Verbatim Tuff Clip 8GB Flash Drive Review
Nearly everyone has a USB drive today, but the one demographic that seems to have the most of them are students. Life would have been a lot different if I could carry around a 1-ounce piece of plastic rather than reams of ripped paper in my Trapper Keeper (which has been strewn down the hall [...]

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.

Fix: Hard Drive goes to sleep even in High Performance Power Profile
