In recent years we have witnessed an explosive growth in the use of tablets and smartphones, as well as streaming video and cloud-based services used for storage and sharing. Nonetheless, the PC is still the media backbone for home users, especially for creating, editing and managing their media. While Ultra HD starts to kick off, many users still prefer physical media such as Blu-ray and DVD. All the different devices, media sources and formats can make it hard for users to enjoy their media on the device of their choice.
“Photo, video and music content is at the heart of everybody’s day to day life,” says Jürgen Kurz, CEO at Nero. “We have listened carefully to what users want.

Innodisk, a designer and manufacturer of SSDs for industrial applications, is pleased to announce the development of a new patented technology, Power Secure. Power Secure is Innodisk's advanced hardware and firmware-based power failure protection system, which helps ensure SSD data integrity after sudden power outages. An informative Innodisk white paper, “Data Integrity In the Event of Abnormal Power Failure in SSDs”, explains the technology behind Power Secure.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are far more robust than traditional HDDs; they are faster, more durable, and have lower operating costs. However, all storage devices are vulnerable to potential data loss caused by a sudden shutdown due to external power failure. Now, Innodisk’s Power Secure offers a combined hardware and firmware power-down recovery system that significantly reduces the probability of data loss or corruption.
If a SSD read or write operation is interrupted due to an unexpected loss of power, there can be inconsistencies in the data; it may not load successfully, and an ECC (Error Correcting Code) failure can occur, leading to data loss. Power Secure's first line of defense against this issue is a low power detector on the SSD.

Pioneer Japan sent out a press release earlier this week, announcing what it claims to be the world's first portable, wireless Blu-ray Disc writer. The BDR-WFS05J is based on the company's portable, slot-loading Blu-ray Disc writer, the BDR-XS05J. When connected to a USB 3.0 port, this drive is capable of 6x BD-R, 6x BD-R DL, 6x BD-R LTH, 2x BD-RE and 2x BD-RE DL writing speeds and a maximum BD-ROM read speed of 6x. It also writes to triple- (100GB) and quad-layer (128GB) BD-R media at 4x and triple-layer (100GB) BD-RE media at 2x.
The included wireless dock can function as an 802.11a/b/g/n access point or be connected to via a router at speeds up to 300Mbps. Thanks to the dock's high-speed USB virtualization technology, users can play back movies or burn a disc from their Windows-based PC or tablet using the included CyberLink software. Mac support is also planned and will be added in the future through a free firmware update.

Hundreds and thousands of storage products are now selling everywhere and they can be varied. There are also so many different types of new generation USB 3.0 flash drives which have best performance. However, by only showing the performance can no longer satisfy the needs of consumers; not only do people favor access speed, they must also be able to display personal style and uniqueness. This is the kind of perfect product that the Team Group T132 is!
The T132 is one of the few flash drives that considered as a boutique which the design is specially merged with the craft aesthetic concept. The designers from Team Group started with the idea of using the lines from a bird’s nest with fine zinc alloy to create a refined look. The material they used for surface is processed with sandblasting; emitting a low-key and introverted silver glow, which further displays the calm tone of natural craftsmanship. It uses hollow interlaced lines that soften the hard metal design and comes along with slip-proof function. The T132 displays the refined and extraordinary sense of power and beauty. On the other hand, it also uses a one-piece cap-less design, totally eliminating the worry of losing the cover. The T132 make flash drives not just an ordinary storage product, but also a perfect artwork!
