D-Link DNS-343 review

D-Link DNS-343 review

Review For sharing media files and other documents on a home network, the DNS-343 would be fine. For business use, the awkward permissions system makes management more difficult than it needs to be.

Fusion-io ioDrive (80GB) review

Fusion-io ioDrive (80GB) review

Review The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable, saviour.

HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System review

HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System review

Review This is an excellent backup solution for small businesses, and more cost-effective than tape at this end of the market. Performance could be better, but that's our only real concern.

Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB) review

Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB) review

Review Intel's X-25M solid-state drive enjoys several advantages over both conventional disk drives and other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time and notebook battery life. If you can forget about the cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.
