We have done a fair share of internal and external enclosure reviews. So you might say we have an extensive experience in field. It is definitely tough to find the right enclosure for the job now a days, specially when there are thousands of different kind of enclosures on the market. Most of them do not come with a hard drive and well that's a pity, however some that do are very valuable. Today we are going to review a hybrid type of the hard drive enclosure, I-NA205Ue by Ineo Technologies. I-NA205Ue is a 2.5" hard drive enclosure which allows to users to use it as a carry on device and also being able to use it in a stationary computer without any cables. Lets take a closer look at I-NA205Ue and see what its made of.

Everyone is trying to save some money now a day and by everyone i mean regular joe and companies. It doesn't matter if you own large or midrange or even small company, you must be concerned with the marketed being highly unstable and of course your assets and cash flow. Purchasing IT equipment is becoming more and more a science thing than anything else. Most small or medium size companies struggle to come up with some kind of budget whether it is renewal or upgrade of the equipment. I am IT Systems Engineer for a medium size company and i know first hand that it is not an easy to per sway my boss to purchase a 40k NAS for data storage. Most people in my positions either spend quite bit of money on equipment or use "bandaids and rubber bands" to prolong some of the IT assets.

Technology sure does changes quick. Just a few years ago we have gotten a USB connection. Can anyone remember what we used before USB connection? That's right , serial. With invention of USB we have gotten so many applications and accessories that when looking back on the technology it puzzles us how we got our work done. With time USB 1.0 changed in to USB 2.0 and nearly quadrupled the speed of the connection. And now it is time for USB 3.0 version. USB 3.0 offers much faster transfer speed than USB 2.0. As manufacturers change and re invent their technologies, we as a consumers only benefit from the technological advances. Today we are going to take a look at Seagate's external storage unit, BlackArmor PS 110. BlackArmor PS 110 is a USB 3.0 based enclosure which comes with 500 gig hard drive.

Technology is growing at an amazing rate. Every couple of years we experience some kind of major changes in the industry. Just about two years ago we reached new and higher speeds of transferring data from one in interface to another. With SATA/SAS 3 Gb/s many companies converted their SCSI interface environments in to SATA/SAS and saved alot of money on power and got increase in storage. Lets face it a SCSI hard drive would cost roughly 200$ for 140 GB. With the same 200$ we could purchase a 1 TB hard drive and save some money in the long run.

Looking for a good enclosure for your 3.5" hard drive? Yeah we all been there. Now a days there are an unlimited number of enclosures on the market which makes it really hard to compete amongst.

I-NA306Ue is a screw less design enclosure which has a very stylish look to it. Let us see if it has all functionality and ease of use.

Today we are going to take a look at unreleased CPU Cooler Tranquillo by GELID Solutions. Now a days all newer CPUs come with an "OK" coolers. However for some of us those coolers might not be enough to get the job done. By us I mean Computer Enthusiasts and geeks. If you want to get the most performance out of your machine, you need to consider better cooling that stock coolers. It is a pain to get the right cooler with the right thermal compound. GELID Solutions is a relatively new player in the CPU cooler market. Their first cooler didn't end up being a popular item for overclockers. This is their second attempt at CPU coolers for the PC Enthusiasts out there. Let us take a closer look at Tranquillo and see how it compares to the stock i7 860 cooler.

There is a gamer in every one of us. The PC freaks! Just kidding but no not really. I ve been dealing with computers all my life and i ve came across thousands pc enthusiasts like myself and every one of them was a gamer at one point of their lives. C' mon its hard to say no to some of the best games in the world. Ever since IBM brought us a keyboard and a mouse, things have been changing ever since. Now a days mouse is a more than a point and click tool, in the first person shooters its a weapon. So whether you live or die depends on the equipment you use.

Love computer gaming and lan parties? If you do then you are one of us. Back in the day when the lan parties were the hit point of all of the gaming, we always tried to come up with some crazy ideas for the pc cases. One of the key features of any lan party is the cool case contest. I ve seen hundreds of cases and let me tell you, all of them have something in common. Once in a great while we would come across a case that would open eyes and mouths. Today we are going to take a look at a new model of cases from Cooler Master, Sniper Black Edition. Sniper is a pc case which was inspired by some of the weapons in the warfare. As we go deeper in to our review, we will show you some of the signature features of Sniper.

