With more than 50, 000 automated tape libraries installed as well as a suite of innovative software solutions and Storage Area Networking (SAN) products, Advanced Digital Information Corporation is a leading global provider in the growing market to manage and protect information in computer networks. ADIC supplies its products wit an extensive range of media, accessories and supplies to make your work more comfortable. This Scalar 1000 Fiber Channel Integration Kit allows installation of ADIC Fiber Channel Routers (FCR 100 or FCR 200) into Scalar 1000. One kit is required per router.
Advantages: Affordable, cool design and handy strap. Disadvantages: Its protective top is easy to misplace or lose.
...The PNY Attache 128mb data storage key is a fine piece of kit, which is a must have for anyone still carrying around data on a floppy disk.
This data key slots easily into any USB connection point and then you can use it as you would a floppy drive - that is if you are running Windows 2000 upwards. I bought the PNY data storage key when I was still running the Windows 98 operating system and the system refused to accept the key, even with the drivers that PNY recommended you download from their very own website.
This said, I have never had a problem on any system running Windows 2000 or above. The key holds the equivalent of roughly 80 floppy disks, comes with a handy strap (that can be disconnected if you wish) to keep round your neck and is extremely light. My only gripe is that the protective cap is easy to misplace or lose...

Advantages: Lots of features, large memory, WiFi and Bluetooth Disadvantages: A little pricey, can only take SD cards without expansion pack
...If you can afford it, this is an awesome piece of equipment. The screen is clear and can adjust brightness, and can have plenty of programs in main memory.
It will connect to the internet either at home or in places offering public service thanks to the WiFi connectivity built in. The Bluetooth ability is good to of you have another piece of equipment with that.
I use my bluetooth headset and mobile phone with it - the headset to listen to audible books and the mobile can be dialed from a stored number in the contact list on the PDA.
The PDA comes with a card slot for a Secure Digital card, which boosts storage quite a bit. And for those who use Compact Flash cards, the PDA can have an expansion jacket fitted. It will take 2 different cards at the same time.
Entering details and retrieving them later is easy thanks to the large screen...

Advantages: Low cost, small size, low-power consumption. Very hackable for those of you who like to get more out of your toys. Disadvantages: Cabling can become a bit of a rats nest. Requires an external USB harddrive.
...I have owned an NSLU2 Storage Unit for about 1 year now. I used it out of the box as standard for about 2 months before deciding to hack it. Mainly due to its instability. I then modified my unit to run at double speed and not only serve as a network storage device but also to run a simple web server and MP3 streaming server.
NOTE: Hacking this device is not for the faint hearted! This kit runs Lynux and hacking it requires you to be confident working with Lynux. It is more than possible to turn this kit into a £50 door wedge if you play and mess up!
PROS:
* Low-cost, can be found for less than £50.
* Small size, almost too small.
* Low-power consumption, about 1.5 Watts so there is no worries with leaving it switched on.
* Easy to use, un-modified, straight out the box it's fairly simple to get working just be sure to follow...
