THECUS N5200B PRO FIVE BAY NAS NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE SYSTEM (17-08-2008)
Safe, accessible mega-storage is what Thecus delivers with the N5200PRO, and they deliver it in spades! It even looks good doing it. With support for up to five terabyte drives and multiple RAID setups, this little jewel has what it takes to satisfy most any home/small business user.

QNAP TS-409 PRO FOUR BAY NAS NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE SYSTEM (29-07-2008)
It carries a hefty $600 price tag, but the TS-409 Pro is a sound investment for a home or small business network. For those who need much more than just file storage and backup, this is the NAS to get. In addition to having a central location to store and back up files this product offers hard disk monitoring, FTP, Web, and SMTP server functions, user/group management, and one touch file copy from a USB disk – and that's just scratching the surface! Everything is managed through a well organized web interface that can be accessed remotely via a secure SSL connection.

THECUS N3200 RAID 5 THREE BAY NAS NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE SYSTEM (25-06-2008)
Thecus succeeded in making a home NAS that is simple to set up without sacrificing features and functionality. Only a basic knowledge of networking is required to have dedicated storage up and running in a matter of minutes. If you can set up a home router, you can configure this NAS and be able to access files from any PC in the home.

SUPER TALENT PIC0 8GB MICRO USB2.0 FLASH DRIVE (25-09-2007)
While packing a full 8Gb, the Pico from Super Talent in my opinion at this given time is the world's smallest flash drive with such a large capacity.

CORSAIR PADLOCK USB FLASH DRIVE (25-09-2007)
In the world of flash drives, the Padlock is unique. While in most cases it is a regular, run-of-the-mill drive, the addition of the passcode feature is a welcome addition. Passcodes are easy to set, or you can just leave the drive unlocked until you feel the need for security. Speed is about average, not super fast or deadly slow, and on par with other flash drives of its capacity.

CORSAIR SURVIVOR GT USB FLASH DRIVE (25-09-2007)
While I didn't back my car over the Survivor to “crash test” it, the drive has a solid feel, and certainly looks like it could stand up to quite a bit of abuse. The water resistance is a nice plus, given that the drive is meant to be carried around, leading to the possibility of dropping it in a puddle, toilet, swimming pool, etc. You can rest assured that the Survivor will handle it all.

A.C.RYAN ALUBOX ESATA/USB2.0 EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ENCLOSURE (17-07-2007)
The AluBox is cheaply priced and performs admirably. As you can see above it also looks pretty cool with its subtle blue LED indicator. All in all I am quite impressed with this unit and I don't think you could do much better for this price. Whilst I did have some issues putting it together it was nothing a little time and patience couldn't sort out.

SYNOLOGY DISKSTATION DS107E NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE ENCLOSURE (16-07-2007)
As a reviewer, it's always a pleasure to work with a product that performs as advertised. While a lot of products that we get here at Tweaknews meet expectations, it's a rare instance that we find one that exceeds expectations. The Synology Disk Station DS107e is just such a product. I was very impressed with what the DS107e was capable of. I was astounded at how easily Synology allowed me, a relative neophyte in this arena, to make all the features work..

CYBER SNIPA DOG TAGS MULTITOOL USB FLASH DRIVE (21-12-2006)
The Cyber Snipa Dog Tags take the simplicity of a USB flash drive and turn it into quite the geek chic multipurpose gadget while still maintaining functionality. Personally, I can't say I'll be wearing these around my neck but I'll definitely be carrying them with me. They are durable, ultra portable, and have lots of handy devices readily available. Highly recommended for both gamers and computer techs!

OCZ MEGA-KART ULTRA SLIM HIGH CAPACITY 8GB FLASH MEMORY CARD (07-12-2006)
For anyone needing large amounts of memory and easy portability, the Mega-Kart would be a very smart buy. Although it costs a bit more money, you have to remember the capacity it is squeezing into its small package.

OCZ ROADSTER 1GB USB 2.0 MICRO FLASH DRIVE (14-11-2006)
OCZ's second introduction of a tiny micro flash drive is indeed another winner. It is small, it is robust, and best of all, it is incredibly handy. Carrying your car keys around is twice as hard as carrying this six gram monster around. That is right, it weighs six grams which is lighter than a soda cracker.

OCZ ULTRA SLIM MINI-KART USB 2.0 FLASH DRIVE (18-05-2006)
Although this USB 2.0 drive is not the quickest on the market, the other features sure make up for the shortfall. Once you have this drive in your hand you will soon realize what I am talking about. This drive is just ridiculously small and has all the features you would expect from a normal flash drive.

PLEXTOR PX-708UF EXTERNAL 8X DVD+-R/RW DVD BURNER (17-04-2004)
Today, I will be reviewing the PX-504UF's big brother, the PX-708UF. The PX-708UF is a carbon-copy of its predecessor in terms of connectivity and style. In terms of performance, the PX-708UF takes a fairly big leap forward by supporting 8 different formats (8X DVD+R, 4X DVD-R, 4X DVD+RW, 2X DVD-RW, 12X DVD-ROM, 40X CD-R, 24X CD-RW AND 40X CD-ROM).

BEST STORE PORTABLE 7 IN 1 MEMORY CARD READER (29-03-2004)
This is one of those devices that does not need a lot of words to describe it, yet speaks volumes for itself. It is so absolutely effortless to use, and has the potential of saving you a lot of money which you would have otherwise spent on storage media.

PLEXTOR PX-504UF EXTERNAL HIGH SPEED DVD+R/RW CD-R/RW DRIVE (03-11-2003)
The advantage of being able to choose either USB or Firewire makes the drive very versatile. The included software is fairly robust, though still user-friendly. Certainly, the unit is sleek and stylish… however few will pay for aesthetics alone.

CRUCIAL GIZMO(tm) 128MEG USB FLASH DRIVE(20-07-2003)
The drive performs well and problem free, and could be touted as one of the smallest USB drives around. But on the other hand, the price is almost twice as some other manufacturers drives with the same capacity. This is a major down point seeing that you will be paying for the name on the side and not for the product.

Samsung SM-332 DVD Combo Drive (15-01-2003)
A growing trend in computing is efficiency. Faster computers and their contained peripherals are being decreased in size while being increased in power, What I will be reviewing today is an excellent combo unit made by Samsung. From what I am told by the Samsung company officials, this combo drive is selling like hotcakes and you will see why further on in the review.

Samsung Spinpoint SP4002H 40GB Hard Drive (03-12-2002)
An often overlooked and mandatory component of your everyday computer, the hard drive is the slowest of your computer memory bringing up the rear behind the CPU cache and your ram. But, when calculating overall performance, most people think that they have to upgrade their CPU or ram when all they had to do is install a faster hard drive.

Samsung Model SW-232 32X10X40X CD Writer (23-08-2002)
The 32x burner from Samsung that I will be reviewing today is a GREAT all around burner for everyone. It is full of great features like buffer underrun protection, fast cd writing speeds, fast loading and unloading and comes with everything to get you making your favorite music cd's and/or backing up your data.