I love convenient accessories for my every day computer needs. Where it could be a simple usb fan or a hard drive enclosure they all play a big role in my every day activity. Being a computer freak like myself, one has to understand that the access to their files is very important and could be a hassle at times. Very recently we had a chance of taking a look at Thermaltake BlacX. We had a great time reviewing that product and immediately fell in love with it. BlacX is a screw less hard drive enclosure for getting to your files as fast as turning on the unit. Today we are going to take a look at the newest family member of BlacX, BlacX Duet. BlacX Duet is a double version of BlacX which is designed to provide acceptional accessibility to your files. Let us take a closer look at BlacX Duet and see what it has to offer.

Got an old notebook that overheats or get really hot? Then you might need to figure out a way to cool it. You might experience the freezes and even shut downs due to the improper cooling. But my notebook was fine when i bought it, why is it overheating now? There could be a number of things that would cause your notebook to overheat, most common of them is the wear of the thermal grease on your cpu and gpu chips. Over time the bond between the chips and the heat sink get worn out and so the fans work faster and harder to keep temperatures down. To keep temperatures lower you might want to consider reapplying the thermal paste or try to find other alternatives.

It gives me a great pleasure to present to you Seagate! Seagate has very recently became UMLan Inc's partner and we are honored of having them under our wings. Today we are going to be taking a look at the newest family of enterprise level hard drives, Constellation series.

Today we are going to be looking at SATA Constellation hard drives and see what they have to offer in the enterprise/bushiness class.

Ever had a laptop dying on you because of the overheated components? I have and let me tell you its not a fun thing, dealing with RMA and if you don't have warranty then you are in a pickle. Most of the components in your laptop have an x amount of hours before they break. The only way to prolong the life of those components is by proper and additional cooling. By additional cooling i mean a notebook cooler. Today we are going to be taking a look at a notebook cooler by Thermaltake, Massive 23ST. Massive 23ST is a large notebook cooler that is designed to provide additional cooling and wrist support.

Finding the right case could be tough at times. Being a computer enthusiast i know what's it is all about finding the right case. Everywhere you go you see different types of cases. They usually range anywhere from 60$ to 700$. Depending on your budget, it is possible to find a great case. So what should we look for in the case when picking one? Today we are going to look at the newest case from NZXT, Beta Evo. Beta Evo is a mid tower steel case which has a lot to offer. As we review this case we will go over some of the major points in picking the right case for the job. Lets take a look at NZXT Beta Evo and what it has to offer.

It gives me a great pleasure to introduce to you Cooler Master, Elite 310 case. The Elite 310 is a mid tower computer case which is capable of holding micro and standard ATX motherboards. This particular model comes with 420 Watt power supply, which is always a plus. Elite 310 is a simple case for an every day users which requires the looks and performance from the case. Lets take a closer look as we digest Elite 310 to see what it has "under the hood".

Now a days there are nearly 400 thousand types of fans from different manufacturers in the world. Picking the right one for the job is tough and requires you to do some research prior to purchasing. We at UMLan hate to compare fans from one manufacture to the other, instead we love showing you what the fan is all about. It is up to you to decide what would work for you in your unique situation. Today we are going to be taking a look at Coolink SWiF2 series fans and see what they have in stock for an average consumer.

Today we are going to take a look at a new subdivision of Thermaltake, Luxa2. Luxa2 was kind enough to provide us with H1-Touch stand for a review. Luxa2 is oriented towards luxury accessories. They have many items in store that look highly stylish and luxurious and H1-Touch is one of them. H1-Touch was created to act as a stand for smart phones such as iphone or even ipod touch.

First of all i would like to thank Thermaltake for providing us with this item for a review. Thermaltake is a leader if innovative design of cases, power supplies and pc accessories. We hope to bring you more reviews from Thermaltake in the near future so hand tight. Today we are going to be taking a look at geeky accessory for you pc, BlacX. BlacX is designed to ease the use of the hard drives you might have around the house. If you are like me, then you would have 300 hard drives lying around for no particular reason. Finding the right data on them would cost me so much time that i don't even want to think about it. By using a product like BlacX it would make my life easier since i don't have to open my case and mount the hard drive and so on. Lets take a closer look at BlacX and see how it can benefit an average geek:)

I would like to say a big "Thank you" to SunbeamTech for providing us with a Airbox 3.5" for today's review. Airbox 3.5" is an external hard drive enclosure which provides its users with portability of the file storage. For some it is very important to have an enclosure which they can transport to and from a particular location. If you are a graphics designer or a music/sound engineer then you know what i am talking about. Let us take a closer look at the Airbox 3.5" and see what it has in store for us.

