Portable External HD

A portable hard drive is a type of digital storage device. It is generally convenient to transport and has a large storage capacity. It is compatible with most computers and generally can operate easily with Windows or Mac. It can be use for storing large amount of data’s, files or it can be use as a secondary storage for your installed applications.

This time I had that already with a capacity of 500Gb enough for me, I am a freelance computer operator and addicted in downloading a lot of interesting and useful applications especially in Multimedia and Graphic softwares, beside that I can save all my downloaded movies and mp3’s on this device.  I remember the time that I am using a USB Flash Drive which a capacity of 512Mb up to 2Gb that is not enough for saving a movies or higher amount of capacity of software. When I was in college I also remember the time, my classmates and I looking for a used desktop hard drive or laptop hard drive, and we bought an enclosure. We made a portable hard drive but it needs to plug in a electric socket to have a power before you can use it. As of now the portable hard drive does not required that.

Most portable hard drives are plug and play. This means that they do not need to be formatted and a person does not have to load special software onto her computer before they will work. Instead, it is generally only necessary to connect the device, and it should be ready for use. Connection is normally achieved with a cord that has a USB plug. The cord that connects a portable hard drive to a computer is usually detachable from the device.

You also need to consider the interface, which is used to transfer data to and from the device. Less expensive portable hard drives may use slower communications interfaces, making the transfer of a computer’s entire data inventory a long, tedious process. Some older computers and portable drives have only USB 1.0, while new ones come with the much faster USB 2.0, USB 3.0, Firewire or eSATA options. Buffalo Technology recently announced the MiniStation Cobalt USB 3.0 portable hard drive, which can transfer data at up to 5 gigabits per second. That’s smokin’ fast. The size of this device is almost 2.5″ x 3″ and very slim

As of now that the biggest capacity of portable hard drive I know is almost 1Tb up to 2Tb.. Wow hope I can have 1 someday.

I can’t say good bye to the USB Flash Drive, for me it is very useful too, I can store a small amount of data’s, file etc. and it is easy and very convenient to bring also the portable hard drive is the same

The USB Flash Drive

Do you remember the time when we all use an external storage disc also known as floppy disc to save our data in our computer?  Eventually, people learned to use compact disc and dvd with the aid of CD or DVD writer to save larger files.  But to date, files and data storage and management has turned far more efficient, faster to open and easy to carry and bring along with the flash drive.  Flash drive is the most portable plugged-in storage device in the high tech world of files management.  Flash drive is more kind of a memory card or chip that can be connected via usb port.  Unlike the memory card which requires a card reader, the flash drive is a plug and play device.  Storage capacity can range from 64mb up to 256gig, compatible with all known operating system.  With the invention of flash drive, our PC and laptops becomes more compact and lighter. I still remember my first laptop, an IBM thinkpad with a floppy disc drive. So bulky and cumbersome.  Now, most mini laptops have usb port for flash drive and the absence of optical disc drive for DVD. 

Flash drive is a portable hard drive you can bring anywhere. How cool is that.

Choosing The Right Laptop For You

Before buying the right laptop, consider these features:

The processor or CPU is the heart of  the computers and laptops.  Consider the power and version (latest is the best choice) depending on your requirements and budget. Intel and AMD are the only manufacturers of processor.

The memory of the laptops determines the speed and efficiency of your machine.  The bigger the memory, the faster it work.  Of course, bigger memory means bigger budget for you. 

The connectivity of the laptop is very important.  Make sure it has at least two USB connection and at least one firewire connection.  It should be WiFi ready and with Bluetooth connectivity. 

The compactability and weight of the laptop is quite essential too.  Make sure it’s sturdy enough and you can carry it without much effort on your part.  The heat coming from the bottom of the machine should also be checked.

Not all laptops have optical drive or dvd player or writer.  Usually, mini laptops have no optical drive, but can be installed with an external driver. 

The display screen or LCD depends on the number of pixels and size of the screen.  Higher number of pixels are more expensive.

Corsair Microsystems USB Drive

This flash drive is one of the best on the market for small memory capacity. By small I intend 16GB, which is just perfect to carry around your music files, video clips and other important files like documents and other such things. Some people boast about the fact that this particular pen drive can resist various ‘accidents’, showing just how reliable and rugged it is. I tried various things and found some to be true, others a bit less. The water proof thing is somewhat true, as long as you don’t submerge it completely for a long time. I left in in for a few minutes ans the USB would be recognized by my computer once every three to five times. As per the SUV running over it, well let’s just say that with a compact car the memory device still worked perfectly even after driving over it. The rubber casing clearly works well and is quite durable. The ‘rugged’ look also makes the USB more interesting and appealing to look at. Data isn’t transferred at a lightning fast speed, but pretty quickly nonetheless. All in all it is a great product, sold a t a competitive price and a USB which will last you quite some time. You won’t be able to do demanding things like video editing within it but it is incredibly useful to store important things.

Universal Cell Phone Charger

With Apple rolling out new products (including a rumored iPhone Nano) every six months, and their absence from the recent announcement concerning the development of a charger that will work with any phone, will the universal charger be successful?

I believe so. Even with Apple’s refusal to alter the design of its popular iPhone to fit with industry standards, there are plenty of other phone manufacturers that are perfectly willing to adapt.

I know I get irritated when I can’t find the charger to my phone, and it would be great if I could just borrow someone else’s. I’m all for it.
