Thermaltake BlacX 5G USB 3.0 Hard Drive Dock @ PCSTATS
The tools in my toolbox are just as important as the IT skills I have learned
over the years. After all, what good is the knowledge to accomplish something
without the means to do so? That is why my arsenal of tools in my office is as
important to me and my customers as is paint and a canvas to a painter. When
companies like StarTech start offering tools that can accomplish more than one
task and do them all well, it not only saves me time, it reduces the amount of
"crap" I have all over the place. StarTech has already impressed me with their
S354UFER, let's see if they can keep me tuned in with their SATDOCK22RE.

G1 uses Cherry MX Black @ PCSTATS
The Thermaltake BlacX hard drive dock line has certainly been around for awhile, and while they have met with varying levels of success they are usually a decent option for many consumers. Thermaltake's latest addition to their venerable BlacX line - the BlacX 5G - is not only USB 3.0 enabled but can accept 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard drives regardless of their capability including SATA 6GB/s enabled drives. This certainly sounds like the makings of not only a pretty "future proof" USB 3.0 hard drive dock but also pretty darn good one too! Let's see how good a performer this dock really is and if it can live up to the BlacX name. Read on to find out in my full review.

MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II OC @ PCSTATS
At first glance the Thermaltake eSPORTS Meka G1 we have under the review spotlight is much ado about nothing: it looks about as basic as keyboards can get, yet is heavier than even the most basic keyboard you've probably ever used, and it has a relatively short USB cable to boot. It's what you don't immediately see that sets the Meka G1 apart from your everyday keyboard.
Based on traditional mechanical keyboards, the G1 uses Cherry MX Black mechanical keyswitches for each of its keys for improved tactile response and serious long-term durability. Thermaltake promises these enhancements will make the Meka G1 well suited for the product's target audience: gamers. See if the mechanics under the hood are worth the fuss in our latest keyboard review!

MANAGING YOUR DIGTAL DEATH - A PCSTATS TechTip @ PCSTATS

Today HT4U.net presents the MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II OC, as usual premium speed with a premium price tag.

AMD Radeon HD 6790 Graphics Card @ PCSTATS
In case you missed the PCSTATS Newsletter this
week, we're reposting this little TechTip here in the news. You can catch
the next PCSTATS Newsletter, if you're still alive, by subscribing
here.
This is one of those tech topics we've been meaning to touch on for quite
some time, but it's not the cheeriest of subjects..... so let's tackle this with
a dose of humour. Prior to the internet things were pretty easy after you kicked
the bucket - your photos, home movies, telephone contacts, correspondence,
little black book and everything else were solely in a physical form. A quick
dig through a closet or shoe box would reveal the mundane and the scandalous,
and life was easy for the newly departed.
Crucially, and unlike every online repository today, this collected material
could just sit around and happily gather dust for decades. Today these same
snippets of life are often digitally stored by third parties on servers with
virtual countdown-to-erasure clocks hanging over six digit password protected
accounts. Or worse yet, until the IT company goes belly up. At the very least,
your own computer may chocked full of family history - you know, the PC that
holds everything that only you have the login for?
On the plus side, shoe boxes don't wipe out all your Kodachrome prints if you
forget to open them for a couple years, nor cite privacy policies if your
relatives go snooping around after you die. Online email accounts, photo and
social networking services are certainly the modern equivalent of an empty
Converse shoe box, but see how far you get trying to crack a deceased relative's
account open.
Get the drift? We store thousands of emails and family photos on the
internet, while social networking sites like FB catalog the mundane day-to-day
records of our lives. Ditto times ten for home computers and notebooks. All of
this is protected while we're alive and kicking by passwords, privacy clauses
and encryption nine ways from Sunday.
The key to Managing Your Digital Death is having the foresight pass along
these keys to the collected works of YOU, on. Assuming you do, want to pass this
information on that is. A list of websites and login details written down on a
sheet of paper & kept up to date is usually sufficient. It may be wise to
include the lost password questions/answers too... This paper should be stored
somewhere very safe along with other important personal papers. Just be sure to
tell a trusted family member these details exist and possibly where they're
kept.
We'd like to hear what you think about this subject and your suggestions for
Managing your Digital Death, so please drop us a line.

AMD's Fusion platform, the E350N-USB3 @ PCSTATS
It seems that Seagate are continuously pushing the boundaries of exactly what an external drive can be. Not all that long ago they released the GoFlex brand which instantly revolutionized the portable storage niche with its ability to change the interface it required with almost no effort. Then they pushed the limits of 2.5" capacity with their release of 1.5TB GoFlex beast and the competition trembled. Well Seagate are back again and this time they have their sites firmly placed on changing our expectations of how small a 2.5" hard drive based external storage device can be with their all new Seagate 320GB GoFlex Slim. Today we are going to see exactly what makes the GoFlex Slim special and whether or not it is worth your hard earned dollars!