Today we are going to take a look at two series of fans from Arctic Cooling F Pro TC and PWM (temperature controlled, pulse width modulation). These two types of fans come in three different flavors if you will, 80mm, 92mm and 120mm. There are many applications where you can use TC or PWM fans. Picking the right one for the job could be some what difficult. Hopefully after reading this review it will be clear where and when to use these fans. As part of our review we are going to be concentrating on 120mm versions of these fans and see how similar and different they both are.

I went into the computer building process with high standards for Coolermaster. I can truthfully say that those standards were met, if not exceeded with their HAF 922 computer chassis. This mid-tower is the "child" of the monster sized full tower that is the HAF 932. And the name "High Air Flow" certiainly is not a lie. Every time I turn on this computer the air blowing on my leg would blow my skirt up; and that would be no lie if I wore a skirt.

It gives me a great pleasure to introduce the Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 Pro cooling unit for , Accelero L2 Pro is targeted for mid-range to low end graphics card since it is small in size and have no heatpipes for heat dissipation. Accelero L2 Pro is an active video card cooler which is designed to replace your stock heat sink on your video cards.

Let us take a closer look at CRU DataPort SecureDock and see what other useful things it has to offer.

First of all i would like to welcome Tuniq in to UMLan and thank them for providing us with TX-3 for a review. What is TX-3? TX-3 is the newest thermal compound product by Tuniq. More information on Tuniq could be found right here. When it comes to cooling we all want the best for our video cards, motherboards, ram and cpu. Keeping components cool is the best way to prolong the life of that component. There are a number of brands out there which produce thermal paste and well to tell you the truth, they are much better than the stock cooling thermal paste you get when purchasing a cpu. Today we are going to take a look at two thermal compounds Noctua NT-H1 and Tuniq TX-3 and see if we can improve temperatures of our Intel q6600 Quad Core cpu.

It is pretty tough to get the right cooler for the right machine now a days. Everywhere you look some one has bigger and better cpu coolers. This makes companies to compete against each other like crazy. One company comes out with PWM system for cooling the cpu and the whole case and the other company comes up with the biggest and badest cpu cooler on the market. Today we are going to take a look at a newest product from Noctua, NH-C12P. NH-C12P is an active cpu cooler with alot to offer for its users. We are going to compare it to one of the Arctic Cooling cpu coolers, Freezer 7 Pro. Freezer 7 pro is also an active cpu cooler with pwm system build in the fan. Let us take a look at these two great cpu coolers.

Today we are going to take a look at one of the newest products from Eagle Arion ET-AR504LR-BK. Arion is a 2.1 Soundstage speaker set with a sub woofer. This unit is designed to be used in a small to medium size rooms. Arion comes with midrange and tweeter drivers for your pleasure. With these drivers and Eagle managed to achieve sound as loud as 70 Watt of total peak power. Let us take a closer look a these speakers and a sub woofer.

First of all i would like to thank Eagle for providing us with today's review item. Today we are going to be taking a look at a new product from Eagle, Arion ET-AR302-BK. Arion ET-AR302-BK is a 2.0 Soundstage speakers which are designed to provide its users with exceptional tonal fidelity. Sometimes you just need a set of speakers that would do the job. A good example would be the use of small satellite speakers in work places or for personal gaming. Lets us take a closer look at the Arion ET-AR302-BK and see if these will perform simple tasks.

From time to time people come up to me and ask what can they do to make their computer quieter but not loosing some of the features in it. Most computer users out there seek for ways to improve cooling for their systems but also minimizing the sound of the fans. What does it take to make a quietest computer? Well you could go with water cooling, but there is a big risk of block crack and leakage. You can also go with an old fashion air cooling which is much cheaper and way more dependable. Today we are going to take a look at some of the most promising fans on the market which are provided by Noctua, NF-S12B FLX. NFS12B FLX claims to have best performance at low speeds and minimum sound noise. With this in mind, lets see if we can build an ultra-quiet case:)

I always have hard drives laying around my working area. Once in a while I need to find a specific file and then I end up plugging my hard drives in to an external enclosure to find that particular file. MB877SK-B from Icy Dock is a screw less 3.5" hard drive enclosure which supports SAS / SATA connection hard drive. EXACTLY what i need for my crazy needs. Having a screw less design it would be very beneficial and practical. Let's take a closer look at MB877SK-B and see what kind of features it has.

