I bought Ruby Sliders ( https://amzn.to/3vYup8m ) was simply to protect my floors from scratching, less sound of moving chairs, and easier to slide chairs, tables, around.
For larger tables and heavy furniture. I was not able to move it myself so putting these X-Protector Furniture Sliders for Hardwood Floors ( https://amzn.to/3ehUxB8 )
on each table leg allowed us to move the furniture over the hard surface flooring without scratching the flooring.

The Ruby Sliders ( https://amzn.to/3vYup8m ) had heavy duty felt as a base to slide over the hard wood floor. The top was a stretch silicon non-slip to cover over the furniture legs. Very easy to use and very helpful. We are now able to move the chairs and table without making noise.

How To: BACKUP WORK FLOW – Using External Hard Drives.

They are not fast enough for video editing but perfect for storage of archived data. I am going to show you how I backup all my data using external hard drives. I buy a new external desktop hard drive every 2 years to duplicate all my data.

A few days ago I bought a Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8 TB External Hard Drive ( https://amzn.to/2OGva2K ) at Costco. This is a very large external hard drive with USB A ports in the front of the drive. This is good for charging your phone or to use other USB devices.

I use the large external desktop drives as long term storage. I typically buy twice the capacity every year and copy ALL of my data from prior hard drive to the new drive. That way all my data is backup. Then older drive are placed into storage. If an emergency were to happen, the largest drive well be easy to take and save rather than multiple smaller drives.

They are not fast enough for video editing but perfect for storage of archived data.I needed to clear out hard drive space on my MSI GE75 Gaming laptop ( https://amzn.to/326XfDJ ) that i use for video editing. I normally carry a Crucial 1 TB SSD drive ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) to quickly transport and backup video and footage to and from my laptop.

The Crucial X6 SSD ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) transfers about 500 megabytes a second. However, for longer term backups of footage, using a traditional mechanical external hard drive is more cost effective. SSD drives transfers 5 times faster than traditional drives but costs at least 5 times as much has of this 2021. The cost is the reason why I also have a portable mechanical hard drive.

I have a few Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8 TB External Hard Drive ( https://amzn.to/2OGva2K ) external desktop hard drives to backup my laptop. In the video it transfers at about 68 to 160 megabytes a second which is fast for a mechanical hard drive. So my typical 300 megabyte video clips and footage takes about 3 seconds to backup. So it is worth it to carry both SSD and HDD when working remotely from home.

This drive uses the same single USB 3,0 cable as my other Seagate external hard drives. I like the consistency of cables and power supplies as backup. I works with my Seagate One Touch USB 3.0 portable hard drives ( https://amzn.to/3uDxw5b ). The case is lightweight and made of plastic. Since it is a traditional mechanical drive, you need to be careful not to place it next to magnetic fields.

This is why i only bring my SSD drive with me when traveling away from home or office. Crucial X6 SSD ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) is not magnetic and has no moving parts. I usually keep my Seagate desktop drives at the office or work site only.

Lastly, the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8 TB External Hard Drive ( https://amzn.to/2OGva2K ) is warranted for 2 years, so I typically buy a new one drive that is double the size of my previous drive to backup my all my data on to my new hard drive. I normally backup all my new content and data at the end of the month.

REVIEW: Costco MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket Folding Solar Panel

I bought a MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE ) at Costco for $179 for about 1 month now and it works well with my Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )
Six months ago I bought a ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ) which does great job in a smaller package.

Stuff in this Video:
MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE )
Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )

My Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) is light and compact to bring with you during camping or off the grid. Its convenient and has AC outlet, USB ports for fast charging, and a 12 volt socket . Charging takes about 5-7hours depending of method. With the included AC or 12 volt car charger it charges at 62 Watts and is fully charged in about 5 hours.

I wanted to charge it while camping using solar so i bought MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE ).

According to Jackery’s manual it can only charge at about 60 Watts max, so buying a 60 Watt portable solar panel seemed like a great idea. Generally the more solar panel wattage the larger your panels will be depending on how its packaged. I wanted something light and compact and had a max charge of 60 watts so i dont damage my Jackery Explorer 240.

The MASSIMO 100 Watt Solar Blanket ( https://amzn.to/3gne2JE ) works fine on the Jackery 240. I got about 53- 68 watts in full sun which was expected as the the manual says it would take about 5 to 7 hours to charge using a 60 W solar panel.

I generally follow the sun during camping. Moving the panel from my car’s windshield, to the car roof, then to the rear window and trunk, while camping and get a good 4-5 hours of charging in. There are eye holes to hang or tie down the panel as well. I have the Jackery Power station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in my car when charging and just have the wire go into my door weather strip.

Pros:

  • Compatible with other power stations
  • Compact folded size
  • Good / expected charging speed for solar.
  • Thick cables.
  • Three USB charging ports – well positioned in the storage area.
    Cons:
  • Slightly heavier than other folding solar panels due to wiring and packaging.
  • May need a chair or car to act as a stand to follow the sun.
  • Folds out at 77 inches or so, not as convenient as simple 2 fold panels.

Overall its a good performer and gets the job done. Produces closer to the 60W – 68W output for quickly charging my Jackery Explorer 240. .
