Storage options are always tricky. Casual users use storage much differently than prosumers who need the storage to act and interact in a certain way. For instance, you may just want some offsite storage for massive amounts of photos, videos, music, and other digital media—most of us do. But there are users who need their storage to contain zero lag, like when transferring RAW Adobe Lightroom libraries or 4K footage for post-production editing. A simple 5400 rpm hard drive and a USB 2.0 connection are never going to be able to serve their

Apple computers are not made to be modified easily, and even though it is possible, don’t you wish there were a way you could add more to your Apple computer without opening it up?

Ten years ago, getting a steady Wi-Fi signal at home was almost unheard of. People were using routers with hardwired connections rather than trust the fleeting and often flaky connection that most communications providers were offering. It wasn’t until Netflix really started to push the streaming of movies into homes (and the impending demise of DVD deliveries) that Wi-Fi became a huge concern.
