Samsung is a brand that might not immediately come to mind for most users when they think of hard drives, but those in the know have likely been using them for a while. In this review, we’re looking at Samsung’s updated green hard drive, the Spinpoint F4EG (EG for EcoGreen). Building on the success of

After going through standard retail channels, we’ve managed to get our hands on two brand new 60GB OCZ Vertex 2’s. The first is a latest-generation 60GB 25nm NAND model, the second an older stock 34nm NAND version.

The Addonics CipherChain ExpressCard gives your ExpressCard 34/54-equipped notebook the ability to connect to eSATA or USB external storage devices. Additionally, when using an eSATA drive, the Addonics card can provide hardware-based AES 256-bit full-disk encryption.  In this brief review we put this Addonics device through some quick tests to make sure it works as advertised.
