While the WD My Passport line of portable drives is a couple of years old, their My Passport Studio models are new, and their specs and capacities were greatly improved recently. The My Passport Studio line is meant for Mac users and comes formatted in HFS+, although the drives can be used just as well [...]
» Go to this postI’ve been using Synkron lately to keep several directories synced up across a couple of external drives — a backup of sorts, just in case one of the drives decides to kick the bucket. I’ve also been cleaning up my drive, and something drove me bonkers: I couldn’t figure out why, in spite of my [...]
» Go to this postWD has put a new device on the market, and it’s called the WD TV HD Media Player. It’s a small box that can connect to a TV via HDMI or Composite output cables, and can take most USB external hard drives as input (it should even read USB flash drives as long as they’re [...]

When the Drobo Dashboard software is started, it does its own used space calculations and corrects the capacity meter, literally turning off [...]
» Go to this postThe 8GB Super*Talent USB flash drive I ordered from Brando arrived last night, and it was a very pleasant surprise to see how tiny it really is. It’s smaller than a simple USB connector, in both width and thickness. I am amazed by how small it is — and the thought that 8GB of data [...]
» Go to this postI’ve re-organized my Drobo review and also added two brand new updates to it, in the “Transfer speeds” and “How it sounds” sections. They’re marked with today’s date. If you’re interested in the Drobo or you already own one, you’ll want to look into this.
While my updates aren’t exactly flattering, I still think the Drobo [...]

Data Robotics has released version 1.1.1 of the Drobo Dashboard, for both Macs and PCs. If you already have a Drobo, chances are you’ve been prompted to upgrade. Details are a little sparse about what bugs it squashed or what new features it introduced. At any rate, it’s an easy upgrade and it went off [...]
