Hands On: Synology DiskStation DS-111
With Synology’s DiskStation DS-111, the company’s entry level consumer NAS server, we’re now at the (roughly) £150/$200 mark for a diskless device – still more expensive than direct attached storage (especially with current hard disk prices), but packing a swathe of value added features that you’d previously expect to find only in higher end devices. Whilst the hardcore enthusiast may well prefer a 4-bay powerhouse, could the single bay DS-111 be the right NAS for the masses? Let’s find out.

Hands On: Lite-On eSEU206 External Slim Blu-ray Disc Combo
The last portable optical drive review I wrote was almost two years for the Lite-On eTAU208 DVD/CD Rewritable Drive. For a cost of only $50, you had a very compact DVD/CD optical drive you could hook up to a USB 2.0 port of any computer. A lot has changed since then and Lite-On is back with a BD capable version in the form of the eSEU206 Optical Drive.
Hands On: iTwin
The USB Drive Reinvented – that’s the bold claim of iTwin, a USB dongle for Mac and PC which allows remote connection of two computers without the need for the usual network headaches. Plug one iTwin into your first computer at home, the second into the remote computer, share files and folders. Remote file sharing for the masses? Sounds too good to be true? Let’s find out.
