Aegis Bio
Have you ever gotten excited by reading a spec sheet?
I have, particularly when I’m in the market for a certain product and the spec sheet ticks all the boxes.
Such was the case before I received the latest external hard drive from Apricorn.
Wait, you say, getting turned on by a hard drive?
Yes, and it’s not even a full Terabyte...but wait till you see how it is packaged!
I’m talking about the Apricorn Aegis BIO Encrypted Biometric 640MB drive.
So what’s so great about this product?

Thecus N2200 NAS

In an effort to strengthen its NAS (network attached storage) lineup for the home or small office, Thecus has released the new N2200.  Designed to be easy to setup and use, it offers enterprise-class data protection combined with rich multimedia features.  Because this is meant for the home, ease-of-use is a key concept since it needs to be easily accessible and useful to a larger audience.   In addition, the hardware needs to be easy to configure and setup, while having a design that can easily fit within a home environment.  If a company can build a product that performs well in all these, I’m sure the product will be a hit.  But from my past experience, each NAS product always seems to have certain strengths and weaknesses.  Let’s begin by having a look at the product.

Axus FiT RAID Chassis

From time to time DigitalReviews is approached to review products because of our reputation for unbiased, no holds barred reviews.  I have to admit that I never heard of Axus in my travels, but they have kindly provided two of their FiT RAID Series chassis for our reviewing pleasure.  Axus is a Taiwanese company that appears to specialise in storage - large amounts of it at 16 or 24 bays with fibre channel or SCSI interfaces.  The Fit Series is their new foray into the lower end of the market and we will be reviewing the FiT 300E and the FiT 500E.

So how do these stack up?

DS4600
Here's another in-depth review by our resident NASologist, Paul Moons

 

RAID data security and massive amounts of storage space are usually followed by the words Networked Attached Storage.

With Promise Technology's new DS4600 you can now avoid all the complicated networking mumbo jumbo and connect a RAID device directly to your computer via USB, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 or eSATA.

Read on for our review.

QNAP TS-809 Pro (left), TS-439 Pro (Right)
Today at DigitalReviews we are looking at two all-in-one NAS Pro units from QNAP, the TS-439 Pro and the TS-809 Pro.  On paper, both of these Network Attached Storage (NAS) units are the most fully featured and capable devices we have seen on our reviewers' tables. 

First of all, acknowledgements to Achieva Technology Australia Pty Ltd and BlueChip InfoTech Pty Ltd who kindly made these units available for our testing.

A little under six months ago we took a look at the NS2300N and NS4300N SmartStor Network Attached Storage RAID solutions. The new NS4600 is the latest NAS/RAID in Promise Technology's line up and looks to improve on their already solid SmartStor range.

Read on for our review of the new NS4600, along with some thoughts on our time with the two older Promise units - six months on.

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!
