The Rocstor Airhawk A9 offers three different connections to your MacBook
- by Mark L. Chambers Whitfield, MacBook for Dummies
...illustrates a popular external hard drive that offers FireWire 400, FireWire800, and USB2.0 connections: the Airhawk A9, from Rocstor (www.rocstor.com, about $170 online). I carry this drive with me in my laptop bag, because it's not much larger than an iPhone and doesn't even require a separate power supply - yet the A9 provides 500GB of quiet external storage, making it a great chose for a Time Machine backup that travels with you!

Serving Your Home Printers
- Posted by John R. Joyce, Ph.D.
For some time, Microsoft Windows has supported the concept of printer sharing. Simply put, a printer on one computer could be used by someone working on another computer, as long as they were on the same network and you'd enabled printer sharing. The gotcha to this concept is that, for someone to share their printer, the printer first had to be physically connected to their machine and, secondly, they needed to have their computer turned on and connected to the network...

Locking Your Memory, Revisited -- Secure external hard drives can help to minimize your risk
- Posted by John R. Joyce, Ph.D.
Some time ago, I took you on a tour of a few USB drives that allow you to secure the drive’s contents, whether by
locking the interface, encrypting the contents, or both. That analysis still holds, and you will find that some of those
devices, such as IronKey, have continued to evolve. However, by their nature, these drives usually had limited

The Ultimate In Mobile Storage Security
- Posted by Matthew McKenzie
Mobile storage is a double-edged sword. Most small businesses can't work without the ability to take sensitive customer data outside the office from time to time.

If you lose that data, however, you've got trouble. Big trouble. You'll have to answer to your customers, and you might also have to answer to the government.

Encryption is always your first, and usually best, line of defense against this kind of problem. A lot of companies can settle for "good enough" encryption, using free tools like TrueCrypt. But if you absolutely, positively have to protect business data against any conceivable attack, a company named Rocstor is worth a closer look.
