I tested the LincPlus LincStation E1 — an impressive 2+2 bay NAS, but the LincOS still feels like it's in developmentThe LaCie 8big Pro5 256TB is the fastest storage device of its type that I have connected to either a Mac or a PC by a long way; in fact, no other HDD drive of any type that I have ever tested comes even remotely close. The Real-world read speeds of 3,811 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark and 2,645 MB/s in AJA System Test just reflect the speed at which data was delivered and saved when editing 4 and 8K video directly from the array on both macOS and Windows. The single Thunderbolt 5 cable that both powers the MacBook Pro M1 Max at 140W while providing the main data connection is essentially like many o
I tested LaCie’s huge 256TB 8big Pro5, the storage is huge and its ideal for 8K video editing, but it comes with a price tag that's just as big… For a Windows-first-time NAS user who wants private local cloud storage, file backup, and remote access, it might not be the absolute best NAS device I've tested, but I found the E1 is a great choice given its price, especially once the software issues have been resolved. …
… Dell has also brought back the physical function keys F1 – F12 that run across the top of the keyboard, replacing the touch-only bar of previous models which, like the touchpad, looked nice, but presented accessibility issues. …

… The two longer screws aren’t easy to see or access, and they’re even more fun to put back if you don’t have a magnetic screwdriver. When you do get this layer out, and there is a ribbon cable carrying power to its fan that you need to be careful of, you can then access the memory and storage. …
… The purpose of this pairing was to determine how the extra bandwidth in the dock could be used to run both storage devices simultaneously. When accessed separately, the Corsair managed 3909 MB/s reads and 3704 MB/s writes, while the Ugreen caddie delivered 3670 MB/s reads and 2155 MB/s writes. …
