External storage solutions are all the rage as of late and they are reaching performance and capacity heights that we have never seen before. Yesterday, we spoke of technology advancing to the point that we could carry our entire computing environment with us and boot it from any PC and today, we can do that [...]
With USB 3.0 taking off in recent years we have the emergence of devices coming pre-built and pre-configured for the new standard. USB 2.0 is still alive no doubt, but focus has shifted to its much faster successor which has almost become part of mainstream technology. As readily available as USB 2.0 is, its downfalls [...]
For those of us who are SSD RAID enthusiasts, case mounting solutions for our RAID arrays now have a new option — utilize one of your empty 5.25″ bays to hold up to fours SSDs with the new Sharkoon Bay Extension!

In that review, I described the Wi-Drive as being a life saver for its ability to create a much needed bridge between my PC and IOS devices, more specifically my [...]
As much we like to talk about SSDs, I have to admit that it all started through my love of laptops and, to this day, hasn’t changed a bit. It started some years ago when we spoke to Dell’s first release of the XPS laptop and continues even now as I sit aboard yet another [...]
