Apple & Lacie Thunderbolt Technology

Posted on by
Apple officially unveiled the newly updated MacBook Pro range featuring new high-speed Thunderbolt I/O technology and improved processor and graphics offerings back in February 2011. LACIE have just announced the Little Big Disk with Thunderbolt Technology to support this range of Macs. Running on PCI Express and DisplayPort protocols, data transfer speeds between peripherals on Thunderbolt technology can reportedly be done 20 times faster than USB 2.0. LACIE also mention the use of SSD technology in the little big disk to complement this technology, using two 250GB Intel 510® Series Solid-State Drives (SSD). The two solid-state drives are preconfigured as a Striped RAID Set for enhanced performance.
Our only concern with SSD technology is it’s reliability and endurance.
As with any non-volatile floating gate memory device, the more you cycle the device the more failures you tend to observe, and the less data retention you get. So although the I/O technology is the way forward, the type of device used for critical data storage, is still a question to be answered.

Pogo Plug Remote Access Device

We often have requests from small business customers as to which is the best backup solution when having more than one user, and also when the users are located in different geographical locations. Well Pogo Plug may be the answer to this problem. It allows you to attach and share as many storage devices as you wish and also allows users to drag and drop files, making moving files across a remote network straight forward. Therefore you could have a large central storage unit for your users to access and back up their files.

Apple Time Machine & iPhoto

Posted on by

There appears to be a quirk with Time Machine on Macs, where iPhoto library is not being backed up. So I recommend that customers check their backups to make sure that Time Machine has backed up correctly. If they find that the backup does not contain the iPhoto library, then in future you need to make sure the iPhoto application is closed before Time Machine starts.
