Competition Time – Freecom Mobile Drive CLS

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

Google Music Beta

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

Freecom Mobile Drive Mg Review

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.

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

Buffalo Portable DVD Recorder

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,

Buffalo MiniStation Portable USB 3.0 Hard Drive Review

Buffalo's MiniStation portable USB 3.0 hard drive is a 500 GB SATA 2.5" HDD in a small and not unattractive package. Coming in crystal white (and piano black), it will certainly appeal to those who want to match their white Apple products without wanting to pay for the Apple logo. Size-wise, it's very pocketable, measuring just 114 x 77 x
