HP External MultiBay II Storage enclosure

Advantages: Quick way of expanding hard drive space or retrieving data from a damaged laptop.
Disadvantages: Can over heat if left on for serveral hours at a time.

...The Akasa Integral external storage enclosure, is a great device for individuals who wish to perhaps expand there laptop with more hard disc drive space, or perhaps for those who wish to retrieve the data from a damaged laptop, that still has a working hard drive. I found the device incredibly handy when my laptop crashed, and I had no way of accessing the data. All I did was remove the hard drive from the laptop and insert it into the storage enclosure device, and away I went, full access again to all my data, just by plugging it into another desktop or laptop. There?s no complicated software to install on the computer, just plug it In and you can access the data as if it was on a flash drive. There are no mains plugs involved, it use's a USB port from the desktop or laptop to power its self, and it also comes with a protective... Read review

Advantages: Storage problems solved easily
Disadvantages: None!

...JML VacPac Vacuum Seal Storage Bags Why I bought them... A large quantity of bedding, clothes and other odds and ends that needed to be transported over two hundred miles from home to my narrowboat in readiness for my next cruise was causing me a real problem.

What they do.... The idea is that you pack your items for storage in the plastic bag and then seal it with the aid of a little... Read review

Advantages: Saves so much space.
Disadvantages: If filled up too, too much, it is very heavy.

...These vacuum storage bags are very handy to use, very easy, very convenient. It really saves space specially when you're trying to tidy up old clothes and duvets at home. Just put all the materials inside and vacuum the air out. It lasts for a very long time, because i've been using mine on and off for 5 years now. it is safe to use as long as you know your weight limit of carrying things. Very good value for money, bought mine from JML and Argos, for £9.99 for 2 large bags. Sometimes they do have a bargain of that same price but with 1 medium bag free. It's good for sorting out winter clothes, spring clothes, summer clothes and duvets. One helpful tip wash the clothes and dry very well, then fold it. Put a perfumed sachet in the bag and it will smell good until you will be needing the clothes again.... Read review
