Review of Ridata EZDrive USB 2.0 Flash Drive Pro

Posted on November 1, 2005 by Jonas Review Editor

Introduction USB flash drives are a very popular USB peripheral with millions sold annually. Who can blame the masses who voted with their dollars for this as their floppy drive replacement? Their convenient size, ease of use, and ability to load and unload data, all without loading drivers make them extremely useful. Computer users can

Plextor's USB/LAN external drive reviewed

Posted on August 12, 2005 by iksib

The guys at BIOS Magazine just put up a nice review of Plextor’s new USB/LAN external hard drive, the PX-EH25L. Aimed primarly at the small business network, BIOS likes the form factor, built-in connectivity and print server functionality but mentions that setup requires a bit of networking know-how. Other gripes include lack of built-in DHCP,

A Tale of Two USB 2.0 Flash Drives

Posted on June 20, 2005 by Jonas Review Editor

Introduction With today’s busy, digital lifestyle USB flash drives are a necessity. I find myself constantly shuttling information between home and work. At each location, my data is transferred from one computer to the next. To be sure, there are more elegant, sophisticated solutions: Bluetooth, Ethernet, and WiFi networks come readily to mind. But for

Roadmaster Lets you Tell Nearby Drivers how you Really Feel

Posted on February 28, 2007 by Jeremy Toeman

Anyone who’s ever been in a car with me driving knows I’m always having two conversations: one with my passenger(s), and the other with other drivers as they cut me off, pass too close, tailgate, or drive a “no sale blue” (a phrase that appears surprisingly absent on the Internet, only good reference here) Oldsmobuick.

Help your USB key find its way home

Posted on October 19, 2006 by Jeremy Toeman

Aside from the occasional digital camera, I rarely lose stuff. Granted, I have a pile or two of gadgets that have misplaced power adapters (why is it so out of line for companies to label AC transformers? it doesn’t really cost much more, and it’s such a nice touch), but for the most part, I

In-seat USB?

Posted on February 23, 2006 by Jeremy Toeman

I really like USB. I carry a USB drive with me at most times, it’s great for quick file transfers and I keep a lot of my “commonly copied files” on it for easy use. I know, I’m not as creative as those who figured out how to boot XP from USB, but that’s a

Ritek’s QuattroDrive: How many functions can we pack in one little box?

Posted on January 6, 2006 by Jonas Review Editor

Introduction

I have a confession to make: I don’t like multifunction devices. When shopping, I buy the best of the individual devices. For example, I own a separate printer and scanner, not a multifunction printer/scanner/copier. Therefore, it was with some trepidation that I approached Ritek’s latest creation, known as the QuattroDrive.

With an older television, I am limited in that I have one set of RCA inputs in the rear (those are the round yellow, red, and white connections). I have a stand-alone DVD player hooked up. It works well at playing my CD’s and DVD’s. My old DVD player does not display photos, but with only one set of RCA connections, I didn’t have the room for a dedicated TV flash card viewer. I thought the answer was a new TV, but I’ve been holding off with LCD prices tumbling, and the unknowns of the new HDTV signal.

Then along comes this little box, known as the QuattroDrive. It promises to interface not only with my computer, but also with my television. What can it do? These are the four functions:
– flash memory to CD burner
– digital media player
– multicard reader/writer
– external CDR/W writer
I first dismissed this device as only being for professional photographers who needed to back up their memory cards on the road to a more secure optical disc. The more I started looking into this device, the more I realized that it had a lot more to offer for many different users.

Weird USB list

Posted on December 15, 2005 by feeling entropy

Here at LIVEdigitally, we love most anything USB. Jump drives, thumb drives, flash drives, keychain drives, they all drive us crazy. I can’t say we’ve tested out a duck drive, a sake drive, or a Barbie doll drive. (I would like to test out a sake drive however, lately I’m a fan of the unfiltered
