By Brenda Stokes on Monday, Jun 29th 2009 No Comments

u360cooldrive1 369x480 PQI announced the release of their Cool Drive U360 today, which works by connecting computers by means of the USB port. This gadget makes it so file transfers can be completed between the computers at speeds of up to 17MB/s.

The U360 will be available in sizes spanning from 4GB to 16GB and contains software that’s meant to allow folders between computers sync up. It can also apparently sync Outlook information.

This device can support both PC and Mac operating systems including Windows ME up to Vista and Mac OS X 10.1 or newer. We don’t know the price or release date for the Cool Drive U360 from PQI yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

How can you make your external USB Blu-ray drive better than everyone elses? Well, you could make it a Blu-ray burner, give it a range of connections and make it super-cheap, or you could go the ASUS way and put a great big light-up blue X on the side.

Active Media WWF Penguin flash drives

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jun 10th 2009 No Comments

Every sale of Active Media’s new WWF Penguin USB flash drive may prompt the company to send off a 5-percent donation to the WWF, but we’re hoping it won’t encourage owners to grab poor, innocent penguins, snatch off their upper-bodies and attempt to ram the remainder into the nearest USB port. Real penguins don’t come in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB or 16GB capacities, after all.

LaCie LaCinema Classic Bridge HDD media player

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jun 9th 2009 No Comments

Can we have too many glossy, glowing boxes? LaCie don’t seem to think so, hence their latest toppled-obelisk design, this time housing a hard-drive media player. The LaCie LaCinema Classic Bridge can be used with any existing 3.5-inch hard-drive, outputting upscaled 1080p video via HDMI, but it also has a USB port for external, removable drives.

OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro 500GB 7,200rpm external HDD

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, May 27th 2009 No Comments

In the rush to grab “world’s best” titles, companies will do just about anything. If you’re OWC, you’ll grab a Seagate 500GB 7,200rpm hard-drive, slap it into a cheap looking acrylic caddy and brand it “the largest capacity, fastest bus powered portable storage solution on the market.” Heady words indeed, but once you’re past the hyperbole you’ll probably be more interested in the fact that the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro offers a choice of USB 2.0, FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 interfaces.
