Every year at around this time, two things always happen: The obvious being the start of a new academic year; the second being time for us to grab a refreshed line of QNAP network attached storage system for review. For those who are currently working, good on you. For those who have not yet begun their post-secondary education, enjoy life while you still can. For those who are currently in university -- especially if you happen to be in engineering like yours truly -- prepare to be asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisked for yet another eight months, haha. Two years ago, we took the QNAP TS-409 in for testing, and used it on a daily basis for one year. While it offered brilliant reliability and impeccable uptime, its performance suffered greatly from a lack of horsepower under the hood. Last year, QNAP brought us the QNAP TS-439 Pro, which delivered the reliability and stability we have come to expect from the company after a full year of continuous usage. Thanks to its vastly improved hardware, it also took performance to a completely different level over its predecessor. The downside came down to being still a little too expensive for the specifications you get on paper (QNAP later released the TS-459 Pro a few months later with a dual core processor). This time around, the quality network appliance provider began shipping its latest line of refreshed network storage systems with the new Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz dual core processor. How well does the new hardware step up against QNAP's offerings from last year? We took the 5-bay version of the Pro+ series NAS, the TS-559 Pro+, for a spin, and will retain it as our main file server for the next year for our long term tests.
The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 has read speeds of 80MB/sec and 60MB/sec for writes when using USB 3.0 and 30MB/sec for both read and write operating on a USB 2.0 connection. In case you were wondering; yes it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 connectors. Depending on the power output of the USB 2.0 connection, you may need to use the included Y-split cable for powering the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0.
Cirago has decided to further join the USB 3.0 revolution with the introduction of their new CST6000 portable hard drive. It’s a 250gb 2.5” drive that runs on the USB 3.0 interface so it should achieve some decent speeds for all your transfer needs. Cirago even included a nice carrying case as well for added protection while you’re transporting the drive.
Plextor is a familiar name to many, and they've built their reputation on exactly one thing: optical storage. It should be no surprise then, that they've extended their line to embrace the latest in high-density optical storage. Today we'll be taking a look at the PX-B120U, a USB-bus-powered BD-ROM drive geared for movie playback.
USB 3.0 will be one of the fastest adapted new technologies of 2010. At this time it appears that everyone is on board, even though Intel is struggling to get their butt in gear. Intel aside, USB 3.0 is all over the place and thanks to NEC, even Intel motherboards come standard now with the latest spec, truly universal standard. With the first half of the catch 22 in place, we can now start to focus on USB 3.0 devices to take advantage of the new USB 3.0 spec.
Today we look at a very attractive pairing from Synology, the DS1010+ scalable 5 bay All-in-1 NAS server for small business users and the DX510 expansion unit which delivers another five hard drive bays for a two fold increase in capacity. These units combined allow for 20TB of storage which will more than satisfy the needs of any small business. These are not entry level products, the DS1010+ alone costs £725 inc vat, without any hard drives included so we will be ensuring they achieve justifiable performance levels.
The Hitachi/LG BH20L is capable of burning Blu-ray discs up to 6x. While it is not the fastest Blu-ray burner available, it is cost effective and reliable. Add in the ability to write CDs and DVDs, as well as to label discs with LightScribe, and this is a well rounded Blu-ray burner. If you are in the market for a Blu-ray burner, the Hitachi/LG BH20L is worth considering.
mit der Enyo bietet Speicherspezialist OCZ eine sehr interessante Speicherlösung für gut betuchte PC-Anwender: Der USB-3.0-Anschluss führt per Kabel zu einer externen SSD, die neue Geschwindigkeitsdimensionen verspricht.

Just before Computex earlier this year Thecus announced their new N8800 Pro, an updated 8-Drive NAS server that was based on the N8800 and N8800+, but with even higher specifications and a stronger feature list. The Pro version turns the 8800 Series up to eleven with 4GB DDRII and a higher clocked Core 2 Duo Processor.
Datensicherheit und eine gute Verschlüsselung sind für einige User von hoher Bedeutung. Warum sollte auch jemand einen Blick auf die sensiblen Daten werfen können. Genau für diese User hat Digittrade eine HDD mit integrierter 128 Bit AES Verschlüsselung im Programm. Mit einer Kapazität von 160 GB und einer im Gehäuse integrierten Hardwareseitigen Verschlüsselung braucht der User nicht auf Software zur Datensicherheit setzen. Mobilität, Sicherheit und Usability spielt bei dieser Festplatte eine große Rolle. Im Inneren des externen Gehäuses wird eine herkömmliche 2,5" Festplatte verwendet, so das der User noch die Möglichkeit besitzt diese gegebenenfalls gegen eine größere auszutauschen. Wie sich die Security HDDRS128 aus dem Hause Digittrade bei uns im Test geschlagen hat, erfahrt Ihr im folgenden Bericht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen......
