WD Red 6TB review

WD Red 6TB review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The WD Red in its new 6 TB form is self-evidently one huge disk. With the help of improved firmware it is now smiled upon for use in 8-bay NAS units, while its top speed of around 175 MB/s is faster than ever. Only at the level of smallest files do we see a compromise in performance, but providing your NAS is working with larger media files for instance you may be unlikely to notice this shortfall....

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs Xperia Z3 Compact comparison review

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs Xperia Z3 Compact comparison review Our Verdict Overall, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is not all that different from the Xperia Z1 Compact. The design is improved, the screen is a bit bigger, the processor is slightly better and the camera has been tweaked, but we’d suggest that none of those improvements are major. However, unless you can find the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact for under £300, we’d recommend buying the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for £349 for those slight improvements, extra durability and new features....

‘World’s smallest’ 3G module will bring Internet to all sorts of devices

‘World’s smallest’ 3G module will bring Internet to all sorts of devices AT&T has certified a 3G chip module that the manufacturer calls the world’s smallest, but that doesn’t mean the carrier is going after toddlers as its last untapped customer base. The U-blox SARA-U260 module, which measures 16 by 26 millimeters, can handle voice calls. But it’s not designed for really small phones for tiny hands. Instead, it’s meant to carry the small amounts of data that machines are sending to each other over the “Internet of things,” where geographic coverage — 3G’s strong suit — matters more than top speed....

Sky Now TV Box review

Sky Now TV Box review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A perfectly capable media streamer, with dedicated remote control, for only £10 may look an indisputable bargain. It’s light on features and obviously geared towards Sky’s content, but if you want an inexpensive, fuss-free way of watching the occasional football match or TV series, it would be just the ticket providing Sky sorts out its streaming servers. The Sky Now TV player is a rebranded Roku device, which may have you wondering whether you can get all the features of theRoku 3for a tenth of the price?...
