There are so many products that look alike, and capacity seems to be the only obvious differentiator. Yet differences can be found when it comes to interfaces, physical dimensions, control elements such as backup buttons and bundled software. Some solutions provide rudimentary backup support; others are capable of synchronizing data between the PC and the storage devices. And there are solutions to create images of partitions or entire hard drives. Take a look at the Western Digital Elements 500GB External Hard Drive. Here we have a hard disk that’s all set to take care of your portable storage needs.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/09/17/durable-and-efficient-western-digital-elements-500gb-hard-drive/feed/ 1 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/09/04/evga-geforce-9500-gt-video-card-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=evga-geforce-9500-gt-video-card-2 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/09/04/evga-geforce-9500-gt-video-card-2/#comments Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:00:29 +0000 Rose Raguindin http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=5153 If you want a video card for hardcore gamers and graphic artists, then the EVGA GeForce 9500 GT is for you.

That’s when you know it’s time to get yourself an external hard drive. The Beyond Micro External Hard Drive holds everything you need and much more. With 500GB, it will go above and beyond in storage capacity. You’ll most likely never have to buy another hard drive again, or if you do it’ll be a very long time from now.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/08/27/beyond-micro-500gb-external-hard-drive/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/28/seagate-freeagent-pro-external-hard-drive-1tb/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=seagate-freeagent-pro-external-hard-drive-1tb http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/28/seagate-freeagent-pro-external-hard-drive-1tb/#comments Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:00:42 +0000 TigerTeam http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4629 Few can question the fact that our storage needs are higher than ever, and really, there is no one else to blame but ourselves. Today, more than in any other point in the short history of computing, the computer is an integral part—if not the centerpiece—of our modern lives. We use it for almost everything; we produce many important documents, save a lot of multimedia files, communicate with others, all of which result in a large amount of files. Ultimately, that means we need more storage. So, in order to support our demanding computing habits, we need large repositories for our digital files. How larger can you get than with the Seagate FreeAgent Pro External Hard Drive 1TB? If you thought 500 gigabytes was big, think again; this hard drive lets you store a full terabyte of files.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/28/seagate-freeagent-pro-external-hard-drive-1tb/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/16/thermal-memory-cooler-with-heatpipes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=thermal-memory-cooler-with-heatpipes http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/16/thermal-memory-cooler-with-heatpipes/#comments Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:00:48 +0000 TigerTeam http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4376 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/16/thermal-memory-cooler-with-heatpipes/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/16/maxtor-onetouch-iii-750gb-external-hard-drive/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=maxtor-onetouch-iii-750gb-external-hard-drive http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/16/maxtor-onetouch-iii-750gb-external-hard-drive/#comments Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:45:00 +0000 TigerTeam http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4418 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/16/maxtor-onetouch-iii-750gb-external-hard-drive/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/14/xfx-nforce-680i-lt-sli-socket-775-barebone-kit-3/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=xfx-nforce-680i-lt-sli-socket-775-barebone-kit-3 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/14/xfx-nforce-680i-lt-sli-socket-775-barebone-kit-3/#comments Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:00:04 +0000 TigerTeam http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4382 If you’re the type who will only settle for the best hand-picked components when building a computer system, but feels that buying an already pre-configured computer system is just to limiting, then it seems that you should get a barebone kit which is intended for the power user. Once you have an XFX nForce 680i LT SLI Socket 775 Barebone Kit, all you would have to do is equip it with additional input/output devices to suit your needs. Since this half-assembled platform already comes with a power supply, motherboard, RAM, a cooling system, and a DVD burner, completing the system should no longer be a daunting task.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/14/xfx-nforce-680i-lt-sli-socket-775-barebone-kit-3/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/11/western-digital-my-book-essential-edition/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=western-digital-my-book-essential-edition http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/11/western-digital-my-book-essential-edition/#comments Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:30:10 +0000 TigerTeam http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4377 Do you find yourself constantly deleting data off your hard drive just to make space for files you think are more relevant? Without question, our demands for storage memory are higher than ever, and sometimes a single hard disk is not even enough anymore. But what if your motherboard doesn’t have enough SATA or IDE ports for extra hard disks? Don’t fret, as that is where the Western Digital My Book Essential Edition hard disk comes in.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/07/11/western-digital-my-book-essential-edition/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/07/seagate-first-hard-drive-manufacturer-to-ship-1-billion-hard-drives/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=seagate-first-hard-drive-manufacturer-to-ship-1-billion-hard-drives http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/07/seagate-first-hard-drive-manufacturer-to-ship-1-billion-hard-drives/#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 20:02:05 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4110 Seagate Technology announced it is the first hard drive manufacturer worldwide to have shipped 1 billion hard drives – a number not only staggering in size but also emblematic of the massive amount of digital content being created in the home, hand, office, car and dozens of other markets. Consider this: the 1 billion hard drives Seagate has delivered equates to approximately 79 million terabytes, able to store 158 billion hours of digital video or 1.2 trillion hours of your favorite music – and Seagate hard drives and storage solutions enable people to create, share, enjoy and protect more digital content every day. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/07/seagate-first-hard-drive-manufacturer-to-ship-1-billion-hard-drives/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/06/lacie-ethernet-disk-mini-home-edition-nas-storage-device/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lacie-ethernet-disk-mini-home-edition-nas-storage-device http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/06/lacie-ethernet-disk-mini-home-edition-nas-storage-device/#comments Tue, 06 May 2008 19:40:39 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4096 As popular as hard drive storage has become today, another kind of storage solution is slowly but surely emerging as a potentially superior alternative: home servers. These so-called Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, usually combine hardware and software, and vastly improve the concept of data accessibility. Whereas a portable hard drive can be compared to a briefcase that you need to carry around, a home server allows you to access your data across the Internet. Just imagine being able to watch one of your videos away from your main computer, without having to bring a portable hard drive. Convinced yet? If you are, then check out the LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Home Edition NAS Device: a full-featured home server that makes you feel you’re always close to your data.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/06/lacie-ethernet-disk-mini-home-edition-nas-storage-device/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/30/fantom-titanium-ii-500gb-usb-20-hard-drive/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fantom-titanium-ii-500gb-usb-20-hard-drive http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/30/fantom-titanium-ii-500gb-usb-20-hard-drive/#comments Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:14:58 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4027 Keeping up with the times has never been this challenging until now. Just a few years ago, we were amazed by 100 gigabyte hard drives. Going back even further, we were able to manage with a mere 4 or 8 gigabyte hard drive. How time flies; today, 200 or 300 gigabyte hard drives aren’t even enough for our demanding storage needs. To satisfy them, we need hard drives that are 500 gigabytes or larger. That being said, you should take a look at the Fantom Titanium-II 500 gigabyte USB 2.0 Hard Drive. With this impressive hard drive, you get to save a ton of data, as what modern computer users do nowadays.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/30/fantom-titanium-ii-500gb-usb-20-hard-drive/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/17/hard-drive-stacks-ready-to-go/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hard-drive-stacks-ready-to-go http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/17/hard-drive-stacks-ready-to-go/#comments Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:00:57 +0000 Tim McGuinness Ph.D. http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/17/hard-drive-stacks-ready-to-go/ The technology-solutions provider Ultra Products has been striving to provide a wide range of high quality products and services for some time now.

