Easy but Good Performance

I've been wanting dusk-to-dawn sensor lights since I moved in to my most recent house but couldn't find anything reliable.  The socket extenders got poor reviews online so I decided to look for bulbs directly.  I've had them for about two months and they seem very reliable.  I can turn my porch light switch on in the middle of the day but the lightbulbs won't come on til mid-to-late evening.  One of the nice features is that they don't get upset by turning the light switch on/off.  Some sensor-type bulbs/sockets reset if the power goes on and off and it can be frustrating to constantly reset them.  These are very easy to work with and perform well.

This switch performs well.  I replaced my old and slow switch with this one and am very satisfied with the better performance I get from it.  You can't get much simpler than this.  Plug it in, attach your cables, and you off and running.

I am pleased with the performance of this duplicator 24xSATA thus far. It is simple to use as far as my need are concerned.  I can see it has a number of programs which I really do not understand, mainly because the manual is not written for the average buyer.  It is cryptic and does not sufficiently describe what they are really for; which means that I may be able to do other things with it beyond just duplication. I was really interested in doing some editing which they claim is possible. But they do not explain anything and only provide a bunch of numbers which are frustrating to say the least.  My next hope is that it is capable of making the video that I have copied from my desk top become playable on the video player attached to my TV.  I am not optimistic.  The jury is still out. ---Otto Gillings

I had my previous wireless router (a Belkin) for about three years, so the timing on getting this one was convenient as the Belkin was starting to show its age.  I've been happy so far with the Archer's performance, as it's worked as expected.

The installation and setup was easy.  I'm neither a newbie nor an expert in terms of setting up networks or making changes to existing ones, but the swap-out didn't take much time.  I used Windows on my laptop, so I can speak only to that and not to the ease of use with Android or other systems.

I've only been using this product for a week, but the performance so far has been good.  I get a strong signal throughout most of the house, about the same or a little stronger than I saw with the previous one, and there has only been one instance in which the signal dropped or disconnected without reason.  There are times when we have four devices actively using the wireless network, and that hasn't caused any serious slowdowns or issues.

In a smaller space (average-sized house), I'd recommend this as a good option.  For larger areas, I'd probably go with the C7 because of the larger range.  I'd also suggest that the USB ports on all of these should really be 3.0, as that's the minimum standard I'd now expect.  Overall, I'm pretty happy.

I bought this unit to replace an Ezview device that had stopped working. I have a Win 7 laptop streaming to a Toshiba TV. After initial setup, I selected mirror among the options and the unit has performed well. It does require a clear line of sight to operate. I mounted the receiver up high to enhance the signal opportunity but find even walking inbetween the two devices will cause a signal disruption. I had less of a problem with the Ezview but they are no longer available. Overall I am satisfied with the Diamond ease of installation and overall performance and would buy again.

I'm not sophisticated enough of a user to run temperature tests and understand the physics of heat transfer and its impact on systems.  But I'm not a novice user either.  This is my third or fourth router in the past 15 or so years, and I bought it because we're increasing the number of devices we use around the house, with at least three devices connected at any time.  And we're also increasing the places where we need access around the property.  In the two years I've owned this, it's performed flawlessly.  It was simple to configure and it's been simple to upgrade and maintain.  The dual band works fine, and the devices that we have that can access the higher band perform well on it.  The places that are distant to the router perform well on the lower band.  It's good when something I buy actually performs as advertised, and this does that.  A simple router that allows me the level of wireless access I need.  No router is plug and play, but this is about as easy as they come.

simple to use, good quality vs lesser priced units, and/or higher priced units

I was having a problem using wireless networking in certain parts of the house.  Rather than pull wires, I decided to try using PowerLine networking.  This unit got very good ratings and reviews by others, so I gave it a shot.

The good news is it was easy to setup and and good performance.  I have not had any network problems since installing the units.  It's been a success.  It works with all the computers(MAC & PC) on the network, my DVD player accessing Netflix, PS3,and Wii.

One thing to be aware of is the unit needs to be plugged directly into the power socket, not an extension cord or power strip.  So you might need a little longer ethernet cable but no big deal.

Something for the wish list.  The product comes with two units per box.  I of course only needed three units so I had to buy an extra unit.  But since everything is working I'm happy.

Easy ot install and immediately noted performance improvement.  I had Vista on my desktop and it was sluggish.  Was thinking of Windows 8 but didn't like drastic change.

The package arrived before stated delivery date and performs as advertised.  There was only  a quick setup guide and you have to go online for more detailed instructions.  It was not difficult to install, but I had previously installed an 8 TB mycloud that used the same procedure.  All I did was plug the provided cable into my open port on my router and plug in the power and go to WD for the setup routine.  I was up and running within 20 minutes.  I had difficulty in setting up a mapped drive on my home network but that was mostly user clumsiness and lack of instructions.  I attempted to set up a "private" drive and the instructions were not clear and finding the setup on MYCLOUD EX4 was not intuitive.

I purchased the drive to consolidate dozens of smaller drives I have on one volume and although slow it is working.

Transfer rates are slower than I would like, somewhere between 20-35 MBps on my 100gigabit router.  Some large disks I transferred (~3TB) took over 24 hrs to transfer.  So far my activity has only been loading data to the drive.

very easy to use. I won't know how well it works for a while though.

It's a pretty good item. It's simple and quite easy to use. I have not used it much but I like it so far. It works pretty well and was easy to set up too.

I haven't used the extra 'features' of this projector, but using it as a simple projector is easy as pie.  It is a bit large, but ease of use is great.

Super easy to setup; I will say that its not a super fast drive; but I am able to stream a 1080p movie from it with no issues. Works fine in a multi OS environment; I have a PC, 2 Mac's, 1 linux laptop, and a couple of linux VM's; all are able to read/write to the drive with no issues.

So if you are looking for high i/o, look elsewhere (I would hope that would be obvious by the price), but as a usable backup device that is quick to setup, and a shared network drive that is indeed fast enough to stream content (it will stream 1080p video even while being written to). I would upgrade the firmware on it before even using it - I have heard of compatibility issues and errors if this is not done. That thankfully is also super easy.

External access is pretty easy to setup as well; my main work computer is a macbook air, which doesn't have a huge hard drive - if I go work at a coffee shop, its nice to easily be able to access all my files, and not have to bother about cluttering up my local drive.

If you know why you are buying this, and have the correct expectations, I think you'll be happy. If you are expecting this to have RAID 0+1 I/O, and to run VM's off of it, you will be disappointed :)

I was hesitant after reading the mixed reviews, but I have found this product very easy to use and convenient.  My goal is to convert a whole heap of old cassettes to digital format, and it works like a charm.  I also didn't need the headphones - the music played out loud on my computer.  I am not looking for optimal or professional sound quality; I find that the music comes out about the same quality it was on the tape, which is fine with me.  One annoying thing is that the Mac version of the software doesn't have automatic track separation, so you have to sit there and click "new track" each time a song ends.  Also, when the music goes into iTunes, it comes up under its own file name or "Unknown Album" instead of the info you enter, so I don't bother putting the track names into the program or anything; I just do that later when it's in iTunes.  I'm sure you can use a more sophisticated program like Audacity and do all kinds of other things, but for my own bare-bones purposes, this machine is very easy to use and does what I wanted it to do.
