StarTech’s SATA Dock & Duplicator: Handy, not Revolutionary

September 10, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

One of the things I like about my new laptop is the eSATA port—even though I don’t have any eSATA external hard drives yet. (I’m sure there’s someone out there who could correct that little oversight.) SATA (Serial ATA) is a faster way to connect your hard drive to your motherboard; most newer computers use it instead of the older EIDE standard.

He has hundreds now, since he has never thrown any away; some contain data copied from floppy disks or magnetic tape, back in the olden days. Optical … [Read more...]

Buffalo Goes Metro in San Francisco

August 29, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

A few days ago I got a phone call from my BFF Jay Pechek at Buffalo Technology, apologizing profusely for not responding  immediately to my initial queries about Raid Troubles in Europe and his DriveStation. It turns out Jay was on vacation in Colombia and completely without Internet access for a few weeks.
