Leave the charger at home, folks! That's a realistic option now with this new unit from the Exilim family. Unless you plan on taking more than a thousand shots on your holiday...
Yes, it's got all the goodies you would expect in a top-end compact camera: just a penny shy of 300 bucks and by mid-July you can be the proud owner of a 12MP beauty that is particularly suited for your travels.
We're bringing you a detailed report as soon as it's available. |

Gadget testing generally involves a bit of tethering to a location, but with the Qstarz Explore 2000 I have a licence to roam. The QStarz Explore 2000 is a GPS enabled sports recorder designed to record, manage and analyse your sporting movements in the great outdoors. Thanks to Qstarz, DigitalReviews is heading for the great outdoors ... risking life and limb in the depths of a cold Melbourne winter, the "swine-flu capital of Australia".

While we are busy putting together our review of the SmartStor NS4600 NAS device, Promise Technology have announced the sister unit: The SmartStor DS4600. While the DS4600 lacks its older sibling's ethernet port, it features USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 (x2) and eSATA ports for maximum flexibility.
This new unit will allow users to easily setup RAID 5, RAID 0 or RAID 1 storage arrays, allowing for up to 7.2TB of storage when in RAID 0 configuration (hard drives not included).
And All this for under $400US!
While these will go on sale in late June, we're looking forward to having a DS4600 in our labs for testing a little earlier, ready to follow up on our upcoming review of its big brother, the NS4600. |

What's the biggest problem with Network Attached Storage systems?
That's right: they are hard to set up and configure for the average Joe. Now that the market is moving towards having NAS in every home because we need the convenience and capacities, time has come for what is boldly proclaimed as Zero Configuration by the folks at Promise Technology. There is no need now to fully understand RAID technology or be conversant with SMB, AFP and similar acronyms.
How well will this work? Because if it does it will be a godsend for most people and even most computer stores, struggling with the high rate of return for these units when people are frustrated in trying to configure these units.
How did Promise manage to make it so simple?

A quick update from the Promise Technology front: the Promise SmartStor NS4600 NAS which we reviewed recently here is available now.
You might recall that the SmartStor NS4600 boasts support for up to 4 SATA 3G Hard Drives (which are not included), is built on Intels EP80579 Processor running at 600 MHZ, and includes 256MB of DDRII Memory. It has 1 Ethernet, 2 USB 2.0 Ports and 1 eSATA Port. You can expect sequential write performance to average in the mid 30s (MB/s) and sequential read performance to average in the mid 40s (MB/s).We'll have an even more in-depth review on this sleek and quiet achiever coming very soon! |

We've been publishing quite a few reviews on NAS units lately here on DigitalReviews.net -- and we're not done yet!
In them we always talk about RAID configurations and provide a brief explanation when we do so.
But sometimes it's good to get more than just a quick reminder and dig into a solid overview of all the RAID possibilities.
Well, our friends at OZHardware did just that and here's the link to an excellent article.
They haven't mentioned RAID 10 yet but there are two more advanced write-ups coming!
Thanks, guys!
