Portable storage solutions are becoming increasingly popular, as more users realise the benefits of being able to carry important documents and even e-mails around with them. The problem, though, is capacity. Zip disks are limited to ...

We don't review hard drives very often on IT Reviews, mainly because the days when end-users regularly upgraded their drives are fading into distant memory. Most new PCs come with hard drives so large that the ...

Seagate's Cheetah 36XL is a 36.7GB, 10,000rpm, Ultra160 SCSI hard disk, and has been designed to provide outstanding performance and high capacity storage for workstations and servers. Does it do exactly what it says on the ...

The IBM Microdrive is a hard drive with a difference, boasting a footprint of less than one square inch and packaged as a Compact Flash Type II card. IBM has increased the capacity of the award-winning ...

Although Seagate does offer a 20.4GB version of this drive, the one we received was the next step up, at 30.6GB. Not that it makes a great deal of difference, since most of the characteristics of ...

One of the newer drives in this group test, the SpinPoint Voyager range was launched by Samsung in September 2000, with an interesting range of features designed to separate it from the crowd. Samsung is not ...

Quantum's big two selling points for this drive are its areal density (how much data you can squeeze into a unit of platter space) and its operating noise, with the company claiming both that the drive ...

Fujitsu's range of drives finds its way into many different computers, not just those of the company's other, PC manufacturing, division. The drive we looked at was the 20.4GB model, using a platter spin speed of ...

Amacom's unique and strange-looking Flipdisk, which has been around for a couple of years, is a blue (and now translucent) gadget, about the size of a large palmtop computer. It has a built-in PCMCIA (PC Card) ...

We recently reviewed Panasonic's new double-speed SuperDisk internal-fit drive. SuperDisk is the high-capacity floppy disk standard which is rapidly gaining popularity in both PC and Apple Mac markets. Imation, the data storage products company spun out ...

The 120MB SuperDisk high-capacity floppy disk standard looks like it might become the de facto successor to the ubiquitous 3.5-inch 1.44MB floppy drive, with which it retains backwards compatibility. We've had a play with one of ...

Hard drives continue to get bigger and faster. Western Digital's new EIDE drive offers nothing particularly new in terms of capacity, since there are other desktop hard drives available with capacities of more than 18GB. But ...

Iomega's new Clik! disk system is, it has to be said, pretty darned impressive. 40MB of storage space on a removable disk which isn't much bigger than an old 50 pence piece is a good deal ...

In these difficult days of over-complicated software and hard-to-configure hardware, a piece of kit which does exactly what it is supposed to is a rare and precious thing. So when the cynical old hacks here at ...

There's little doubt that the Iomega Zip drive is now the market leader in removable storage devices, ahead of its nearest rivals the LS-120 and Sony's HiFD drives. However the Zip's 100MB of storage has started ...

This is one of Fujitsu's recently-introduced EIDE/UltraDMA hard drives. The Desktop Picobird13, also known as the MPD3173AT, may have a strange name, but it has a lot to offer system builders or end-user upgrade demons looking ...

USB devices are appearing thick and fast after several years of slow build-up. Most of these devices are peripherals such as scanners, mice, speakers and so on, but LaCie has introduced something a bit different; an ...

Upgrading PCs isn't quite as popular as it used to be, mainly because prices have dropped so much that in many cases it's easier and cheaper to buy a new PC and sell the old one. ...

With DVD-RAM now one of the most over-hyped and delayed technologies in the history of the PC, users impatient for low-cost, high-capacity removable storage devices are looking elsewhere. If you're one of those users, you could ...

As not-particularly-old readers will doubtless remember, there was once a time when the maximum capacity of an IDE hard drive was restricted to 528MB, due to failings in the design of the PC BIOS caused by ...
