Freecom Launches Extreme External Hard Drive

Freecom has announced the release of a rugged external drive, the “Tough Drive Sport”. The new external hard drive is a durable, shock-resistant, 2.5″ external hard drive designed to endure even the toughest conditions. This latest addition to the ToughDrive family is perfect for heavy duty users that want to carry their data on the move, from backpacking around the world to cycling up mountains.

The ToughDrive Sport features a handy loop in one corner enabling easy attachment to bags or belts - allowing people to carry their data hands-free. The drive can also withstand falls of up to two meters and is fully protected against adverse weather conditions associated with outdoor pursuits.

The ToughDrive Sport has an outdoor sports design and an integrated USB cable designed to look and feel like a climbing rope - this makes the drive extremely portable as no external power adapter is required for charging. Ideal for mobile use given its size and robustness, the internal anti-shock mechanism insulates the hard drive against unforeseen shocks that could cause damage and result in the loss of masses of data.

The ToughDrive Sport holds up to 500GB of information and the Turbo USB 2.0 connection offers transfer speeds of up to 30 percent faster than competing solutions for downloading or uploading data. The drive also features secure password protection whereby the user’s password is encrypted and stored on a 256bit hardware chip. This added security feature gives users peace of mind even where the most sensitive information is concerned as, if the drive is lost or stolen, no-one will be able to access the data it contains without the password. In these instances, the drive would be reformatted, automatically erasing all of its contents and ensuring information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

How to make your Network Connection Faster?

In windows Vista, when you copying file from one computer to another computer through network it will show you the speed per second depending on You Network Adapter, HUB, Switch, Cable… you are using. You might still wondering how fast of your network? Or How to make your network high performance.

You network connection slow or fast depend on the Component of your connection, so that is very important to know that Which component that cause your network slow…

1. Network Adapter
A network adapter is the device that physically connects your computer to the network. The network itself will be Ethernet (which comes in three speeds, 10Megabit, 100Mb, and 1000Mb). So if you you have a low speed Ethernet adapter, You network speed will be limited by that adapter. Buy anther one!

2.Ethernet Hub or Switch
Most Ethernet networks use a hub or switch, which serves as the central connection point and moves data around. Like the network adapters, they have three speed ratings, 10Mb, 100Mb, and 1000Mb. Your switch must support the same speed as your network adapters to use it on your network. You should use a hub or switch that supports your full range of network adapter speeds, so you don’t limit the higher-speed computers.

Switches perform more efficiently than hubs in high-traffic networks, so it’s a good idea to use a switch

3.Motherboard Speed
The motherboard’s processing speed has inherent limits that include (to a degree) network performance. A faster motherboard generally means faster everything, including network performance. Upgrading the motherboard is a good decision also.

4.Hard Disk Read-Write Speed
Disk performance (how much information you can read or write from the disk in a second) is often the primary factor to network performance. Since most network data represents a file, your hard disk has to read the source file and another disk must write it to complete the data transfer.

You can improve your disk performance by using a faster disk, which makes more information available, and a more efficient disk interface, which processes more information at once.
