Recommended for PS4!
By ChrisLanders6694
Put this thing into my PS4 and it is splendid!
It's the biggest that can fit in there(until Seagate's new 2tb laptop HDD is released) and there is less noise than the stock Hard Drive the PS4 had!

Any other PS4 owners shopping for a new drive should get this! Will last longer than having an SSD in the system!

A good drive for the PS4 and a decent price too.
By Chuck Bittner
If you're someone like me and wants to upgrade their PlayStation 4 from its 500GB hard drive to something more spacious this drive is a good choice. I looked around the Internet this was the best price going (at the time of writing this the price was $124). With PlayStation 4 games weighing in at near 30GB+ for a lot of games and hard drive the size will eventually be a must upgrade. And if you're interested in upgrading your PlayStation hard drive it's a pretty straightforward process.

UPGRADING YOUR PS4 TAKE LESS THAN 30 minutes - You need to download the firmware from Sony*.
Step 1: remove the gloss section of your PS4. It's the part above the Blu-Ray slot.
Step 2: Remove the 500gb drive (requires 1 screw to be removed) Unscrew the 4 screws holding the drive in the cage.
Step 3: Put the PS4 back together.
Step 4: Insert your usb flash drive into the PS4 usb slot.
Step 5: Press and hold the power button on the PS4 for 8-10 seconds.
Step 6: Choose the bottom selection (I believe it's number 10) Reinstall firmware.
Step 7: That's it you are done only about 30 minutes and done.

*One thing you need if you're replacing a hard drive on the PlayStation is the latest firmware update from Sony's website and you need a 1 GB plus thumb drive formatted in fat32. And you just set up your thumb drive with a folder called PS4 an inside that folder another one called UPDATE. Then inside the update folder you place the firmware.

And that's it super easy to do takes no time in this drive efficiently doubles your storage space and drastically increases your load speed for games.

Thanks for reading if you have a questions just ask them.

Here are the steps for the PlayStation 3

1. Unscrew the drive cover
2. Pull out the old hard drive
3. Remove the drive from the drive bracket and insert your new hard drive.
4. Put it back into your PlayStation and put the screw in place.
5. Install the operating system from a flash or USB hard drive.

Now you will need to get the PlayStation operating system from Sony before you attempt a hard drive replacement but it's pretty simple and straightforward and one of the best selling points of the Sony PlayStation.

Thanks reading

PS personally I went with a 1TB 72000rpm drive in my PS4.

Bought for the PS4.
By Derek Mize
I am using this for the Playstation 4. Easy install and works great. Remember to download the full OS from Sony's website and put it on a thin flash drive (to fit between the layered system). Load times even for 5400 RPM is incredibly quick. Much faster than disc.

February 19, 2014 - This is just a follow up to my review. Having played BF4 and many launch games extensively, I can safely say this was a great purchase. No failures, load times are still great and I have noticed 0 issues with this model. If you own a PS4 I can't recommend it enough.

Excellent with a few disappointments
By Andy
I received my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"" and the matching Standing Leather Origami Case yesterday.

I order the red color and found it to be a deeper red than my computer screen rendered it. Like a burgundy or crimson, with just a tiny hint of purple.

1. Not like my Paperwhite cover. I expected this origami case to be just like the Amazon case that is made for my Kindle Paperwhite, but this one is significantly different. I hold my Paperwhite in its case as I would a book, which I find more comfortable than holding a naked tablet. The cover of this Origami case has "folds" that allow for super-easy setup into a stand. But this makes it very unlike a book. I have really grown attached to relying on my Paperwhite cover this way, and was expecting to read on my Fire the same way. Alas, I must resort to turning the cover all the way around to the back, the way you might a large paperback book.

2. Good protection. The cover is held closed by magnets. In the closed position, my Fire HDX is protected along every side from a fall. The sides are shielded with a hard, black lip or the sturdy edges of the cover that extend out further than my Fire.

3. Ease of use. With the perfect fit and strong magnets, my Kindle just slid into place almost by itself as soon as I approximated the case. The folds on the cover fold effortlessly into the shape of a stand. When in this position, my Kindle seems very secure.

4. Access/functionality. The fact that opening the case automatically turns on your Kindle, and closing it turns the Kindle off, is fantastic. It is a feature I have come to really appreciate in my Paperwhite cover. The on/off switch remains fully functional if you want it. The headphone jack is in no way obstructed so that your access is as good as without the case. Finally, my Fire sits in the case in such a way that there is a space between them where the speakers are. My sound is not muffled one bit. However, I don't quite agree with Amazon's claim that the case actually redirects sound towards you. I would not go so far to say that the case improves the audio experience at all.

5. Heavy. This thing is solid. What you gain in stability, you pay for with weight. The Fire HDX is an incredible thin, lightweight device. Together with this leather Origami cover, the weight seems at least double, as does the bulk. It's a trade-off, to be sure, but you do gain protection and I find it easier to use.

Finally, this thing seems expensive. Don't expect soft, luxurious, natural-looking leather. This is highly processed, hard stuff. As of the release date of the Fire HDX, though, I found this case to be the best one available.

Good as a Stand Up Holder, Not So Good for Reading
By Michael Gallagher
This is a neat case in it's design - it securely holds your Kindle Fire HDX and, once you get used to the folds of the Origami pattern you can stand the HDX up on its side in landscape mode on a table or level surface: trying to prop it up on my bed, however, kept having it fall down as the surface isn't firm or flat enough to make the holder "hold."

