Ximeta NetDisk 80GB External Drive Review

Quote from the review at Modthebox.com:

“In order to gain access to the NetDisk 80GB External Drive, you first register the NetDisk on the network by entering in the NetDisk Name, NetDisk ID and NetDisk Write Key. Both the NetDisk ID and NetDisk Write Key are located on the bottom of the unit and are unique to each NetDisk product. Each workstation on the network will require the installation of the NetDisk Administrator software in order to have access to the NetDisk unit on the network. The administrator is the only one that can grant read and write access to the drive and users are restricted to only one person writing to the drive at one time. For administrators who want to add a level of redundancy; the NetDisk Administrator software offers both Mirroring and Aggregation features. Mirroring continuously creates and saves a copy of data in real time onto a second NetDisk when ever data is written to the first NetDisk. Aggregation allows multiple NetDisk units to be recognized as one large drive.”

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
