Pretec is about to introduce an aptly named eSATA/USB dual interface flash drive named Cobra. This ultra fast flash drive has max read speeds of 90MB per second and max write speeds of 60MBs per second. The dual channel interface has the eSATA connector at one end and the USB connector at the other. The […]
Fantom Drives are well known for high performance and high capacity storage abilities. Just recently Fantom introduced their G-Force series to include both eSATA and USB connectivity. The eSATA port is designed for maximum throughput (wait till USB 3.0 though) and USB 2.0 for universal compatibility. Keep in mind, my previous post about the SATA […]
Okay, granted this isn’t the latest and greatest in USB technology posts, but it does hold value. The SATA to USB adapter is a great adapter tool to have for any half/computer savvy user. With the increased popularity of eSATA hard drives, it’s very likely you, or someone you know (and support) will upgrade their […]
Some may say recent trends are trying to make traditional hard drives as portable as UFDs, case in point is the GeekStuff4U SATA USB dock station. Fitting either a 2.5″ or 3.5″ drive the dock station accepts a bare bones hard drive. Although a little more bulky than our Brando kit, it does have the […]
This SATA/IDE to USB converter kit would be the easiest way to clone your hard drive and finally upgrade your laptop storage space. However, the combo kit isn’t limited to just 2.5 inch hard drives but includes connection support for 1.8, 3.5 and 5.25 inch hard drives along with CD-ROM drives, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD blah […]

The obvious size discrepancy and the not so obvious set of protocol difference between SD memory and a standard disk drive has made it difficult to utilize SD cards as a primary or even secondary storage space on a standard computer. Fortunately, converters to bridge the gap between these two types of memory have become […]
When Sony officially supports the USB 3.0 specification by supplying a dual USB 3.0 port on their new VAIO laptops, it’s safe to say the transition is picking up steam. The Sony desktop-replacements are HD VAIO laptops coming with possibly everything you can hope for with the exception of 3D and SSD. The more expensive […]
We’ve been talking about USB 3.0 for almost one year now and last week we hear the maker, Intel, is looking to put on the breaks. This isn’t the first time Intel has rallied the industry, gotten chip makers to support it, then corporate shut it down via lack of integration [Wireless USB]. What the […]
Buffalo is the 2nd company to announce a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 external hard drive. Although anyone can make the claim, we know the players who mean what they say. Buffalo always delivers so we are anxious to get the green light on purchasing…the DriveStation by Buffalo is the fastest USB hard drive on the market […]
Buffalo figured out a way to turbo boost USB 2.0 to claim increased transfer speed of up-to 60%. So what’s the deal?
