Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Storage, Toys,
Another gimmicky USB 2.0 memory stick. The Nail holds 2GB and comes at a size of 9 x 3.4cm for $43.39. Leave a hammer lying next to it and you might get some attention from your co-workers. When they get too close, you know that no one will steal it if you also have your USB Guard Dog plugged in. With built-in sensor, Desktop Rex will growl if anyone gets close. He can also run on 3 AA batteries (not included) for $21.69.

FAK3 Elliptical Wooden Cabinet
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home,
The firm FAK3 designed this very unique piece of furniture. The Elliptical Wooden Cabinet rotates 360º with sides that house a keyboard, desk, storage center, and TV. It is made with industrial strength ball bearings that can support up to 2 tons. Large as it is, it only takes one finger to rotate the cabinet. Because it has an off-centered axis, when the unit turns, each side is has its own design. We want one!

USB Fruit Flash Drive
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Storage,
We remember showing you some USB flash drives that resembled pizza and burgers a while back. Apparently they were relished by many (pun intended,) so now there are more of them to love. The Fruit Flash Drives hold 4 GB of data, come in strawberry and watermelon, support Window 2000/XP/Vista or MAC OS, and are plug and play for $28.00 each. Brando has some available in cookies (although they refer to them as biscuits) and BBQ flavors as well.

Data Robotics releases second gen Drobo
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, PC / Laptop, Storage,
Yesterday, we would have said that Drobo is the best external storage solution out there, but today’s news cements that statement. The folks at Data Robotics have just announced the second generation Drobo, and this one is a doozy. The new Drobo is faster inside and out, and we are impressed. First and foremost, Drobo now features two FireWire 800 ports, while maintaining the USB 2.0 connection of the original Drobo. The two ports mean you can daisy chain these bad boys together. The core processor has also been upgraded, so Drobo feels snappier to boot. They’ve also done some firmware tweaking, so now heavy load won’t start bogging down Drobo’s software. What does all this mean? The new Drobo is more than twice as fast as the original at reading data, and almost twice as fast as writing data as well.
In terms of pricing, the good news is that there is no price increase. The second generation Drobo can be purchased on its own for $499 USD. If you want a couple of 1TB drives thrown in, then the bundle will run you $899. If you want to go all out and bundle in 4 1TB drives, then that will cost you $1,299. That’s the best deal on the market quite frankly, as Data Robotics just buys their drives direct from drive manufacturers and doesn’t mark up pricing when bundling them with Drobo units. With the new speeds, Drobo is starting to look like a location for primary storage rather than just secondary. We like where this is heading.
The second-gen Drobo is compatible with the DroboShare NAS add-on, and if you are upgrading from the older model, you can simply pull the drives right out of those and drop them into the new model, and you will be up and running immediately. If you prefer to keep the older version, and just want to chain it to the newer model, you can do that too.
