Review This compact external hard drive packs a lot of speed and storage space into a sleek, stylish package. It's a bit pricey, but well worth the money.

Maxtor OneTouch II (250GB) review

Review Maxtor's OneTouch II external hard drive makes a good thing even better, with 250GB or 300GB of one-button backups. But be warned: it eliminates any excuses for not backing up a computer.

Western Digital Media Center 250GB review

Review Featurewise, Western Digital's Media Center external hard drive blows away Maxtor's competing OneTouch, but it's an uneven performer.

Maxtor OneTouch II: a first look

Preview Maxtor's OneTouch II incorporates more features and protection than its predecessor and makes one-button backup even easier.

Review With its single-button backup, Maxtor's 160GB OneTouch drive not only makes avoiding PC disasters easier, it's also fast.

Ximeta NetDisk review

Review If you require simple, inexpensive local or network-attached storage in capacities ranging from 80GB to 250GB, look no further than Ximeta's NetDisk.

Sony DRU-700A review

Review Sony's first double-layer DVD burner does its job well, but double-layer burning itself is a mixed blessing.

Review The Mini is expensive, but Iomega's Active Disk technology gives it the edge over other flash drives.

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium review

Review This USB flash drive delivers a trinity of useful utilities in an extremely durable form.

Linksys EFG120 review

Review The EFG120 network attached storage unit offers the perfect feature set for some small businesses, but everyone else should turn to better-equipped competition.

Sony's double-layer DVD burners

Preview The next generation of double-layer DVD burners will write up to 8.5GB (4 hours of DVD-quality video) onto special DVD+R DL media. Sony will be among the first to bring drives to market.

LaCie USB Slim DVD±RW review

Review You can add multi-format DVD writing to any notebook with this drive, although you'll need USB 2.0 to get the best out of it.

Sony DRU-530A review

Review This solid multi-format drive can burn a DVD+R in less than 10 minutes, but there are cheaper and faster options on the market.

LaCie Ethernet Disk review

Review The Ethernet Disk offers affordable network storage in a sleek rack-mountable casing. Performance isn’t great, but given its target audience this probably isn’t a show-stopper. Expansion is an issue though.
