It's no secret that mobile devices tend to lack storage, and this is a problem Kingston has set out to tackle - at least with iDevices. Its Wi-Drive wireless storage device allows you to stream 16GB or 32GB worth of data to your iPhone, iPad and et cetera. We've been using one for the past few months, so read on for our thoughts.
Choosing the right CPU, GPU, or even SSD could be considered difficult - but so could simple peripherals, such as an HDD enclosure. These seem to be a dime a dozen, and while many consumer purchases may boil down to aesthetic value, we've discovered with Zalman's ZM-HE350 U3 that not all external enclosures perform alike.
It's been a while since Thermaltake released an update to its "Max" line-up of hard drive enclosures, but the Max 5G looks to be a great one. Aside from looking good, it supports SATA 3.0 hard drives and a USB 3.0 interface, and helps keep your drive cool by employing dual 80mm quiet fans. Read on as we see if it's worth your hard-earned $60.
It's probably clear by now that USB 3.0 is one of the best things to happen to external storage, but when it comes to choosing between the available docks and enclosures, it's tough. One of the best options might be Thermaltake's latest entry to its highly-successful BlacX line, the 5G. It brings looks, stability, and of course, performance.
With our media collections growing larger by the day, it's sad to look at a 2TB hard drive and picture it as not being "large enough" for our goods. To help remedy things a bit, Seagate recently released a 3TB external drive, and it today remains the only 3TB single drive offering. Let's take a look and see if it's worth your consideration.
