Peripherals

I am always looking for a decent docking station.  As much as it is very convenient when travelling to tech events, more so, I am always looking for the perfect answer to office convenience.  Reaching behind the PC to find just the right port, or even plugging a device in the PC front when its cabling just isn’t long enough …

As a camera and computer geek, I am always in search of the perfect peripherals for my PC. Quite frankly, I am always looking for anything that keeps me from having to reach around the back of the PC.  My perfect solution might be dual Tbt3 with 40Gbps transfer, have power delivery and also have SD and MicroSD card slots …

Every now and then at The SSD Review, we like to throw things in that we find useful, although they may not be directly ‘flash storage’ related.  Personally, I am a storage speed junkie so anything I can get my hands on that accomplishes that is good to go.  This is a bit different though.  It is the Plugable USB-C …

OWC has been in the storage game for some time and our first review of their first SSD goes back some 9 years now.  Throughout the years, they have primarily gained success with Mac add-ons or replacement items, such as SSDs, but we have always been the first to say that OWC is just as valuable as a PC resource.  …

If asked, there really is no way to put a total on the number of systems we have built throughout the years.  It has to be above 100.  In all instances, we gain a great deal of support through manufacturers and, as I look back, there is one manufacturer that seems to get overlooked more often than not; Icy Dock.  …

Technology that makes life simple is a bit easier said then done and something we always strive for.   Technically speaking, the cloud does just that but, let’s be honest…people want their files within reach.  iCloud is a great example of this as, regardless of how easy it is to set up and secure, people don’t want their files located somewhere …

For a storage reviewer, there is no better discovery than something that cuts the time of storage reviews as most can take a week or longer. We first spoke of this  in 2010 when we reviewed the Vantec External Dock which didn’t quite meet our needs. This report examines the HighPoint 5322 Dual eSATA 6Gbps External Dock, along with their …

With the popularity of mSATA SSDs being all the rage as of late, it was only a matter of time before a new PCIe adapter was introduced that might allow users to take advantage of that extra storage should they find an mSATA SSD at a great price. Our review today will look at the new OWC Mercury AccelsiorM mSATA …

While taking a look in the CeBit Labs today, we came across something that we just had to write about, Tobiii Technology Eye Tracking and Gaze Interaction. Basically, anything you can do with a mouse, you can do with your eyes and we were so impressed that we had to give it a shot. The concept is relatively simple.  You …

Today’s review will be just a bit different as we transition from the typical SSD review to that of CPU as Intel was nice enough to send along a newly released Sandy Bridge E i7-3820 for us to take a look at. The timing of this review couldn’t be more appropriate as many will be looking for that ‘last minute’ …
