Solid state drives are still quite expensive, however it has many advantages such as lower operating power consumption and generates less heat. Now, 2.5-inch SSD is nice but for an external storage, the smaller the better; so Buffalo made the SHD-UHRS external SSD with smaller dimensions in mind. The external USB 2.0 drive is almost the same size as a credit card and comes with 100GB of drive space. This 60 grams external SSD drive will cost you a hefty 100.000 Yen or around $885.

If you’ve never heard of DD-WRT, it’s a gamer’s best friend. More specifically, it is a firmware that can be used on many popular routers to give you greater control over it. I’ve personally installed it on a cheap Buffalo router and currently use it to make my Xbox 360 connect to the internet wirelessly without having to purchase Microsoft’s $100 adapter. Like I said, a gamer’s best friend.
I do my fair share of traveling, and one of the worst parts about it is leaving all of my data at home. Yes, I could carry around external hard drives, but that’s a pain. I usually keep a lot of files that I might need on my laptop, but it never fails, there’s always something sitting on my NAS at home that I need.