Today we are going to take a look a one of the new products by Icy Dock, MB876SK-B. MB876SK-B is a hard drive enclosure which supports 3.5" SATA I and SATA II hard drive. This particular unit is designed to fit any standard 5.25" device bay. If you have server or planning to build a multiple OS computer the MB876SK-B might be a solution for you. What makes this model great is that the hard drive tray is compatible with some other models by Icy Dock. Lets take a look at MB876SK-B in depth and see if this model stands a chance in the market or not.

We have reviewed alot of hard drive enclosures in the past from different manufacturers and i can truly say that we saw some good and bad once. It all comes down to the very few factors. Is it stylish look you after or is it the performance that you seek. It is rarely that you find product that satisfies both categories. Today we are going to take a look at one of the promising products by Eagle Tech, M-Series Consus. The M-series Consus is designed to provide accessional performance for a user along with elegant and stylish looks. This particular model is a 2.5" model with USB 2.0 and eSATA capabilities. Lets us take a look at M-Series Consus in detail.

Today we are going to to take a look at a notebook accessory from Rosewill, PCMCIA Express card. PCMCIA Express card is a PCI Express based USB 2.0 accessory. If your laptop has only two usb ports, it could be rather frustrating to plug your phone, camera, psp or whatever you may have in. Some people purchase external usb hubs to solve the issues, however the problem comes with attached wires and some hubs require additional power to operate. The PCMCIA Express card by Rosewill very well could be a solution for an additional. Lets take a closer look at the PCMCIA Express card and see what it can bring on to the table of notebook accessories.

I would like to thank Coolink for providing the following item for a review. Today we are going to take a look at new product from Coolink, Lapchilla. It always makes me smile when i hear some of the names of the products from Coolink. Just by the name Lapchilla you can figure out what kind of product it is. You got it, it is a notebook lap cooler. Ever since the invention of multi core cpus, notebooks started to get hotter and hotter. Cooling of the cpus and gpu's in notebooks becomes a problem and some times is solved by an active cooling mechanism which maybe a loud one. To help the cooling of the notebook and perhaps preventing skin burn, items such as Lapchilla were invented. In the past we have reviewed notebook cooler so lets take a look and see if Lapchilla has a chance.

Its tough to find a right power supply for a right pc. Sometimes you might think you are getting the best of the best but are you really sure about that? There are alot of power supplies manufacturers that produce power supply's with less efficiency than recommended for a general use. What it is basically comes down to is the PFC. What is PFC? "The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power [1] [2], and is a number between 0 and 1 (frequently expressed as a percentage, e.g. 0.5 pf = 50% pf). Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time." Wikipedia. So to summarize, the best and highest values you can have is 100% pf or 1. Today we are going to take a look at Fusion 550 RF power supply. There is something very promising about this power supply, 99% FPC. Arctic Cooling also promises to save you money with this unit. We are going to see if this is true or even close.

Today we are going to take a look at M-SERIES Consus(ET-CS2MU2-BK) hard drive enclosure. Ever had an old hard drive from an old laptop? Well why not put it to a good use? Back in a day when we had IDE hard drives we often wished for a way to mount and run them externally. Now that we have caught up with the technology we can finally use IDE in the external enclosure. The problem is that not many of us out there still use IDE hard drive but rather more SATA I and II drives due to the faster and greater performance improvements in SATA. With release of solid state drives IDE falls back on the last place of the race. So what to do with the old drives? Throw them in an enclosure and use them as an additional storage:) Lets take a look at M-SERIES Consus more closely.

First of all i would like to tank Eagle Tech for sponsoring our current giveaway event. They have been great to us and very warm hearted towards reviewer:) Today we are going to take a look a a mobile storage enclosure by Eagle, P-Series Mobile Consus. P-Series Mobile Consus is 2.5" hard drive enclosure is designed to fit every user needs. It comes with two different speed connectors, USB2.0 and eSATA. If you are buying this enclosure from Eagle, you have a choice of choosing 80 GB, 250 GB, 320 GB or 400 GB versions. This review is going to be performed with our own Seagate 250 GB hard drive.

