For a long time I had resisted converting my DVD and Blu-Ray disks into any other format because I didn’t want to lose any quality. I had lived by this rule for a long time, and thankfully companies like QNAP and Thecus came to my storage rescue. However, the day has come where the cost of storing all the extra garbage that comes along with these movies has opened my eyes to benefits conversions.

When you are on the go, sometimes having the multimedia connectivity you want isn't always available to you. When I travel, I like to bring my laptop with me wherever I go and there is nothing better than sitting in a hotel room late at night with my laptop hooked up to their TV watching the movies I bring with me. There has also been plenty of times when I tried to sync three different videos running to three different TV's for a presentation booth. Unfortunately, my work laptop does not have an HDMI port built-in, and I hate traveling with more than one laptop. Luckily, StarTech has a solution that they think can give me the ability to travel light and connect my work laptop to any to type of monitor/TV.
The tools in my toolbox are just as important as the IT skills I have learned over the years. After all, what good is the knowledge to accomplish something without the means to do so? That is why my arsenal of tools in my office is as important to me and my customers as is paint and a canvas to a painter. When companies like StarTech start offering tools that can accomplish more than one task and do them all well, it not only saves me time, it reduces the amount of "crap" I have all over the place. StarTech has already impressed me with their S354UFER, let's see if they can keep me tuned in with their SATDOCK22RE.

WHS provides me with some peace of mind by implementing a feature like folder duplication, however implementing only that type of protection is not enough. There are many solutions by many different companies out there to tackle my server backup that claim to be easy and are not, seem to be inexpensive but have hidden costs, or just don't offer enough storage space. Well, where the other solutions fail, StarTech shines. Enter the S354UFER. Read More...
Every enthusiast faces the time when they have to do something to their computer and realizes they can't find the tool they need to do it. There have been plenty of times when I scratched a trace on my motherboard and couldn't find my soldering gun or needed a Torx screwdriver and lost the heads. It would be nice if I could get most of the tools I need to do what I need to do and keep them safe. Keeping them stored in a nice zippered vinyl case instead of throwing them in a drawer to fumble through or forgetting them somewhere. Oh! Wait! There is... Enter the StarTech Computer Service Tool Kit. Read More...
