Every year, or maybe even less, new computer technologies hit the consumer market. Some are revolutionary and some are just plain marketing hype. The new USB 3.0 interface is part of the former; it introduced new ground breaking speeds and maintained compatibilities, ensuring that every USB device out there will be supported. Since this is a fairly new technology, not all motherboard come standard with USB 3.0 ports. If you want to take advantage of this new interface, there’s no need to rip apart your old PC and get a new motherboard. With a vacant PCI express slot, you can easily enjoy all the advantages of a USB 3.0 interface by using the LaCie USB 3.0 PCI Express Card.
This PCI express card adds two USB 3.0 ports to your PC and integrates NEC component to supply the highest level of performance and compatibility. Enhancing your computer’s performance is now very manageable by adding the LaCie USB 3.0 PCI Express Card to the computer’s PCI express slot. The USB 3.0 interface is known for its superior speed and fastest technology available that can reach up to 5Gb/s. In addition, since USB 2.0 is still widely used, the LaCie USB 3.0 PCI Express Card is backward compatible with USB 2.0 that can reach up to 480 Mb/s. It is compatible to Windows XP, Vista, 7, Server 2008, and Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7.
No matter how many back up files you have in your hard disk if the hard disk itself is feeble enough to endure the extreme conditions and gets damaged, chances are you’ll just lost your precious data. What you need is a reliable storage device like the new ADATA SH14 USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. This storage device is perfect for people with active lifestyles and those that need an excellent performing hard drive.
Guess what’s back? Back again. Something’s back. Tell a friend. Guess what’s back, guess what’s back, guess what’s back… (*insert hums here). Are you curious? No it’s not some shady rapper, but the renowned LaCie Rugged external hard disk drive that’s back. The LaCie Rugged Hard Drive is now smaller than ever (dimension of mere 3.4 x 5.3 x 0.75 in.) and it’s back ready to take on rougher rumblin’ and stumblin’. Still sporting the Series’ original orange color and popular design, the new LaCie Rugged Mini comes with whole new features and options that turn this hard drive into a perfect mobile storage and backup solution.
Like its predecessors, the LaCie Rugged Mini Hard Disk is shock and drop-resistant thanks to its rubber sleeve; but it doesn’t end there. The new Mini is also tougher than ever, it is now rain-resistant and more importantly – it’s pressure-resistant to the point of surviving being run over by a 1 Ton truck! The LaCie Rugged Mini’s advanced ultra-tough exterior offers the hard drive inside the perfect protection against shocks, drops, rain water, and extreme pressures. Aside from external protection, the Rugged Mini portable HDD additionally comes with user-friendly applications like Private-Public secured access, Backup Assistant, Eco-Mode, and 10GB Wuala Secure Online Storage.
