62 in 1 drive bay
A plethora of memory cards are found in mobile phones, digital cameras and other similar devices. Transferring data is usually the quickest when connecting the memory card right up to your PC rather then via USB cable. The 62-in-1 card reader does just what it says. It has several slots which between them can take 62 different formats of memory card. It uses a 3.5″ floppy drive bay and connects direct to the motherboard on your PC. As well as reading memory cards the device can hook up to a SATA and e-SATA type drive which can be very handy for some.

It costs just $39.99 and is available from USBFever.

ASUS Nova P22 – WiiPC?

asus_nova_p22
Asus launched the Eee PC this year and it created quite a bit of interest. They are now releasing a new slim desktop PC which will be named the Nova P22. The P22 is a Core 2 Duo desktop computer. The processor is the E6320 and the slim Nova PC sports 1GB DDR2 RAM. The hard drive is fairly large too which is a 160GB SATA. The DVD-RW is a slot drive allowing that to slim the whole size down too. Wireless runs at 802.11n and there are plenty of ports on it for DVI, USB, sound, power and wired Ethernet.

Not a bad little system with that power and ideal for many who are restricted in desk space. The PC also has a stand to hold the Nova in a similar way to the Wii.

Infrant ReadyNAS NV – Full Backup Solution

April 1, 2007 by Leave a Comment

NAS
Data storage has become more needed in each of our lives with digital cameras being used daily, music being downloaded, videos being watched and much more. The problem you will come across one day is that the harddrive of your computer which you store this data on will more then likely crash. If you are like me then you probably do not have backups of the data and still know inside that it would suck to loose all those precious photo memories.

The Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ is a full backup solution allowing you to store data on its drives. It has 3 USB ports, 4 x hot swap SATA drive bays. It comes in 2 configs. Either empty allowing you to purchase the discs or it comes full with 2Tb of storage available in RAID format. It connects to your home network via a gigabit ethernet port and can be used to store all your files on it.

With it having RAID functionality, this means that should a drive break down, then you just replace it with a new drive and no data is lost. This is due to the way a RAID system works. RAID puts files on more then 1 disk so that in the event of failure a new drive just gets repopulated with the files stored in a second location.
