Sony RDR-HX510: Dual-layer cake

Crave But because DVD+R 'DL' discs have an 8.5GB capacity, you can finally record all your movies off the TV at DVD-quality, instead of going out and buying them. The economics of dual-layer recording don't quite add up (dual layer offers double the...

Crave Talk: Creative sells 25 million music players

Crave Its most recent player, the Zen, impressed us with its awesome sound quality, SDHC support, a 16GB capacity option and superb video playback. Creative's inclusion of SDHC support is certainly its answer to higher capacity demands, and with 16GB...

Hands-on with the Archos 405 and DVR dock

Crave Initially you may be disappointed about the 2GB internal memory capacity, especially since there are no other capacities available. Sadly, there's no built-in kickstand like there is on the 605, so despite the potential 34GB capacity, this isn't a...

Drobo: Automated data robot

Crave When you remove a disk, you're not actually removing any files -- just reducing overall capacity. Obviously, adding a disk adds more capacity to the existing 'single' volume. Data storage is usually as dull as ditchwater, but our ears pricked up...

Archos 204: 20GB of small metallic joy

Crave Some smaller MP3 players tend to appeal to the younger market, thanks to their low cost, their lower capacity (most kids won't use more than about 4GB) and their typically more vibrant colouring. We're pleased to see that this small yet reasonably...

Crave Talk: How flash will destroy optical and magnetic storage

Crave It's pretty much there to justify the existence of the generally unnecessary capacity of BD-ROMs. Apple recently offered a 64GB SSD inside its new MacBook Air laptop; Creative's Zen media player maxes out at 32GB -- a media player capacity...

Crave Talk: It's too soon for flash-based video iPods

Crave This would allow Apple to make iPods almost as thin and light as the nano, without compromising storage capacity. The development of NAND flash is advancing fast, but not quite enough to consider implementation in a video iPod yet -- chips have a...
