We all know how important it is to back up our computers regularly. However, an onsite backup can’t protect your data against fire or flood, unless it’s is stored on ioSafe’s new Solo. ioSafe is known for making internal hard drives that can survive extreme heat. Now, with the ioSafe Solo, the company is offering an external drive model that can protect against fire and water. According to the company, the Solo can withstand fires up to 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit, as per the ASTM E119 industry standard. The Solo

Lower-than-expected shipments of Intel's 4-series chipsets have caught motherboard makers off guard, leaving Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology carrying overstocks of 4-series-based motherboards which are rapidly depreciating in value as Intel prepares to launch its next-generation chipset series, according to motherboard industry sources.

Shipments of 4-series products have been low due to declining market demand and competition from low-cost PCs, the sources commented. First-tier motherboard makers took on large inventory amounts from Intel under concerns they may lose supply priority or price discounts, the sources claimed. Asustek Computer is said to have taken the largest hit and currently still carries an inventory of 6-7 million units, equivalent to around NT$6 billion (US$180.57 million) in value, while Gigabyte Technology is said to be holding an inventory worth NT$4-5 billion, according to sources at the companies.

Coolage Frozen Orb Z924 HDC Heatsink Review @ Frostytech.com and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“Coolage's Frozen Orb Z924 HDC heatsink makes use of the trendy “heatpipe direct contact” technique, except this time we're looking at a modified thermal design Coolage originally manufactured with a copper base plate. That heatsink was the Freezer Orb F0-Z924AL. Can a heatsink be retooled into an effective exposed heatpipe base CPU cooler if it wasn't originally designed as such? That's just one of the questions Frostytech will seek to answer in this review.”

Despite the poor economy, one product did particularly well this holiday season: the Blu-ray Disc. Recent figures indicate a tripling of sales from the previous year. It’s been quite the year for Blu-ray. If you’ll recall, Warner Brothers withdrew its support for Blu-ray’s competitor, HD-DVD, just before CES last year. Just a few months after that, Toshiba (the creator of HD-DVD) threw in the towel and said it would stop making players for the discs. Given that Blu-ray is the winner of the high-definition disc

Maintaining a wireless network in a business environment can be a royal pain in the neck. Just because your wireless network worked flawlessly yesterday, doesn’t mean that some new and unknown electronic device won’t start causing interference today–which could slow your wireless network down or possibly render it inoperable altogether. For many businesses these days, keeping a wireless network up and running is mission critical; and being able to find the source of interference and the ability to do something

On the heels of the phishing attacks on Twitter and Digg, where all that immediately seemed to be at risk were logon credentials to the social sites, comes a potentially much more insidious problem.Security vendor Trusteer has found a JavaScript bug in all major browsers makes it easier for crooks to steal your login information while you’re doing your online banking. It’s called “in-session phishing,” and what makes it more difficult to detect is that it happens when you’re already logged into your banking

On our yearly jaunts to the Las Vegas to attend the Consumer Electronics Show, we meet with numerous companies and see a myriad of products–some we can, and some we can’t talk about–in what is always an absolute whirlwind of a trip. This year was no exception. Although the show itself wasn’t quite as big as it has been in previous years in terms of attendance, it was nevertheless loaded with cool products and technology that filled not only the Las Vegas Convention center, but multiple surrounding venues,

Today Seagate has announced two new models of its award winning and industry mainstay Cheetah enterprise class hard drives, the Cheetah 15K.7 and Cheetah NS.2. What’s really significant about these models is that they are 3.5” form factor drives in larger than previously available (SAS) capacities. This means that companies with server and storage arrays that already have backplanes and rack sleds for 3.5” drives can be upgraded in capacity without having to be replaced thus increasing the equipments lifecycle.

At the Consumer Electronics Show last week, NVIDIA was showing off a new reference platform that they were calling the world's smallest fully capable visual computer. Features like DirectX 10 graphics, NVIDIA CUDA technology, and HD video are now possible in a 3″ x 4″ motherboard. This PC is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand with room left to spare.
