As important as data encryption can be for the home user, it’s even more imperative in the enterprise. The problem? The most effective measures are usually cast aside in lieu of something a little easier to deal with. With the CipherUSB, Addonics hopes to bring “simple” and “most effective” together as one. Does it succeed?

Nach dem Artikel Windows 7: AHCI-Umstellung ohne Probleme fragen sich erwartungsgemäß viele Anwender: wie verhält es sich unter Windows 8 ?
Wir wollen nicht zu weit vorausgreifen, aber eines gleich vorweg, das Prozedere ist zumindest sehr ähnlich...
Bevor wir aber zu den richtigen Rezepturen greifen und euch zeigen, was dazu nötig wäre, noch ein paar Hintergrundinformationen zum Thema AHCI: das Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) ist ein offener Schnittstellen-Standard für Serial-ATA-Controller. Er ermöglicht es, mit diesen Controllern per Software zu kommunizieren und somit die Betriebszustände einzustellen, die den Laufwerken alle Vorteile von AHCI ermöglichen. Das bedeutet im Klartext, dass der Betrieb von SATA-Hostadaptern im AHCI-Betriebsmodus aktiviert wird, um Festplatten-Funktionen wie Native Command Queuing (NCQ) oder eSATA-Hot-Plugging nutzen zu können. Native Command Queuing benötigen wir um mit einem Datenträger mehrere Kommandos entgegenzunehmen und diese in einer Warteschlange (Queue) entsprechend zu verwalten. Das Command Queuing kann den Datendurchsatz steigern, wenn viele Prozesse oder Threads gleichzeitig auf die Festplatte zugreifen. eSATA-Hot-Plugging ist nichts anderes als die Fähigkeit, ein externes SATA Laufwerk schnell und unkompliziert ins System einzubinden und die volle SATA Geschwindigkeit abhängig vom vorhandenen SATA-Controller zu nutzen...

The Cooler Master Comforter Mini doubles as a pad for tables and laptops up to 15.6". It even could be used as a laptop cooler since it has a hard tilted surface. The overall styling and build quality is good and it's affordable.

If you are on the market for a new keyboard there is a good chance given the market trends that you might be considering a mechanical keyboard. Back with membrane keyboards all you really needed to consider was the keyboards features, software, and to some branding. Now, even once you have decided to go with a mechanical keyboard you have to consider what kind of switch type you want and of course most people don’t really know what the colors mean. This is one of the questions I’m asked all of the time, because of that I figured I would talk a little about it here. I hope it helps you on your decision.

When it comes to drive enclosures, both of the internal and external flavour, there is, generally speaking, one name that always pops to mind and this is Icy Dock. For many years now they have been creating enclosures, mounts and backplanes in a whole heap of varieties – some of which we’d never have thought were useful. The backplane that I’ll be looking at today is just one example of a product that I’d look through their catalogue, see and skip past as it doesn’t immediately jump out to me as a product that needs much attention.
For the vast majority of home users, having a server at home is not something that would really shout out as being needed and on the whole, they are not, but with media streaming and file sharing become more common, some users are making the move to build their own. Naturally the obvious path, rather than buying one, is to build a system from common desktop components, using a mid tower chassis to house everything, but many chassis only offer internal drive bays and there can be few at that. For those that are keen on keeping things backed up or who want easy access to their drives without having to open the case, having a backplane is a simple solution that gives flexibility of access whilst adding additional 3.5″ space.
The MS155SP-B that we’re looking at today is a simple, straight to the point backplane. By simply mounting into the optical drive area, this backplane gives five additional drive bays that can be individually removed from the system in a hot-swap manner with ease.
Anyone that has owned an Icy Dock product of this type or have read my past reviews on some of their products will know that they like to keep the packaging and extras down to a minimum, after all there’s no need for a heap of paperwork, leaflets and other non-vital parts that typically ends up staying in the box.

It's been over ten years since I've last reviewed a Lamptron product on DV Hardware! Back then the company was primarily known for its CCFL products, but now Lamptron is best known for its fan controllers and some of its other modding products. The subject of this review is the Lamptron FC10 Special Edition, a unique four-channel fan controller that uses vintage Nixie tubes!

With modern computer components continuing the trend of shrinking in size while also increasing in performance, the small form-factor (SFF) market is big business. Taking size reductions to the extreme, can Gigabyte’s BRIX prove its worth to downsizing system builders?
