The Joy of Unboxing

I never understood why everyone is so obsessed about "unboxing" videos, it baffled me even more why I loved unboxing videos as much. Like seriously, "unboxing" isn't even a word. Is it the surprise factor of not knowing what's inside, or maybe it's the krinkly sound that the packaging makes. Sometimes the packaging is as ingenius as the product itself. Well, I was bored the other day, and so I opened youtbe and put together a video that illustrates the real sensation

Use old internal hard drives for free storage

Use old internal hard drives for free storage Have an unused internal hard drive sitting around? Maybe you upgraded a laptop hard drive to a bigger capacity, or you pulled an internal drive from a desktop PC before selling it. You can put either kind back to work as extra, free storage. Inside a desktop PC: 2.5-inch laptop and 3.5-inch PC SATA drives use identical connections, which means that a recent laptop hard drive can work instantly. If you want to install a laptop drive in a PC, remembe… Continue

Don't Waste Your Money; Turn Your iPod Into External Storage

When it comes to external storage, the iPod really goes overlooked. It may look small, but some of these devices can pack up to 160Gb of data! Don't go out and buy a new external drive for a hundred bucks or so; if you have an old or current iPod laying around, use it to store your data. It is extremely portable and easily accessible through USB. Here's a few simple steps to make your iPod storage capable. 1. Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes does not automatically open, open up iTun… Continue

The Ultimate External Hard Drive.

Thnk about it... what is your ultimate external hard drive? There are many different sizes and styles and formats but think about it... what is the ultimate external hard drive? Some people think that Firewire is the best, which it could be but it's not as readily available as USB 2.0. Even so the Firewire usually provided on a PC is Firewire 400, which is slower than USB 2.0. Now if you have a Mac you will get Firewire 800, unless you get a new macbook, and Firewire 800 is faster than USB 2.0 b… Continue

I really rather dislike either G4 processors, or USB.

About a year ago myself an my mum (mom to my American brethren) chipped together and bought a 500gb external HDD so that my Desktop PC (running Windows at the time) could encompass the enormity of our combined iTunes. As you can see from my specs, both machines I own have puny HDDs, so to store the many films/tv shows we converted from dvd, and my 20 gigabytes of nasty heavy metal music (as well as my mum's rather pathetic 5 gigabytes of pop/rock) an external drive of immense capacity was requir… Continue

External Hard Drives - Where's the security?

While shopping around for external hard drives earlier today (spotted a good deal on a Lacie too) I thought to myself "Can a NAS ever get viruses?" I'm sure they can, and I'm sure they can be very very nasty. What I'd like to hear about from all you wonderful people regards External Hard Drives and NAS antivirus. I was a little disturbed at how little talk there is about this. The reason I'm buying an external hard drive is to back up an old dell. It's about 9 years old at this stage, and it re… Continue
