Toshiba Canvio Basics – Special Edition – 2TB Reviewed

Caught up in the allure of gloriously fast NVM.e SSDs, I sometimes forget that the maligned “spinning rust” drives of yore and old are still a great solution for data archival and backups. Think I’ve found some cold storage for…

Kioxia U365 256GB USB Flash Drive Reviewed

Kioxia’s U365 flash drive is what I’d describe as “big, but slow.” Weighing in at 256GB the drive I tested is far beyond the capacity you might need for “sneaker net” transporting of files between computers. USB in. USB out!…

TrekPod Goes XL

I posted a brief bit of coverage on the TrekPod Hiking Staff cum Tripod back in June of 2008 (Wow, it’s really 2009 now!). It was clearly a solid product in both build and performance because JP Distribution have followed…

Sandberg Multi Card Reader Reviewed
