Which color version is the best to use as video/images storage AND daily downloading/ uploading large files? Thanks

Not sure about color but you want the fastest RPM's 7200 or more drive possible for large file transfers. If you have lots of files you may want ot consider high storage deives that offer up to 5-6 TB per device. I have two of these 3TB drives in by NAS in a raid 1 configure and sore lots of multi media files about 50GB of video movies

Western Digital Green. But if you are planning on running applications or an OS in it, than Western Digital Black would be better.

It depends on performance you want. (Eg. concurrent users accessing files on the disk). For home usage, the green is always fine.

Caviar Green is the most cost effective and quietest for general use. Caviar Blue will provide a bit more performance at a slightly higher cost and increase in spin noise. Caviar Black is the fastest, noisiest and most expensive. Depending on how demanding your usage requirement are, how sensitive you are to noise and how fat your wallet is...it's up to you...though daily large file usage might suggest a compromise with Blue.

I've been reading so many reviews and can't remember where I saw the recommendation to use a '32 GB Card' for best or extended video usage. Anybody know what's best? Thanx!

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

Don't be sad, I actually prefer the 5.5 generation over the classic. I ended up keeping mine instead of getting a classic. Its much zippier in navigating, especially if you have a lot of videos and the click wheel works much smoother. All in all the 5.5 generation is my favorite thus far.

I would go with the 64gb version you can use the extra space and the price difference is not that great. The 32GB version does provide a backup of the system restore on a micro SD card not on the system. Even with this I would still purchase the 64GB version.

The difference between 2gb and 1 gb (I believe) is the time you have to record - 60 vs. 30 minutes respectively. The Ultra has a slimmer design, more color options and (I think) slightly higher quality.

Hi Itaya, thanks for your response. I've always known that this program can do much more than I've ever asked for ;-). I don't work with different layers, and the marvellous 9999pixels are just theoretical, as you can set this number before the final storage.I have tested it with just 1200pixels and ended up with 23,4MB. While storing this enormous image I noticed, that you CAN choose between several formates i.e. jpg., bmp., png. and tiff. I've never needed them before, but now the both of us know better ... Let's enjoy the exploration of this program which turns out to be a real horn of plenty! Hi Itaya, thanks for your response.

I use the red Hue HD with Skype and really like it for its simplicity (and because it works on my Mac and in Boot Camp). What kind of features are you looking for? If you list more perhaps we can help!

My husband purchased an orange that is similar to the blue and pink, but not linked anywhere... it isn't even on the vtech website... just the lesser version. I am wondering myself... I know the pink and blue are the same but for color, and that there is a lesser model out there... but what about the orange one that is, in style, like the blue and pink. Aside from what I see so far (internal storage capacity) what is the difference?

The classic 160GB. Huge capacity, great screen, easy to use. Wish is was available in other colors, but that's my only complaint. It's also quite a bit cheaper than the largest touch model, which can't touch it for capacity.

They both have beautiful color reproduction and both have a nice glossy finish.For durability of finish I don't know if there's a difference.I've had good success with both as far as data burning!I would probably go with the cheapest one ehin I repurchase!

I bought the 32gb over the 64gb for only one reason a $100.00 savings. I carry 3days worth of music and around 8 hours of video.not to mention all the apps. for me the 32gb was the right decision. Brian

Wouldn't it be great if WD published such clear comparisons! Here are a few differences from what I can tell - I'm sure there are more: 1. No netflix on this one 2. Default UI is a little different with favorite tiles showing up by default rather than scrolling options across the bottom 3. I can stream content to this one from other devices which is a little nifty. I don't think the old one did this but maybe so. 4. I can't set my favorite .jpg as the background on this one - previous one supported this. I'm sure there are other things.

I have used both an older version which I thought was easier, and I have used 10, didn't have trouble with color. Did you try reloading the software?

Not sure if you're asking about the size or brand; however, it depends on how much you'll be downloading &/or saving. My son bought a SansDisk Ultra 64GB because he downloads a lot of videos.

I guess for different scenes, the compression ratio is different. A smooth scene needs less GBs then a busy one.

I get about 6 hours of video before it starts overwriting the oldest files. I use a Samsung MicroSDHC 32GB Class 6 and it works very well.
