Testing old server speed
I recently retired one of the hot and noisy OCMS servers, and experienced a good savings in power and heat. Even though server parts are tough and designed to last a long while, I started wondering just how fast they really are. I ran several disk benchmarks on one of the older servers, which run [...]

Verbatim Insight 500GB Portable Hard Drive Review
This year, give your loved one a little space. Storage space, that is.

Verbatim Store n Go Micro 4GB Flash Drive Review
Nearly everyone in modern society has need for portable digital storage, and therefore carry some sort of USB flash drive.

NZXT Gamma Case Review
I graduated from High School nearly nine years ago. Everyone has heard those “things were different in my day” stories from their parents and grand-parents.

SunbeamTech SATA Dock
I’ve always been an advocate of external devices. Except for HDD enclosures - the lack of heat dissipation on most of them makes me shudder in my Spiderman jammies. But other stuff, like thousands of Plug N’ Play USB devices out there, have always made my eyes glaze over and my tongue hang like a puppy [...]
Fix: Hard Drive goes to sleep even in High Performance Power Profile
I have a desktop PC running Vista Ultimate, and I want it running at its full potential. I have several hard drives, and notice that they do a “hard click” after a while, turning themselves off. I hate it when hard drives do that… I’ve had too many hard drive crashes that this noise makes me [...]
SansDigital MobileStor MS2UTN+ RAID Enclosure Review
Sometimes setting up a RAID array can be a pain in the butt. For one, professional RAID cards can be expensive. Two, many “easy RAID” features of motherboards are closed solutions.

I-Star T5F-SS Hot-Swap Hard Drive Bay Review
I love storage. It doesn’t matter what kind. I have stock in those plastic dresser-style drawers, and I keep ‘em chock full of crap I’ll never use or at the most very rarely. Any time I look at a car I check out the trunk first, and try to estimate how many bodies would fit [...]

If you travel a lot, or even a little, chances are you own a laptop or notebook PC. And you probably own one of those neat little carrying cases as well.
