Today were going to look at two mini USB drives, the Corsair Voyager Mini and the SuperTalent Pico. Both of these drives are smaller than most USB drives on the market but still facilitate the storage of large amounts of data with both drives available with 8GB of space.

Corsairs Voyager GT flash drives are one of the most respected high speed USB storage solutions, for years they have been considered by many enthusiasts as class leading. That said, as flash drive technology has been advancing other manufacturers have been able to catch up. Corsair recently cancelled most of their Voyager GT drives and a few days later began to offer only an updated, single 16GB version of the Voyager GT.

Introduction
USB flash drives are the most popular and the fastest advancing gadget in the technology market and the rate at which they are progressing is remarkable. Early USB flash drives were bulky and their capacity was often in the 32-64MB range. Today we have 4-8GB flash drives which are about the size of a cell phone SIM card and many companies are releasing 32GB flash drives already! Such is the progress that within a period of six months prices have dropped around 50%. Today we will take a look at no less than 19 different USB flash drives from 10 different companies.

Today we are going to have a look at another interesting product from Enermax. While most people who read the word “Enermax” would think that this is a review of yet another power supply unit, think again. Enermax have a wide range of products available from Phoenix cases to Aurora keyboards.
In this review we are going to take a look at their new external HDD cases line-up, the Jazz range. The Jazz enclosures are designed to offer optimal (yet fanless) cooling in mind, discreetly keeping your external disks cooler. Read on to find more about their looks, quality and performance.

Akasa have a very large product range but most of them focus around computer case cooling and modding accessories, such as fans, modding products and power supply units. Akasa designs and build external enclosures for all internal drive sizes, from 5.25” optical drives down to 2.5” notebook drives, each built for a different purpose. Today we have three enclosures for 3.5” drives on review, each designed for different types of users.

USB flash drives are a wonderful invention, they are extremely small and lightweight, reliable, fast and they require very little power. The icing on the cake is if you have a USB capable computer (and who doesn't in 2007?) you can use them for portable storage. It is not all positive however, flash drives have tiny plastic bodies, which tend to make them very weak and they are easily lost. Enter Corsair, who have taken a very different approach to his storage medium recently, they have designed a drive which is extremely durable to physical damage - in fact Corsair claim it is almost indestructible. In making this drive so they have made the drive somewhat larger, which in theory should mean it will also be harder to lose.

With the advent of Serial ATA storage, a new era was ushered in for the PC. The cumbersome grey ribbon cables we all grew up with were a thing of the past, as was the bottlenecked Parallel ATA bus. Not only did SATA improve performance and unclutter cases, it also gave mainstream PCs the ability to “hot-swap” hard drives without restarting the host operating system, a trick that had been out of reach for everyone except server operators running immensely expensive SCSI controllers and drives.

Today we will have a look at their new line of enclosures, the File Protector. The File Protector enclosures range from 3.5” IDE drive enclosures down to 1.8” Hitachi drive enclosures. But the big selling point about the File Protector is that special backup software is bundled with them, which in theory should result in no lost files should a main hard drive unexpectedly die.

USB Drives have become something of a must have in the tech community, almost everyone I work with has one and I’ve noticed more and more recently that “ordinary” people are picking them up too. Whilst your average USB drive will have acceptable performance and function as advertised it’s always nice to have the best of the best. Corsair are renowned for their quality ram and when we heard they were releasing a USB flash drive we were keen to get a look at it and find out just what they could do with this technology. So today for review we have Corsair’s Flash Voyager USB drive.

The Ultra MPD is a very compact unit, barely bigger than a 3.5inch hard drive width and thickness wise. The unit is slightly longer to incorporate the IDE and power circuitry, USB and Firewire sockets and the 40mm cooling fan.
