Trekstor Unveils 1 TB External Hard Drive

Storage and audio gear maker Trekstor understands that digital media fans need lots of space to store their music, movies, and pictures—and backups—but that moving that kind of data place to place via broadband or even a home network isn’t always the most practical thing. To that end, the company has introduced its DataStation duo w.u external hard drive, offering 1 TB of storage and USB 2.0 connectivity.

The DataStation duo w.u sports a black aluminum and plastic casing, USB 2.0 connectivity, and an external 100V/240V power supply, which adds some additional bulk to the 4.8 pound unit, but helps keep the unit noiseless (and fan-free). The outside of the case sports a push-for-backup button, and the drives ship with Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials so owners won’t have any excuse for not backing up their crucial data and media. (Right?) The DataStation duo w.u achieves its 1 TB capacity by stacking two 500 GB drives and managing them as a single volume; the 7,200 rpm, 3.5-inch drives support 24.5 MB/s reads and 16 MB/s writes.

Trekstor says the drives are available now, and carry a list price of $430.

This docking station solves the M1 Mac’s biggest weakness

ugreen docking station could solve m1 macs major weakness

Accessory brand Ugreen has just released a 12-in-1 MacBook docking station that can extend or mirror as many as three external displays at 4K 60Hz.

M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are fantastic laptops but came with two flaws. One is limited I/O (you get only two ports on either model), and the other is the native ability to drive only one external monitor.

How to partition a hard drive

Partitioning your hard drive is a great way to organize your files, folders, and applications into multiple virtual drives. Although there are advantages to having multiple physical drives, the rise in multi-terabyte hard drives has changed the game. Partitioning a single drive is a viable method to give your system that multi-drive functionality, with plenty of space on each, without shelling out for a second drive.
