Regular readers will recall that I was quite taken with the integration of Pogoplug into the Buffalo CloudStation Duo, so I was very interested to hear that Pogoplug have released a new device, the Series 4. If you aren't familiar with the Pogoplug device, it's a network gadget that makes attached USB devices available across the Internet. In short, you
On test here is the 2 TB version of Buffalo's CloudStation Duo, a RAID-capable NAS with built-in Pogoplug, giving the user their own personal cloud. The CloudStation Duo is squarely aimed at the prosumer market, both in terms of the hardware and the software on-board. For the hardware, it is equipped with two 1 TB drives and the unit can
The Buffalo DriveStation Velocity is a 2 TB USB 3 external drive, and given the size and the interface, it's aimed at people who want lots of data and want it quickly. Let's get the external features of the device out of the way and then check how quick it is. In the box, there's only the drive, the power
Buffalo Technology has announced the launch of the MiniStation Extreme, a ruggedised USB3 portable hard drive. Conforming to the US Military's MIL-STD-810F 516.5 Procedure IV, the shock protection on this drive means that it will survive a fall from over 2 m or 6 ft. And if securing your data against physical damage isn't enough, the MiniStation Extreme also comes
Storage, both HDD and SSD, is growing in capacity and shrinking in price all of the time. With hard drives currently as large as 2 TB available, and promises of even bigger ones coming it seems there is almost more storage already than anyone of needs. Plus, for those willing to pay a premium, there are SSD's, which are smaller
Just a quickie....if you liked the sound of the Freecom Mobile Drive Mg that I reviewed recently and you need a further incentive to buy one, from 1 August to 31 October 2011, every 100th customer to buy and register a Mobile Drive Mg from either an Apple Store, an Apple Premium Reseller, the Apple Online Store or from the Freecom
Congratulations to Rich Costin for winning last week's competition for G Data AntiVirus 2012 - his prize will be on its way to him shortly. Disappointingly, the number of responses to the competition was a bit low, though the quality of the response was high, so we're going to try to attract a few more UK GNC readers and listeners
I received my Google Music Beta invite late Monday afternoon. After downloading the Music Manager I started to up load my music. My music is stored on an external drive to upload it into the music player I simply hit Other and then added the folder. It took between 15 and 16 hours to upload 1,836 songs. Any song that
The Freecom Mobile Drive Mg is no ordinary 2.5" external drive. It's a thing of beauty. Intended to complement Apple's MacBooks, the slimline Mobile Drive has a magnesium body that looks and feels great. The icing on the cake is that it's USB 3. I've seen lots of external drives but this is the one you want. Even the packaging
If you are looking for a Father's Day gift, then you might want to take a look at the Freecom Data Bar XXS. As you might guess from the XXS, it's a tiny little USB memory stick. My measuring says that it's just 2.5 mm deep, 12 mm wide and 31 mm long - it's basically the same size as
LaCie's Hard Disk is a USB2 3.5" external hard drive unit. Designed by Neil Poulton, it definitely comes from the minimalist school of design as it's a shiny black box with a blue LED. The exterior is marred only by a discrete LaCie logo on one side; USB connector, power socket and on/off switch at the back. You don't even see
While Bluray and USB3 are where it's at, it's easy to forget that there's a solid market for inexpensive legacy optical drives. And it's into this market that Buffalo have today released a stylish portable DVD recorder for those of us who have laptops or netbooks that don't have a CD/DVD drive. It's pretty much run of the mill spec-wise,
