The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlext Ultra-Portable hard drive is more than just a portable 2.5" SATA HDD. key to the system's brilliant usefulness is that Seagate designed this hard drive to interface with a series of modular cable interface adaptors, docks and a media player.

We all use USB sticks at work or at home, it's the easiest and often the fastest way to copy or transfer some files. There's a huge number of different ones out there - some extremely cheap, and others more expensive. It can be a challenge to find a good one, and now that USB 3.0 memory sticks are becoming more common, that's even more the case. Are they by default faster than a USB 2.0 stick? The marketing text on the packaging of course says so, but in practice it's not always the case. We tested 32 different USB 3.0 memory sticks and can give you the definitive answer.

A lot has changed since the announcement of the Optimus Eco earlier this year. The most notable change is the company supplying it. When we last looked into SMART Storage Systems, they had just finished being acquired by SanDisk. At that point, though, nothing had really changed except for ‘a SanDisk Company’ being added to their name. Many were unsure exactly how the SMART brand would fit into the SanDisk family. With the release of the SanDisk Optimus Eco SAS SSD, with full SanDisk labeling, we have a much clearer picture.

Mushkin is best known for their memory products and while they don't have an expansive line of SSDs, they offer a drive for just about every type of user.

Have a look!
