Japanese accessory manufacturer Umazone have outdone themselves with a hard-drive caddy that will likely strike a chord with anyone doing regular software installs.  The Umazone UMA-ISO looks like a regular 2.5-inch HDD drive enclosure; however it also has a small display and, on the side, a jog wheel, which can be used to flick through ISO CD and DVD images stored on the drive inside.  Once selected, plugging the UMA-ISO into a host computer is pretty much the same as dropping the original disc into a CD/DVD drive.

Most digital libraries flourishing and ubiquitous connectivity spreading, having access to our personal data and media wherever we are is looking all the more appealing. NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices have had the ability to share via broadband for years, but most owners don’t take advantage of it; into the mixture steps Seagate, whose new FreeAgent DockStar takes the company’s FreeAgent Go USB hard-drive and makes remotely sharing its content incredibly easy. Obvious addition to every home network, or is there a sting in the tail? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

We’ve a soft spot for Clickfree’s straightforward backup drives, ever since playing with some of the early hardware back in March and discovering it was simple enough even to get a lazy SlashGear editor (i.e. me) to regularly backup.  Now Clickfree are back with their next-gen drives, the C2 series.  As well as basic usability improvements – there’s now an attached USB cable that tucks away in a cut-out on the back, meaning forgetting the cord is no longer a valid excuse – the Clickfree C2 also adds in some more advanced functionality.

Verbatim have announced a new external hard-drive, though you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a set of kitchen scales.  The InSight USB Portable Hard Drive has an always-on LCD which permanently displays the drive’s name and its capacity; it’s updated every time the InSight is connected or disconnected from the host PC or Mac.

Corsair’s new 128GB Flash Voyager GT thumb-drive is, the company claims, so speedy that its throughput is effectively limited by the capacity of a USB 2.0 port.  That either means that USB 3.0 can’t come quickly enough, or that Corsair’s engineers basically wasted their time and could’ve slacked off in the latter stages of the Voyager GT’s development.

Backup remains a guilty chore many people avoid, and yet plenty of us are already carrying around a potential backup device. Most people don’t think of it that way, but your iPod is a huge chunk of storage just waiting to be repurposed as a portable hard-drive.

Verbatim announced a new flash drive today that is seriously small. Dubbed the TUFF ‘N’ TINY, this USB drive is really about the thickness of a penny and measures in at only 1″ by 0.5″.
