    A reasonably priced two-bay NAS device with good performance
    Synology's DiskStation DS209+II network-attached storage (NAS) device provides up to 4TB of storage over two hard drives.

    LaCie Rikiki (500GB) portable hard drive 06 January, 2010 13:40:00

    LaCie's smallest hard drive is also one of its most useful
    LaCie's latest portable hard drive, the Rikiki, isn't named after the monkey from The Lion King. According to the company, Rikiki means "tiny" in French, and the name is certainly appropriate.

    Seagate's BlackArmor WS 110 external hard drive offers hardware-based encryption

    Synology's five-bay NAS device is cheap yet incredibly quick

It offers fast file transfers and a wealth of security and business-focussed features, making the DiskStation DS509+ NAS worthwhile for small to medium businesses.

    HP LaserJet P2035n monochrome laser printer 15 January, 2010 15:15:00

    A quick HP laser printer with network connectivity
    HP's LaserJet P2035n monochrome laser printer is quick and it lets you print using custom media. However, the cost of its consumables and the lack of automatic duplexing make the asking price unreasonable.

    Western Digital's first USB 3.0 hard drive is lightning fast
    Western Digital's My Book 3.0 is its first external hard drive with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, making it one of the fastest direct-attached storage devices around. The benefits of the interface are certainly noticeable, though the premium price will deter early adopters.

    As strange as it might sound, there are times when I wish for the old days of the Internet circa the early 1990's. The days of Mosaic and Lynx, where there was no Flash, no Javascript and no Java. A simpler time where protecting your privacy and security wasn't as essential as it is today.
