If you frequent the storage review section here at TweakTown then you already know that I am fond of my Lenovo T61p portable, do it all, sits next to the bed when I sleep, workstation. A couple of weeks ago the T61p that has survived my brutality every day for the last three years was retired and replaced with a new Lenovo W701ds that features USB 3.0, dual monitors (on a notebook!!!!), dual 2.5'' HDD bays and shipped with a Lenovo branded Toshiba controlled SSD. Lenovo sells more notebooks than most SSD manufacturers sell drives and they were also one of the first notebook manufacturers to offer an SSD option to consumers.

Speaking of the hardware alone, the Synology DiskStation 411+ NAS is fantastic. I cannot think of any issues one might have with the unit. It would take a serious number of users to fully tax the hardware; more people than you would typically find at the DS411+'s target market of small to medium-sized businesses.

While not as common as Catalyst releases, major ForceWare releases are probably more important for the simple fact that they don't come as often. The fact that they don't come as often also means that people expect more out of them, since AMD make the effort to release drivers monthly.

Most of us use a USB pen drive on some level or another, whether it is to keep offline document backups or to move files between work and home machines. Today we are looking at the new Kingston Data Traveler Ultimate 64GB drive which is the first USB 3.0 pen drive we have tested.

If, like me you rarely use an internal optical drive now in any of your system builds, then the product we are looking at today will be of particular interest. The Asus Extreme Slim DVD-RW Drive is only 14mm thick and takes all its power from the USB ports – meaning it will be easy to move between machines without power adapter restrictions. Did we mention that this is the slimmest model available on the market today ?

USB 3.0 is being weaved into the marketplace one motherboard and notebook at a time. My last three motherboards have included at least two USB 3.0 ports and my new Lenovo mobile workstation also includes a single USB 3.0 port. Next year we should see the eradication of USB 2.0 all together; a move that I support not only because it will give me more products to write about, but because transferring data five times as fast saves everyone a lot of time.

In der heutigen Zeit möchten die User auch unterwegs nicht auf wichtige Daten verzichten. Hierfür hat der Hersteller Prestigio eine externe 2,5" HDD im Programm. Es handelt sich hierbei um den Dataracer II, der über eine Kapazität von 320 GB und eine USB 3.0 Schnittstelle verfügt. Viele User haben für die Datenübertragung bis jetzt einen USB Stick benutzt, der allerdings nicht die gewünschte Kapazität aufweisen kann. Auch wäre ein USB Stick mit 300 GB deutlich teurer als die Variante von Prestigio. Im Inneren des Dataracers II wird eine herkömmliche 2,5" Festplatte verwendet, so das der User noch die Möglichkeit besitzt diese gegebenenfalls gegen eine größere auszutauschen. Diese Möglichkeit hat man bei einem USB Stick natürlich nicht. Wie sich der Dataracer II aus dem Hause Prestigio bei uns im Test geschlagen hat, erfahrt Ihr im folgenden Bericht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen......

Ah, good old USB 3.0 is popping up more and more, I think it’s finally coming into its own?! Ok, it hasn’t been that widely accepted yet, but it’s slowly getting there. Today for review I’ve got a new product from Thermaltake for USB 3.0, it’s the BlacX 5g which is a hard drive dock. This dock can use both 3.5” or 2.5” hard drives and SSDs. Included with the dock are two rubber hard drive protectors as well to help protect your drives in transport or when not in use.

Kingston's DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 (DTU30) features the latest technology for USB Flash drives, making it ideal for early adopters who want to take advantage of all the performance improvements offered by USB 3.0 right away. We push the try as hard as we could using synthetic benchmarks and then transferred some files to see how it performs in real world testing against several other USB devices that you might have heard of before.
