Iomega v.Clone promises easy portable virtualization

, Jan 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

Iomega's new v.Clone app may not have the instant appeal of a shiny new piece of hardware, but it's a pretty neat piece of software that will be included on several of the company's external drives.  Iomega v.Clone aims to bring straightforward virtualization of a primary PC to a home audience, packing a clone of the OS together with all applications, settings and documents onto a removable drive which can later be booted into onto a second machine.

Seagate FreeAgent DockStar review

, Oct 16th 2009 Discuss [1]

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.

, Oct 13th 2009 Discuss [0]

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.

Corsair 128GB Flash Voyager GT: pointlessly fast?

, Aug 13th 2009 Discuss [0]

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.
