the ACM or you need it for recording anything don't bother and please look elsewhere.  Creative have screwed us with horrendous software/drivers which make the hardware just horrible.  To give you an idea of how much they don't care, look at the "latest" drivers released 13/7/13... almost 5 months ago!

I will chalk this one up as an expensive learning experience.  Please don't make the same mistake I made and buy this card
