Netgear Network Storage Device

Wireless networks between computers and devices around the home, and office have become very popular recently, and this is a must-have addition to anyone’s network: the Netgear Network Storage Device. Featuring either 500GB or 1TB of hard disk space (depending on which one you go for), you have plenty of room to store high quality multimedia files and share them between everyone on the network. There’s also the option to extend the amount of storage available by adding another drive, which can also be used as a back up for the files on the original drive (RAID 1 for you power users out there).

These Netgears have built-in web interfaces to manage the files that are shared. It should also make it pretty easy for most folks to use. Furthermore, to ensure speed, you will find 256mb of RAM built in to the tower. The compatibility with other machines that you may have seems endless; media can be streamed to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and even DVD players. Even printers can be connected.

External USB SATA Dock

SATA Dual Drive Dock

Picture the scenario; you have an 80GB SATA drive, but want a 160GB one, do you sell the 80GB and buy a 160GB? No. At least not with this gadget, all you have to buy is another 80GB and get them plugged up together with the External USB SATA Drive Dock. Or, if you have lots of SATA drives, you can swap between them with the touch of a button thanks to hot swap.

Available in either single- or dual- dock, the simple plug-and-play system will work equally well with Windows, Mac OS or Linux and has a very usable transfer speed of 480Mbps when connected via USB 2.0, or a fast 3Gbps when connected via eSATA. You don’t need to worry about the type of HDD you have either – it accepts both 2.5” and 3.5”.

Gimme!
