Dual HDD Docking Station Transfers via eSATA

dual-hdd-esata

How much data you packin’ over there? Enough to have extra hard drives laying around, full of media? This Dual HDD Docking Station allows for any two 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA harddisks to connect to your computer via the eSATA port.

This plug-and-play driverless docking station is great if you just want to have all of your data supplied to one computer at one time and the eSATA support is great for those of you who are into that sort of thing.

Thanks to Brando for the tip!

It’s A Cup. No, It’s A Hard Drive. No, It’s A Cup

I’ve got a problem with designer Franco Marino Cagnina’s external hard drive concept. It’s not the fact that it’s 100% recyclable which gets to me, that’s just fine and dandy. It’s the fact that it looks exactly like a cup which really bothers me.

That’s not to say I don’t approve of a design change over the traditional square box with cables that is typical of most hard drives. I know, by looking at this design, that it’d be mistaken for my morning coffee and dumped in the trash with the rest of the garbage. So much for my terabytes of porn.

toshiba 100gbToshiba’s newly announced MK1011GAH is a 100 GB 1.8 inch hard disk, and it begs the question: 100GB iPod? This new hard drive spins at 4200 rpm, measures in at 54×71x8 mm, and weighs 59g.with every MP3 player on the market stuck at 80GB, a new 100GB hard drive is a welcome addition. We’ve all had ample time with her 80GB players to grow our music, photos and video collection to well over the 80GB mark. Doesn’t everybody want to keep everything on one place at one time? Unfortunately this hard drive will not be available for Christmas, it will be out in January 2007. Santa won’t have any of hundred gigabyte iPods on his sleigh this year. — Nik Gomez