Does speed matters to you? What a dumb question! It matters to everyone! We all trying to go as fast as we can to be more productive, to win a race or just to get the job done faster. Today we are going to take a look at one of the top of the line product by Eagle, W-Series Consus. W-Series Consus is an external hard drive enclosure which is equipped with USB2.0 and eSATA connectors for fast transfer rate. What makes this enclosure so special is the eSATA connection which supports speeds up to 3.0Gbps. W-Series Consus comes with 3 different size of hard drives, 500Gb, 750Gb and 1tb. Unfortunately we don't have an opportunity to review W-Series Consus with Eagle's hard drive, so we are going to use one of our 1tb drive for testing. Lets take a look at W-Series Consus and what it has to offer. I am very much curious what speed can we get out of this unit:)

Ever had to retrieve some information from the old drive or just looking for some external storage? Yeah i guess we all have been there. With prices dropping on hard drives every day, more and more people can afford to spend few bucks on a nice size drive for extra storage. Eagle is an enclosure company which produces a numerous amount of external enclosures. Today we are going to take a look at a new product from Eagle, the M-Series Consus. M-Series Consus is screw less external USB 2.0 enclosure, which is designed to take SATA hard drives up to 1 tb. Being a hot swappable unit, M-Series Consus makes a great first impression and opens alot of possibilities in hot swapping data. M-Series Consus comes in two flavors, USB2.0 and USB2.0/eSATA. We are going to take a look at the USB2.0 version of M-Series Consus.

Got a empty floppy drive slot in your case? Most of us do. Why do they still make them? Good question, one thing for sure now we have something to install in the floppy slot that could be useful. Vizo presents a new product Ares II. Ares II is a hard drive enclosure which is designed to hold two laptop drives for easy file access. In theory you are should be able to boot right from it. If you have some hard drives lying around and want to utilize the floppy drive in your case, this little gadget might be for you.

Today we are going to take at one of the new items by Vizo, Ares. Ares is a SATA II hard drive enclosure which is very useful if you work with multiple hard drives on daily basis. Being made out of the light weight aluminum Ares is being very useful and easy to use. There are numerous products which are very similar to Ares. It would be very tough to compare and contrast this particular hard drive enclosure but we are going to make absolutely clear if this product is for you or not.

First of all i would like to say a big thanks to Eagletech USA for providing us with this review item. They were kind enough to send us this unit for the review and once again we are all very thankful. Today we are going to take a look at a bare bone shell of Consus I-Series JBOD (ET-CSIU2J-BK). The actual unit comes in two flavors 2 750 gig drives or 2 1tb drives. We are going to be using 500 gig drives from our own collection for testing purposes of this unit. So what is JBOD? JBOD is just a bunch of drives. This solution allows you to combine any drives in to one and act as one drive. So in theory you can combine a 1 tb drive and 20 gig drive and get 1.020 gig drive. Makes sense? Of course it does! Lets take a look at Eagle Consus I-Series JBOD and see what it has to offer.

It gives me a great pleasure to introduce to you Alpha Plus Electronics. Alpha Plus Electronics CO., Ltd is a a privately owned company with expertise in engineering and manufacturing of Uninterruptible Switching Power Supplies.

We are lucky enough to review the USB 2.0 version:) Lets take a look at Ninja HS and see what makes it different.

Don't you wish that you could save a little bit of electricity with your pc but yet keep it nice and cool? Of course! Who wouldn't?! The problem with many cooling devices is that they cool at the same rate without any change in cooling. I am talking about fans which many of us use to cool their systems. Your regular fan can spin anywhere from 800 RPM all the way to 3600+ RPM constantly. This creates constant noise barrier and of course the raise of electric bill at the end of the month hahaha. This is why engineers came out with PWM technology for fans. What is PWM? PWM is Pulse Width Modulation. Fans with PWM adjust their speed depending on the cpu load. Most of the motherboards out there support PWM technology and taking advantage of PWM is highly recommended among computer enthusiasts.

There are literally 4 million different kind of fans out there. It makes hard for a computer enthusiast to pick the right fan for the right job. Whether it is for cooling hard drives or using the fans for the exhaust for the case, we all can agree that the fans should qualify with some standing out parameters. Do they have to look good? Maybe. Do they have to provide sufficient air flow? Maybe. These and many other factors play a big role in the computer industry, this is why some companies have hard time selling their products or even manufacturing. Gaining popularity is also a big issue with general companies which produce cooling equipment.

Heat can be a killer, especially when you’re in an office with no air conditioning and standard cooling fans in the middle of summer. I’m sure that’s what my PC was thinking before I tried out the new Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler.

