Every time Samsung releases a new phone in the Galaxy lineup it seems we are doing a quick review of some essential accessories, courtesy of our friends at MobileZap.
This time around we also stuck with the original Samsung products in the hope of a better user experience.
We might change our mind on one of these products though...
Whenever a storage company announces a new model you can be sure of one thing: the first paragraph in their press report will read something like this –
Synology® today launched the new DiskStation DS1515, a powerful and expandable 5-bay NAS offering a high-performance, reliable, and full-featured network attached storage solution for growing small and medium-sized businesses.
Of course we expect high-performance and the utmost in reliability. That's a given.
And nothing less than full featured network features will do. After all, that's why we buy a network attached storage system.
So what makes the DiskStation DS1515 different from all the others we have reviewed?
Let's have a quick overview.
The QNAP TS-451U is the entry-level rack mounted NAS for SoHos and small businesses. Does this low(er) cost, 4-bay 1RU rackmount unit have what it takes to do the job? With thanks to QNAP, DigitalReviews gets to check out this unit.
"In the entry-level rack-mountable NAS segment, we are glad to be the first NAS company to introduce the energy-efficient, 64-bit Celeron®-powered TS-451U, which is designed for budget-conscious SOHO users to store and back up data without sacrificing performance," said Jason Hsu, product manager of QNAP. "Coupled with feature-rich business applications, QvPC Technology, Virtualization Station and 1080p video transcoding, the TS-451U delivers the best cost-effectiveness for growing business data needs."
The DS115 is Synology's latest single drive bay Networked Attached Storage (NAS) device. Along with our usual hardware review, we also take a look at how the DS115 works in tandem with the free Surveillance Station software package to control multiple IP cameras.

Terms like virtual reality and augmented reality have been around for some time and it is only fairly recently that we have some applications and hardware available for consumers to test out these concepts.
One of the arguably better headsets seems to be the Zeiss VR One, which is the one that MobileZap sent us to test out.
Did it live up to expectations?
Well, it shows great potential, but...
let's see how it all panned out for me.
Late last year we took a look at the revolutionary Beddit Sleep Tracker and Wellness Coach and loved the non-wearable concept.
In February Beddit introduced a cloud based web portal to enable groups to gather and compare their sleep data.
To put it to the test, the members of my family have each been using a Beddit Sleep Tracker and via the new Family portal, collectively shared our sleep data for the past few months.
Read on for our experiences.
We all know we can't have enough external storage devices. Great for backup, sharing, travelling. Most of them have their own housing and power supplies but when you do a heart transplant on your laptop and put in an SSD, what are you gonna do with that naked hard drive you just pulled out? It probably has more capacity than that SSD but you need to have an enclosure for that.
That's where the VisionTek Wallet Drive comes in. The cheapest and best solution to get many more years out of that drive.
It's a very simple accessory so we can keep this mini review also pretty simple.
I didn't realise that it was already more than three years ago that we reviewed the original Aegis Secure Key.
See our article here.
We highly recommended that little critter for its security in such a tiny USB key package.
Now it's a slightly bigger edition that Apricorn sent us the other day: this time around it sports USB 3.0, it's a bootable drive and it has much higher capacities.
So let's have a quick roundup of some of the main specifications and differences.
It's been nearly 2 years since we took a good look at the Sony SmartWatch 2 which had just been released then. It is a bit surprising that this watch is still being offered for sale well after its successor has become available. So what made this one a stayer? Can it still compete in the marketplace?
Sometimes it's good to have a look at a product when it is fully mature and when MobileZap sent us this one rather than the anticipated Sony SmartWatch 3 we departed from our usual approach to write only about the latest and the greatest...
So is the Sony SmartWatch 2 still worthy of your consideration?
