The need for wireless networking is almost a certainty given the amount of internet capable equipment is an average home.  Just count the potential  devices such as PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, TV, Blu-ray player, fridge, the list can go on and on.  The speed of the wireless network needs to be sufficient to handle for example, high definition videos.  D-Link has generously provided DigitalReviews with a DAP-1522 Xtreme N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point and a DWA-160 Xtreme N Dual Band USB Adapter for this review.

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!

Jabra has been a generous provider of products to DigitalReviews Network, and without doubt their recent products have earned some well deserved praise.  DigitalReviews now takes the Jabra M5390 Multiuse Headset for some serious testing and see how it performs.  Again, I would like to thank Jabra for their on-going support.

Here at DigitalReviews we have had our fair share of coverage of the digital photo frame genre and usually coming away with mixed impressions.  With the recent launch of the Kodak EasyShare W1020 Wireless Digital Frame, Kodak has kindly provided an unit to DigitalReviews to roadtest.  Do we have an stand out product on our hands?
