Review: Western Digital My Book Essential with SmartWare backup software
Posted on October 20, 2009 | No Comments
Short version: Western Digital's refreshed My Book Essential external hard drive provides a simple, unobtrusive, and relatively inexpensive home backup solution. With an enormous 2TB capacity, built-in WD SmartWare software, 256-bit built-in encryption with password protection, an "illuminated capacity gauge," and a MSRP of $249.99, there is very little not to like here.

Review: Seagate FreeAgent DockStar
Posted on October 12, 2009 | No Comments
I like inovative products and after spending some time with the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar, I think it's just that. This thing is cool. The concept is simple and thankfully, so is the product. All you do is insert a Seagate FreeAgent Go hard drive in the dock - or use a USB flash drive - and then the dock becomes not only a local network share, but also an Internet-connected storage device through Pogoplug. I'm pleased to report that it works without any hassle, but I still don't think you should buy it.

Seagate listened, releases the updated the FreeAgent Theater+ HD
Posted on September 15, 2009 | No Comments
When Peter Ha reviewed the original FreeAgent Theater HD, he loved the UI and the ease of use with the external hard drive. What he didn't like was the lack of video file support and that it was called HD but didn't have an HDMI output. Thankfully Seagate payed attention because the new FreeAgent Theater+ HD now plays back pretty much everything: MPEG-1, VOB/ISO, MPEG-4, DivX HD, Xvid HD, AVI, MOV, MKV, RMVB, AVC HD, H.264, WMV9, VC-1, M2Ts, TS/Tp/M2T. Plus, the new model also has an HDMI output and a Ethernet jack. Peter can't complain now. (but he will anyway)

One external hard drive connector to rule them all
Posted on August 7, 2009 | No Comments
The trouble with conventional hard drive enclosures is that if you just want to hook up a particular drive to quickly grab some files off of it, you have to go through the hassle of unscrewing the enclosure, taking out the old drive, making sure you've got the right adapter to fit the new drive, closing it all back up, and man, oh man, all of a sudden it's 4:00 in the afternoon. This external drive whatsit from ThinkGeek interfaces with just about any standard hard drive, be it IDE or SATA, laptop or desktop, and lets you swap them out quickly.

Store your data on an ice cream bar with deliciously easy file transfers
Posted on July 22, 2009 | No Comments
Yum. Ice cream bars and external data solutions are, without a doubt, two of my favorite things. Actually, I don't back up all that often (I'm in the cloud, baby!) and frozen confections give me headaches. But this concept actually makes a whole lot of sense and it looks good, to boot.

CrunchDeals: HP LX195 for $375 with a free 1TB external HDD
Posted on June 19, 2009 | No Comments
The only beef I have with the HP LX195 is the price for the amount of storage. Newegg must have heard my cries as the retailer is now throwing in an Western Digital My Book Essential 1TB USB external hard drive. That means, you can get 1.67 TB of storage in a Windows Home Server for only $375. Now that's a deal, but you better hurry as it ends on 6/25/09.
Don't forget that we are giving away one of these servers in our recent review. Just leave a comment in this post to be entered.
