Synology Disk Station DS410j NAS Review
There are a number of legitimate reasons why NAS devices are becoming so popular in work environments, but because of the costly setup investment, they have remained more of a luxury than a necessity for home users.

The deal is expected to close in the next few weeks, and although official financial details haven't been disclosed, rumors indicate the retail behemoth will dole out over $100 million -- quite a bit more than some folks previously speculated. According to AllThingsD, Vudu's compression technology attracted multiple...

Habey launches Atom-powered fanless nettops
Habey has introduced two iterations of a new low-powered ultra-compact computer, the BIS-6620-I and BIS-6620-II. As the models indicate, both are very similar.

CompactFlash 5.0 spec brings 144PB capacity limit
The CompactFlash Association has announced a new specification that brings 48-bit addressing, which increases the current capacity limitation of 137GB to 144PB -- as in petabyte. For the mathematically impaired, that breaks down to around 150 million gigabytes, or six million single layer Blu-ray discs. It also supports up to 32MB per transfer action, compared to 128KB today.

U.S. authorities close in on Chinese Google hackers
U.S. authorities have reportedly tracked down the hacker who wrote the code behind the attacks on Google and a number of other local companies last month.

Synology Disk Station DS410j NAS Review
Over the past few months we've shown you a couple of network-attached storage (NAS) devices selling at two rather distant price points. The 8-bay QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo, you might recall, offered the highest levels of performance, but carried an equally imposing starting price of $1,700, escalating up to around $3,000 when equipped with eight 2TB drives. Obviously, this device is targeted at businesses that have that kind of extreme requirements.

TechSpot PC Buying Guide
One pitfall of our previous buying guides and many others on the Web is that they expire shortly after publishing. Prices change daily, components come and go, and the guides simply degrade in worth until they're eventually rewritten a few months later.

USB 3.0: What You Need To Know
The Universal Serial Bus standard has come a long way since its introduction in 1996. Backed by a consortium of companies led by Intel, Compaq and Microsoft, it offered some unheard-of features for its time, including the ability to connect peripherals without turning off the computer first and to draw power without a separate AC connection. The standard became popular with the arrival of version 1.1 in late 1998, allowing a maximum transfer rate of 12Mb/s, and as we can witness nowadays just about any device comes standard with 'Hi-Speed' USB 2.0 connectivity.

Hitachi SimpleTough Rugged Portable Hard Drive Review
Just recently we reviewed the A-DATA SH93 portable hard drive which featured a rugged design said to be both shock resistant and water proof -- within reason anyway. After abusing it for a few days the SH93 lived up to all our expectations with flying colors, surviving multiple drops onto a hard surface from up to 4 feet high, and being submerged into the kitchen sink for half an hour with no damage to the drive's contents whatsoever.
