Review: Iomega eGo Encrypt, secure and portable hard drive

30 Jan


A major risk with portable hard drives is that they are easy to steal. If you plan to store important data on your hard disk, it is important that you protect the data in different ways. Iomega eGo Encrypt is a portable drive that has built-in protection.

Iomega eGo Encrypt looks about like most portable hard drives in the company’s eGo series. They build on the hard disks of size 2.5 inches, which is positive in the way that they both will be relatively small and does not require any external power other than the USB connection. You do not need to lug along a power adapter. The chassis is solid steel and around the connector has a protective rubber. Iomega calls its solution Drop Guard, and the hard drive is designed to withstand the drop from 2.1 meters height.

The first time you plug in the device starts a program that asks you to fill in the disk’s own serial number and a password. You can also choose to complete the password questions, the usual about where you were born and what your mother’s name before she married. These questions are then used if you forget your password. The next time you connect the Iomega eGo Encrypt to a computer, to start a program that requests the password. When you enter the lock disk and you can use it like any other entity whatsoever. In addition to password protection, all data is also stored encrypted using AES encryption to 128 bits.

Through the program, Flash Memory Toolkit, I tested how fast it was to write and read to the device. The complete numbers you see in the table of images below. The speed was around 20 MB per second, which may be regarded as clearly acceptable. The data is said to also be encrypted and it takes a bit of power.

Iomega’s drives have always been a bit more than most others in terms of price. 1900 SEK is the asking price for the Iomega eGo Encrypt, but I think this is not too much.The unit holds 320 GB and the security offered is clearly worth the money, if you want to make sure that no one can access your files.

Facts about Iomega eGo Encrypt:

  • Contact: Iomega
  • Size: 9 x 14 x 2.5 cm
  • Weight: 268 grams
  • Capacity: 320 GB
  • Encryption: AES 128 bit hardware encryption
  • Interface: USB 2.0
  • Target price: 1900 SEK

Sony Laptop Brings You Fantastic Entertainment

26 Jan

Sony Laptop Brings You Fantastic Entertainment

Do you have entertainment for yourself? Do you want to enjoy yourself with Computer whenever you like? Just one second, consider the Sony Laptop! You will make the entertainment your play-ground.

With laptops now enjoying easy popularity over desktops, it only makes sense that we’re starting to see some entertainment-oriented models that don’t just suffice, but are impressive in their own right. Our labs came across one several months ago, the multitouch version of the direct,Sony pcga-bp71a Laptop,an Editors’ Choice. Now we’re seeing one that’s available exclusively from Best Buy, the Sony VAIO VPC-F136FM/B laptop that gives it a real run for its money, with an attractive $1,299.99 (list) price, lots of features, and solid performance. For playing your music and videos anywhere, it’s a good way to go.

Design

Perhaps the biggest flaw with the VAIO VPC-F136FM/B is its plain design. Its cover is basic matte black, bearing a metallic VAIO logo, and the inside is all gray, all the time, except for the black chiclet keys comprising both the main keyboard and the 10-key numpad that is also included. There are also five grey media-control buttons above the top row of the keyboard. Of course, media center laptops intend for you to focus on what’s on the screen rather than what the body looks like, and the Sony pcga-bpl2 Laptop doesn’t fail on that score. The 16.4-inch display is bright, and its 1,600 by 900 resolution is more than sufficient for viewing high-resolution photos or watching movies in up to 720p HD. The system as a whole is on the modest side, measuring 1.6 by 15.3 by 10.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.5 pounds, so the display and what you can do with it will really stand out.

Features

Once upon a time, entertainment laptops weren’t noteworthy in the hardware department; they gave you the basics you needed for typical media chores and not much more. The Sony vgp-bps2 Laptop really shows how that thinking has changed in recent years, offering a well-decked-out system by any accounting. The 1.73-GHz Intel Core i7-740QM processor is a powerful one, and has the potential to become even more so (to the tune of 2.93 GHz) if you activate Intel’s Turbo Boost feature. There’s plenty of memory, too: 6GB of DDR3 RAM (expandable to 8GB), which you’ll be able to take full advantage of thanks to the 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. The 640GB hard drive (5,400 rpm) is a roomy one, and it’s nicely paired with a DVD±RW–Blu-ray reader combo drive, so HD movies will be within your grasp. Afraid that a system like this may not come through on the graphics? Don’t be—the discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 425M video card has 1GB of dedicated memory, and will leave you plenty of performance headroom.

In addition, Sony vgp-bps3 Laptop has a reasonable price. It won’t cost you much, but it will bring you all the entertainment you can imagine. Its large memory will be your store of wonderful movies, you needn’t to worry about the inner space, you can keep whatever you want in your Laptop. Anyway, it’s benefitial on all grounds to buy a Sony Laptop.

This article is from Sony vgp-bps4 Laptop.
