Firewire flash drive
USB 2.0 may be fast, but Firewire is even faster. This flash drive has a Firewire connection instead of the usual USB, making it lightning fast and perfect for transferring large files.
There are, however, two major drawbacks. First of all, not all computers have a Firewire port, while USB is everywhere. Second, it’s expensive as [...]

Wicked ice cube trays
Say goodbye to boring old ice cubes! With these incredibly cool (pun not intended) ice cube trays you’ll definitely draw at least some attention. By the way, could you still call these things ‘cubes’? After all, they aren’t really cubes. These trays are made of silicone rubber, so it’s easy to get the cubes out. [...]
256GB SSD!!!
Seems like the capacity of solid state drives is rising faster than I can write about it! Now PQI has launched a 256 GB drive! Earlier today I reported about a 64GB drive, but this one has four times that capacity.

Of course, if it was just another memory card, nobody would care about it, but one [...]
Corsair Flash Survivor survives beating
A while ago I posted an article about the Corsair Flash Survivor, claimed to be the toughest USB drive ever. Phoronix has tested exactly how tough it is!
Here’s the torment the poor device had to endure: get drowned in a chlorinated pool, boiled in water for several minutes and a beating with a hammer. Apparently, [...]
Self-powered torch
Most of us probably have a torch lying somewhere in a drawer or cupboard. It often lies there unused for years, and when you finally need it one day… dead batteries! This flashlight solves this problem. It doesn’t contain batteries. Instead, there’s a coil of copper wire in it, and a permanent magnet. When you [...]