As the computing power of our PCs increased so has the amount and size of data that we need to store. Today, you need to have, at the very least, a 100-gigabyte hard disk just to be on the safe side. At the rapid pace storage requirements increase, it would be wise to get one that’s built for the future as well.With the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 500GB 3.5 Hard Drive, you’ll be getting exactly that—a high-capacity hard drive with a high level of portability.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/11/the-perfect-high-capacity-drive-for-the-mobile-power-user-seagate-freeagent-pro-500gb-35-hard-drive/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/using-your-email-accounts-as-file-storage/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=using-your-email-accounts-as-file-storage http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/using-your-email-accounts-as-file-storage/#comments Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:24:30 +0000 Tim McGuinness Ph.D. http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/using-your-email-accounts-as-file-storage/ As Email accounts have become one of the modern-day necessities, it comes with a increased risk of loss. People these days just cannot do without it. Not having one is synonymous to not having your own phone number. However, some have found other uses apart from keeping in touch with loved ones; touching base with business contacts; and sending information quicker that snail mail.

SSD will provide for the future of mobile devices, with it's shock resistance features, the biggest challenge now is getting SSD up to the capacity people expect to get with a notebook. The days of getting a notebook with a 4GB hard drive are over - today people are enjoying their complete media libraries on their laptops. I have one laptop primarily used with the television with two hard drives in it - and they are needed with media. Some SSD based notebooks have started to appear, but their lack of overall storage capacity may keep them from selling too quickly. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/04/multi-bit-storage-appears-in-announced-ssd/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/12/03/western-digital-320gb-passport-portable-external-storage-drive/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=western-digital-320gb-passport-portable-external-storage-drive http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/12/03/western-digital-320gb-passport-portable-external-storage-drive/#comments Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:45:51 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/12/03/western-digital-320gb-passport-portable-external-storage-drive/ http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/12/03/western-digital-320gb-passport-portable-external-storage-drive/feed/ 1 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/10/22/did-someone-say-storage-the-beyond-micro-solution/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=did-someone-say-storage-the-beyond-micro-solution http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/10/22/did-someone-say-storage-the-beyond-micro-solution/#comments Mon, 22 Oct 2007 21:04:59 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/10/22/did-someone-say-storage-the-beyond-micro-solution/ http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/10/22/did-someone-say-storage-the-beyond-micro-solution/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/08/16/lexar-expresscard-solid-state-drive-your-flash-drive-days-are-numbered/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lexar-expresscard-solid-state-drive-your-flash-drive-days-are-numbered http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/08/16/lexar-expresscard-solid-state-drive-your-flash-drive-days-are-numbered/#comments Thu, 16 Aug 2007 21:16:51 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/08/16/lexar-expresscard-solid-state-drive-your-flash-drive-days-are-numbered/ http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/08/16/lexar-expresscard-solid-state-drive-your-flash-drive-days-are-numbered/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/07/31/hybrid-video-comes-home-the-jvc-gz-mg130-hybrid-video-camcorder/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hybrid-video-comes-home-the-jvc-gz-mg130-hybrid-video-camcorder http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/07/31/hybrid-video-comes-home-the-jvc-gz-mg130-hybrid-video-camcorder/#comments Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:12:51 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/07/31/hybrid-video-comes-home-the-jvc-gz-mg130-hybrid-video-camcorder/ http://news.tigerdirect.com/2007/07/31/hybrid-video-comes-home-the-jvc-gz-mg130-hybrid-video-camcorder/feed/ 1