When you do close the case / cover up, it will put your Fire HDX in sleep mode, and it wakes it up when you open the cover back up. The speakers are in the back of the Fire HDX, and one of my concerns with the HDX was the cover would muffle the sound: the designers put just a small amount of space between the cover and the speakers so the sound can get out and reverberate off the back of the cover and towards you as you are watching a video, etc.

If taking pictures is your thing, I will caution you this covers up the read-facing camera and the LED flash.

While the Origami feature is nice if you are into standing your Fire up, it is way too flimsy for me for when I am reading: I like holding the cover like a traditional book, and having a foldable cover in my left hand makes it seem weak and every once in a while the Fire will fold down as the Origami cover starts folding away. In retrospect, I wish was a firm leather cover available for this model at the time I ordered the HDX vs. the Origami one as I don't stand mine up very often, and pricing seems a little high at $70 for what I have.

This case delivers as promised in the product description. Wonderful!
By English Teacher
This case is wonderful! The leather is a fine quality, for starters; much better than the case designed for the prior generation HD Fire. Yes, the color is dark (the red tends to be more of a maroon), but it is a nice, rich hue. The design of the case is innovative, and the case fits the Fire like a glove. With the magnetic design, the case is easy to put on or take off, and to pull down to reveal the camera. If I want to hold the Fire by itself, I can quickly remove the case. The featherweight Fire feels fragile without the case; in the case, it feels secure and protected.

The case solidly stands in either landscape or portrait mode; the origami design is easy to manipulate, and the magnets hold it solidly in place. I like holding my Fire on my lap in my comfy chair. This case allows me to easily prop my Fire for viewing without needing a table.

The most incredible and appreciated feature in my mind is that the case does indeed redirect the sound forward toward me. It drove me crazy with my prior Fires to have the sound going away from me. Now, because of this case's design, I am able to fully immerse in the incredible Dolby, stereo sound.

I feel the case is protective, but for extra protection when I am carrying my Fire or traveling, I zip it, enclosed in this case, into a very featherweight, Vera Bradley padded case.

I would highly recommend this case. This case was designed for the Fire, and, as the saying goes, this case "completes" the amazing Fire HDX.

Works on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0
By Sam
This is a well made, sturdy, albeit somewhat thick cable.

I bought it so that I could extend both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 cables. I.E., you can plug this cable into a USB 2.0 port on a computer and attach a USB 2.0 device or cable to the other end and it will work fine.

To be clear: you can attach a USB 2.0 phone cable to this extension cord, plug it into a USB 2.0 port on your PC and you will be able to both charge your phone and transfer data to and from it (at USB 2.0 speeds).

You can, of course, also plug this cable into a USB 3.0 port on a computer and plug a USB 3.0 device or cable into the other end and it will work fine.

Posting this info since some other reviewers were questioning this. The USB 3.0 standard is designed to be backwards compatible with USB 2.0 (and even USB 1.1).

The USB 3.0 connector is designed so that the extra pins needed for USB 3.0 are recessed, and they won't be used if the cable is plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

USB 3.0 is a superset of USB 2.0, so why not purchase an extension cable that will serve both types of devices and ports?

Great Product, Very Happy with Purchase
By Amazon Shopping Addict
I purchased this for an external USB 3 JBOD enclosure I will need for my PC.

At the moment, I haven't received the JBOD enclosure, but I tested this cable with an Intel X25-V 40GB SSD in a MSI Coolmax HD-250TN-U3 USB 3 enclosure using a PCIe x1 Renesas 2-Port (EVGA EU30) card and saw HD Tune 2.55 return the following stats for a 4MB Block Size:
Transfer Rate:
Min: 134.6 MB/sec
Max: 149.2 MB/sec
Average 144.5 MB/sec
Access Time: 0.1 ms
Burst Rate: 73.6 MB/sec

This was with the SSD having 12.2 GB free of 37.2 GB.

When the SSD/enclosure was attached directly to the EU30 without using the extension cable, I saw the following results:
Transfer Rate:
Min: 138.0 MB/sec
Max: 149.4 MB/sec
Average 144.2 MB/sec
Access Time: 0.1 ms
Burst Rate: 74.5 MB/sec

My conclusion: No real speed loss when using the extension cable.

Other observations: The cable is nice and thick; the male/female ends feel strong and unlikely to break even with thousands of insertions/removal

UPDATE: When I used the extension cable with the NST-640SU3-BK enclosure, the disks would appear and disappear in Windows. Removing the cable fixed the issue.

Important info for you on this
By Chriseveringham
This is a topnotch cable. Very good quality. Be aware, while usb 3.0 devices are usually backwards compatible you are not going to be able to buy this cord and connect it to a USB 2.0 port and have it work. I have had experience first hand with this happening to people and want to get this message out to who ever I can and maybe save someone the cost. But other then that one foot note, this item is excellent and the seller was right on the ball and got it out asap. If you need one I would go for it. I will come back to this seller in the future when I need these. Enjoy and God Bless.

Really Impressed!
By berggie
I consider myself fairly competent at eliminating the bubbles that have appeared in every screen protector that I have applied over the years. I usually bought based on "recommendations" and price and found most of them to be adequate. When I was looking for a protector for my new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (some people are "Apple" junkies, I have my 3rd Kindle in 3 years... my grandsons love the "hand-me-downs"), I was impressed with the review for the Moshi iVisor and decided to pay what I thought was a fairly steep price and give it a try. It was a snap to install; there are no bubbles because there is no adhesive touching the glass. Assuming it lasts (I'll update this if I encounter any future problems) I can highly recommend this Screen Protector.

No Bubbles
By Amazon Customer
When Moshi says no bubbles, they mean NO BUBBLES. This is the best screen protector I've ever had! I've never used one on my Kindles but I'm so glad I did.
