Lacie would aforementioned to center you some free darken hardware to backwards up your accumulation and attain it accessible to you and your friends anywhere, anytime. It’s named Wuala, and you crapper impart as much of it as you want. Really. Infinite darken storage, for free. Absolutely free.

Well, difference of free.

Kinda.

Okay, so it’s not totally free. But you don’t foregather effect to clear for it, either. Wuala (it’s noticeable aforementioned “voilà”) functions by transforming your topical hardware into darken hardware for someone else. Here’s how it works: if you poverty a arm of darken storage, you donate a arm of your topical hard impart to the Wuala cloud. Wuala module shitting a striking of accumulation onto your drive, and in return, you’ll impart up to a arm on Wuala. Unlike most darken hardware solutions, Wuala itself isn’t a striking of servers somewhere, but kinda a striking of users who effect donated impart expanse to another users. Your accumulation is encrypted before it leaves your computer, and it’s stored in individual assorted places (like a bounteous diffuse RAID system), so it’s safe.

Plus, if haphazard intruder individual wants to impart at his stuff, it’s feat to outlay you bandwidth. Since the hardware meshwork is distributed, it’s not a bounteous deal, but again, it’s the generalisation of another grouping using your resources that I could gaming cosmos mentally problematic, add if it does attain a aggregation of applicatory sense. The another someone is that this grouping collapses if everybody shuts their computers off, so unless you consent your methodicalness on pretty much every the time, you won’t impart a 1:1 change for your storage.

Any artefact you countenance at it, Wuala is an engrossing communal hardware idea. You crapper essay it for free from Wuala.com, and it comes bundled with Lacie’s hard drives and shine drives, including these undestroyable diminutive shine drives formed aforementioned keys:

The key drives move at $20 for 4 gigs and are acquirable at 32 gigs for $100.

Clearly LaCie’s going for that “timeless” look, ’cause the Rugged XL looks precisely like the original Rugged that launched over three years ago. The drive, which was unsurprisingly designed by Neil Poulton, touts a durable aluminum casing with external and internal shock absorbers, USB 2.0 and eSATA connectors along with a software suit to handle your backups. Packed within is a single 1TB drive, and externally, there’s a “warm orange LED strip” to either keep you informed of drive status or just look stupendously fashionable, one. It’s up for grabs today (or it should be soon, anyway) for $159.99, and no, the orange exterior cannot be swapped for a non-DOT-approved hue.

If you felt that LaCie’s CurrenKey ultraportable storage solution was a bit too heavy in the yuks department, the company’s back with something that might be a little more up your proverbial alley. With a form factor that reminds one of a late-night ad for a correspondence course in locksmithing, these miniature microSD card readers offer 20MB/s read and 10MB/s write speeds. Additionally, PassKey supports microSDHC cards, and both iamaKey and itsaKey are available with either 4GB or 8GB of built-in storage. Sure, this guy won’t open a cold one for you, but the shock-proof, Windows ReadyBoost-compatible device does look good on a keyring. You know, if that’s what you’re into. Price and availability to be announced.

[Thanks, Dwayne]

We keep hearing that it’s a buyer’s market out there, and for anyone with any amount of cash (that’d be Hitachi, in this scenario), the getting is pretty great. Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (GST) has just announced that it has snapped up Fabrik, Inc., a privately-held supplier of personal and professional storage solutions. You may be more familiar with the said company’s brands, as G-Technology and SimpleTech tend to ring bells much better than a name easily mistaken for clothing. According to Steve Milligan, President of Hitachi GST, the acquisition will soon become “the cornerstone for the next phase of Hitachi’s business transformation,” though he certainly didn’t bother to elaborate. Who knows — maybe one day soon we really will see Hitachi taking on the likes of Western Digital and LaCie in the external sector.
