eSATA is faster than USB 3.0 — at least right now
Posted on February 5, 2010 | No Comments
Most hardware manufacturers are finally rolling out USB 3.0 devices. We've seen motherboards, hubs, hard drives, and notebooks all rocking the new and improved USB standard. It's clearly the future of USB with backwards compatibility, dramatically faster speeds and full-duplex data transfers. That's great, but it's still not faster than eSATA right now.

Review: Western Digital My Book 3.0
Posted on February 1, 2010 | No CommentsWe looked at the 500GB USB 3.0 Seagate BlackArmor PS110 a few days back and now the Western Digital My Book 3.0 drive is on the bench. There are some important differences and similarities between the two USB 3.0 options. First, while the PS110 is a portable solution and the My Book 3.0 is a desktop external, [...] -
NotSoCrunchDeals: Super special, ultrafast HTC Bravo charging cable! USB 2.0! Pro grade!
Posted on January 28, 2010 | No CommentsDid you know that your USB cable can be used to connect your phone to the Internet and bring over ringtones? I know, right? Amazing!

Posted on January 25, 2010 | No CommentsThe future is here, everyone. Let’s check out the just-announced Seagate BlackArmor PS110 Performance kit. It’s Seagate’s first USB 3.0 product and it’s noice — where noice is slang for nice, and for the sole fact that it’s the first USB 3.0 drive I’ve tested. I’m a little excited. Features: USB 3.0 interface Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 7,200 [...] -
Fast food and donut USB sticks
Posted on January 25, 2010 | No Comments
Tokyo-based crap accessory maker Greenhouse has given us a plethora of gadgets that basically make no sense over the last months, and these new USB memory sticks don't look to be different. Much like the cork- and light bulb-shaped USB sticks Greenhouse released not too long ago, they don't offer anything special technically.

Thanko’s Micro Sport MP3 Player weighs just 8g (video)
Posted on January 20, 2010 | No Comments
Thanko, the Tokyo-based maker of all things USB, sometimes produces gadgets that aren't silly. Today, the company announced the Micro Sport MP3 Player [JP] that's supposed to be especially suitable for people who want to listen to music while doing sports. The only drawback is that the thing doesn't look to be designed for this purpose at all (but maybe that's just me). Integrating one earbud into the main unit might lead to problems.

The BlackArmor PS 110 gets Seagate in the USB 3.0 game
Posted on January 5, 2010 | No Comments
Hope you're ready for CES's flood of USB 3.0 drives and accessories. Seagate is the latest manufacturer to announce its initial offering at the trade show. The BlackArmor PS 110 Performance Kit includes not only a 500GB portable hard drive, but also a ExpressCard USB 3.0 adapter because, you know, no one really has a USB 3.0 yet.

Team outs the USB 2.0/eSATA X092 flash drive
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
Here we go again with another dual interface flash drive, but this time USB 3.0 is no where to be found. The Team X092 comes sporting both a USB 2.0 and eSATA interface. Of course with the eSATA interface, the drive should be rather quick and it is thanks to four data channels feeding separate flash memory modules.

Tube amplifier-shaped USB speaker
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
Tube or valve amplifiers are electronic amplifiers that make use of vacuum tubes to boost the power of a signal. They've been around for decades, and some audio freaks still love the sound they help to produce. And they look kind of pretty, too. Reason enough for Hanwha Japan to come up with the US-0498 [JP], a PC speaker that looks like a tube amplifier (but isn't one).

The PQI Cool Drive U366 USB 3.0 flash drive can transfer files at 5Gbps
Posted on December 29, 2009 | No Comments
Get ready for the USB 3.0 flash drive enslaught. PQI has launched its first salvo and it looks mighty strong. The Cool Drive U366 comes equipped with a 64GB capacity and speeds up to 5Gbps/sec. That's ten times faster than USB 2.0, kiddies. Previously the only way to get that type of speed on a portable drive is to opt for an eSATA flash drive -- if you can find one -- and even then, most aren't as fast as this drive from PQI.

Posted on December 18, 2009 | No Comments
Adding an external display to most modern laptops isn't a big deal; and many desktops natively support dual displays. But adding a third, or even a fourth, display can be a challenge. The NewerTech USB 2.0 Display Adapter aims to make adding extra monitors as easy as plugging in a USB gadget. Macs can add up to 4 monitors, while PCs can add up to six!
