My father-in-law still longs for the days of Pleasantville. Too bad for him that Pleasantville wasn’t even Pleasantville! Yes, the “good old days” were old, but they weren’t necessarily any better. And they sure didn’t offer the wide range of gadgets we have all come to rely upon! So if you are looking for a [...]

Seagate GoFlex Satellite Gives You 500GB of Storage on the Go!
Now this is pretty neat. Not long ago Seagate rolled out the slimmest portable hard drive on the market, the GoFlex Slim. We reviewed it here and I’ve been using it daily since! Now they are offering a 564GB iPad 2! Okay, that’s not quite accurate but they DO make it possible for you to [...]
Verbatim Offers Digital Data Storage and Backup Solutions This Tax Season
Death and Taxes – oh how we hear that phrase overused, and for my purposes here I plead guilty. Fortunately I am here to talk about the latter and not the former. Our friends over at Verbatim, maker of digital data storage and backup products, want loyal US taxpayers (or at least tax filers) to [...]
Review: Seagate GoFlex Slim Performance Drive
Judie’s and my first meeting at CES 2011 was with Seagate. (We posted about it here.) Toward the end of the visit we came upon a hard drive that was as stylish as it was function. At the time all we were allowed to write about it was this: Concept drive – We also saw [...]
ioSafe Solo: An Awesome Savings on Peace of Mind
ioSafe, makers of the Solo ruggedized hard drives that can take on heaped abuses that defy all reason, have a reasonably priced deal on their 2TB model that will make peace of mind affordable for everyone — even you. Why should you invest $199.99 in a bulky external hard drive? Think about all of the [...]
CES: SanDisk Meeting
By now you have likely seen that at CES, SanDisk announced their amazing new 128GB Compact Flash Card, a size that still boggles my mind. Available later this quarter for a MSRP of $1499.99, this card isn’t for the feint-hearted. But when you consider that it wasn’t too long ago that a 5GB PCMCIA card [...]
Gear Diary Would Like to Thank …
CES 2011 has wrapped up for all of us, not that we won’t still be writing articles on things we saw for some time, but the show itself is over. January 3rd through 9th was a great week spent with friends — some old and some new — tons of gadgets, massive crowds, and — [...]
IoSafe Has Got My Back; Do They Have Yours?
Freshly arrived back from CES, I found waiting for me an IoSafe 1TB fireproof, waterproof, and — as has been demonstrated multiple times by this site (and many others) — a virtually indestructible SoloPRO Desktop External Hard Drive. I’m looking forward to setting up this beast and putting it to work protecting my data. Knowing [...]
SuperTalent Introduces 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive at $59
When it comes to storage, I have to admit that each new revision continues to amaze me. One of the things I love is the fact that I am juuuuuuust old enough to have been around for basically the entire change from ginormous computers that took up whole buildings to things like the iPhone, iPad, [...]
ioSafe Announces Rugged Portable Plus Data Recovery Service
CES 2010 brought great news from ioSafe complete with a convincing demo in the desert for our editors. Check out what Judie, Dan, Kevin and Larry got to witness last year right here. The company has come to be known for making virtually indestructible hard drive solutions. In fact, my biggest fear is losing all [...]
CES Meeting with Seagate; Plus Some Exciting Product News
Dan and I met with Gabe Foo and Charmaine Garcia from Seagate, where we got a look at some of their new 2011 hard drives. Streaming content, networked backups, and smaller hard drives with faster speeds were some of the highlights. A new partnership with Gear Diary favorite ioSafe was a pleasant surprise. And we [...]
Review: Silicon Power Armor A80 Waterproof & Shockproof Hard Drive
If you’re anything like me keeping your data safe and secure is of the utmost importance. I’m talking about keeping it safe from hackers though. Sure that’s important but what I’m talking about it keeping it safe from life. With three kids at home I’ve got thousands and thousands of memories, in the form of [...]
Win a Mystery Item That You KNOW You’ll Want from ioSafe
This is obnoxious! I am absolutely awful at those “guess what this is” type games where they show you the tiniest portion of a product and expect you to figure out what it is … and this one happens to come with a prize that I am sure I would love to win! ioSafe, makers [...]
Holiday Savings On ioSafe Hard Drive
We at Gear Diary are big fans of the ioSafe Fireproof and Waterproof external drive. We’ve witnessed its power in the form of being able to withstand being burned up inside a car and later run over by a giant earth mover. If you haven’t yet picked up an ioSafe drive of your own here [...]
Mimoco Brings Out Their New Hello Kitty Thumb Drives
Hello Kitty has to be on almost everything. I am quite sure that this isn’t the first Hello Kitty thumb drive, but it’s not every year that Hello Kitty celebrates 50 years of cuteness. My favorite is the penguin, Badtz Maru. While he doesn’t look like Tux, he’s still cute! Ranging in sizes from 2 GB [...]