Ergonomic keyboards have been around for some time, but featured an odd looking design in which the keyboard was split in half to force a certain hand position. While awkward and large, they provide a larger degree of comfort to users, especially those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis, at the expense of having to adjust to the odd setup. Logitech has recently launched a new design for the ergonomic keyboard that is much more compact that current Microsoft designs and arranges the keys in a wave like pattern to promote comfort and ease of adoption. The keyboard is roughly the same size as standard non-ergonomic keyboards and should fit onto any standard desk.

It doesn't matter if you are a advanced computer enthusiast or total noob, you want your case to look sweet so you can show it off to your friends.

With new technologies comes new needs. Every day comes out a kick ass motherboard or some crazy crossfire video card and they all have to be powered by something. When someone asks me what's the most important part of a pc, i say the motherboard. Depending on what motherboard you have and how stable it is, it could act on the performance. However this is not true. Most of the performance comes from a solid supply of power. Without a power supply there will be no pc.:) Today we are going to take a look at a new generation of the power supply. RX950-D-B is brought to us by Rosewill.

The computer accessories market use to be a place for hardcore computers users to see the latest new toys that will increase the performance of their systems, but now that computers have become more common place with average users, a new casual market has emerged. A perfect example of this is today’s review of the Cool It Systems Beverage chiller.

Most users rarely think about what type of power supply they are running. For them, as long as it works why bother to give it a second thought. However, now that power users and gamers build expensive computer systems with multiple hard drives, graphic cards, physics processors and other expensive equipment a reliable power supply is needed to provide a constant flow of power. The X-finity 500 is a power supply that will provide decent power for a low price. Plus it looks damn good while doing it.

I would like to welcome and introduce CoolIT Systems to UMLan. CoolIT Systems is a relatively new company that specializes in cooling systems for computer systems. Companies like Dell integrate CoolIT Systems technology into their computer systems for maximum cooling performance. Today we will be reviewing two products by CoolIT Systems: the PCI Cooling Booster and the Ram Fan. The PCI Cooling Booster creates extra airflow for the PCI devices and the Ram Fan creates additional airflow for the ram. These products have been designed to provide excellent additional cooling for components to increase performance reliability.

The power supply has come a long way since the early days of computers. Once only a second thought for most users who only used their PC for basic applications such as checking email or browsing the Internet, the power supply has stepped into the lime light. Now users build PCs with multiple graphic cards and massive amounts of storage with two, three or even four hard drives making the selection of which power supply to use as important as which graphic card a user might buy.

Ever wished to have removable drives in your case just because you have a lot of hard drives with data? Most of the problems or should I say difficulties in removable enclosures lie in the space utilization. The majority of removable enclosures take as much as 1 5.25" drive. Icy Dock presents MB453, a 2-in-3 removable hard drive enclosure. This enclosure utilizes 2 5.25" spaces and allows users to add up to 3 SATA hard drives. Besides the 2-in-3 feature Icy Dock MB453 has a very stylish front interface and 3 easy removable trays.

There are alot of passive coolers for video cards out there. The stock heat sinks just don't cut it anymore. Many overclockers replace stock heat sinks with something better that would control the temperature of the video cards in the passive and in the performance modes. I’ve come across a lot of manufacturers in the years I’ve been reviewing cooling systems and Arctic Cooling has proven itself in being ones out there.

I am glad to introduce to you our new reviewing partner Noctua. Little bit about the Noctua company. "Noctua aims at establishing a new level of quality and performance "Designed in Austria" through paying attention to the users' needs in a market burdened with all kinds of frills and furbelows and providing sound-optimised premium components, which serve their purpose in a smart, precise and reliable manner. What does Noctua mean? The little owl, Athene noctua, is the symbol of the Greek goddess Athene, who represents wisdom, science and strategy. She has a marked preference for the most clever among the Greek heroes, like Odysseus, who endure their adventures by the use of savvy consideration instead of mere force. Until today, the owl symbolises intelligence and prudence, its manlike face emblematises attentiveness and communication. We from Noctua follow the suit of its calm and accurate observation in the dark, its soundless flight as well as the effective, economical use of its powers and precise attack."

Do you have a home server that is running 24/7? I do. Hard drives today are running faster which means they're also running hotter so ensuring they don't overheat has become a big concern for many users. The Vizo Voyager could be our new best friend.
