How To Write To Windows NTFS Drives In Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”

November 29, 2010 By Stephen 8 Comments

One of the daily hassles of using Apple Macintosh computers is the incompatibilities that arise with the broad Microsoft Windows world. Individual files often require conversion, but what about whole disks? Apple has long supported the universal and simplistic FAT filesystem, and added read-only support for NTFS back in 2003 in OS X 10.3 "Panther". Third-party software like … [Read more...] about How To Write To Windows NTFS Drives In Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”

LaCie Releases USB 3.0 Driver For Mac OS X (But It Only Works With LaCie Drives)

November 5, 2010 By Stephen 18 Comments

Steve Jobs isn't too keen on USB 3.0, apparently, but other vendors are stepping in to fill the void. CalDigit was first with a USB 3.o driver, but it was tied to the pricey PCI Express and ExpressCards they sell. Now LaCie is out with a free driver for just about any USB 3.0 card, but it's locked to LaCie's storage products. Let's hope we get an unlocked driver soon! Now You … [Read more...] about LaCie Releases USB 3.0 Driver For Mac OS X (But It Only Works With LaCie Drives)

On the small form factor side, Western Digital was first with a 250 GB platter, then Seagate shot back with a 320 GB platter, then it was Hitachi at 375 GB. So it was only a matter of time until the magical half-terabyte mark would be reached, yielding 1 TB in a 2-platter drive. Now Seagate has … [Read more...] about Seagate Breaks the Areal Density Limit With 1 TB 2 Platter 2.5″ Drive

Seagate/PogoPlug Network Hard Drive Adapter Deals

August 20, 2010 By Stephen Leave a Comment

I'm a sucker for storage and networking (duh) so combining these two great tastes really gets me interested. I've been watching the CloudEngines Pogoplug with interest. It allows you to share a USB external hard disk drive across a LAN and even allows access over the Internet using the Pogoplug service. My friend Howard has one and says it's cool (though slow). Last year, … [Read more...] about Seagate/PogoPlug Network Hard Drive Adapter Deals

May 6, 2010 By Stephen Leave a Comment

The external hard disk drive market is incredibly hot right now, but it's also ultra-competitive. Stalwarts Seagate and Western Digital battle it out with everyone from disk makers like Toshiba and Hitachi to PC hardware companies like HP, Iomega, LaCie.
