This post includes the best portable drives I’ve tested that use a solid-state drive as their storage—they are the best portable SSDs. These are fast external storage devices that generally connect to a host via a USB-C port (legacy USB-A supported via an adapter). Those mentioned here are all-purpose, convenient …
Generally, a Wi-Fi router connects multiple wired and wireless devices to form a local network and allows access to the Internet. That’s generally how a router works. However, there are also “router NAS options” in which a Wi-Fi router can also function as a mini server, simultaneously providing storage for …
This post includes the best SATA SSDs among those I’ve reviewed or used over almost two decades. Among other things, they can outdo any standard SATA hard drive of the same capacity in terms of performance. As SATA SSDs, these are now somewhat “dated” compared to much faster NVMe options. …
Ubiquiti today announced the availability of its UniFi Cloud Storage (UCS) for those needing to do off-site backups for data on their UniFi Drive NAS servers or UniFi Protect UNVR. The new service comes with a one-tier pricing of $5 per month per terabyte, with the option to scale up …

I’ve used all of these devices …
There’s been a huge wave of attacks on certain Synology NAS servers during this month of October. These attacks exploit known PHP-related vulnerabilities and target servers that run dated versions of Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM) or software packages (applications). PHP (short for Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely used open-source, server-side …
By now, you might have learned that TP-Link’s latest Wi-Fi 8 router, the Archer BN800, isn’t available in the US (leaving ASUS’s GT-BN98 Pro as the first router of the latest Wi-Fi standard you can buy in this market) because of the FCC’s foreign-made router ban. As it turns out, that might …
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro, first announced in August together with the non-Pro version, is the first Wi-Fi 8 router to be available in the US. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise, considering Wi-Fi 8 is still in draft and especially the FCC’s router ban instituted earlier …
