Drobo review
Data Robotics describes the Drobo as ‘the world’s first storage robot’, but it’s actually a hard drive enclosure with some nifty built-in technology that makes securely backing up your projects a doddle.

FreeAgent Pro review
Sleek is not a typical descriptor for a desktop hard drive. It is the first word, however, that comes to mind for Seagate’s new line of storage, FreeAgent Pro.

Intensity review
Most video capture cards try to offer as many different connection types as possible, but Blackmagic Design's tiny Intensity has two HDMI ports only.

The Velocity² external hard drive is new to the UK, but it’s based on the same Silicon Image shell that LaCie has rebadged as the Two Big eSATA & USB.

Seagate is one of the first manufacturers to introduce external SATA storage. This 500GB external hard drive is sleek, attractive and gives fast access to your media.
-
Aperture 1.5 review
With version 1.5, Apple has addressed most of the shortcomings that have kept many photographers away from Aperture. There’s still room for improvement, though.
-
Mac Pro 3GHz review
The base-level Mac Pro is aimed at graphic designers and other primarily 2D-focused creatives. This model sits at the other end of the scale.

Mac Pro review
The Mac Pro is more than a G5 with a new processor, it’s a powerful system that offers something not usually associated with Apple – value.

Extensis has been promising this release for a couple of years, and it’s finally arrived. It’s a merger of the company’s popular Suitcase X1 font manager, and the rival Font Reserve 3, which Extensis bought in 2003.

SilverSTOR XS review
Storage can be a problem for small creative studios. You want to have a central place on your network to keep your projects to make them easier to collaborate on – and to keep them safe – but you don’t have an IT bod to configure and run a proper server.

FinePix S9500 Zoom review
The nine-megapixel S9500 Zoom replaces the prosumer S20 Pro at the top of the FinePix range. There isn’t much difference between the two in terms of size – both cameras are bulky – but the new zoom lens makes the S9500 feel a much larger proposition.
-
Cybershot R1 review
The Cyber-shot-R1 is something of a departure for Sony. Historically, the company’s focus in terms of sensors has been centred on CCD technology, but this is its first camera to feature a large, low-noise, CMOS chip.
