The research team at Trend Micro discovered a new variant of Bladabindi, which is a remote access tool.

Determining the superiority of SSD versus HDD requires you to define exactly what better means in your particular case. While for some “better” means faster or more reliable, others prefer to compare dollars and cents rather than improved performance or storage capacity increase.   In an ideal world, you could have them both installed on […]

If you’d like to view detailed info about the hard drives, solid-state drives, or external storage devices connected to your computer, these 5 methods below will help you figure out how to tell which hard drive is which, and familiarize yourself with all its basic characteristics.   System Information Tool In Windows 10 The built-in […]

Hard drive damage due to fire may not be the most common cause of data loss, but is definitely one of the most difficult to recover from. While the physical or mechanical damage to an HDD alone can be devastating in many ways, the hard drive chamber, hard drive assembly (HDA), also often gets heavily […]

So, there are three main types of hard drives when it comes to storage solutions: conventional spinning hard disk drives, nimble solid-state drives, and something called Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, or SATA for short. And since our blog is replete with content disclosing the features and differences between solid-state devices and good ol’ HDDs, this […]

What is an SSHD? Solid-state hybrid drive, or SSHD for short, is a conventional spinning hard drive enhanced with a small amount of quick solid-state cache memory and additional firmware to control the caching processor, all in one closure. Simply put, by combining the capacity of a hard drive with the reduced boot and access […]

In our blog we regularly publish articles about RAID systems and their levels, how to choose the most appropriate system for specific purposes, how to rebuild a failed RAID without losing data, and much more. Now, in this article we would like to explain the concept of redundancy itself. If you are new to RAID systems and their very purpose, […]

Now, the average user doesn’t know or care about the specifications of particular models and often has no idea of the technology used in a drive — as long as it’s simple to set up, easy to operate, and promises reliability. For understandable reasons, storage size, read/write speeds, and cost seem to have the highest […]

Unlike fragile portable storage devices such as external hard drives — for which even a slight jolt may be enough to join the whisperers — SD cards are normally manufactured to be resistant to physical damage, meaning that your memory card has a better chance of surviving extreme conditions like dust, water, shocks, and even […]
