Hardware Reviews

To allow me to post quick and dirty reviews of hardware that I've used in home and in business — something I've long wanted to do much more frequently, empowering searchers with another user's perspective to help guide their choices — I've set up a separate blog (courtesy of this great new custom blog software). This will allow me to hash out and publish reviews without feeling that it's contrary to the direction or tone of this blog.

This carries on the original intent of my long unchanged mini-reviews page.

First up is a review of the Comstar 500GB USB RJ45 / Ximeta ND USB Netdisk Enclosure
