Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (GST) has taken the wraps off the world's first 2TB 7,200rpm desktop hard drive..

Hitachi’s ingeniously hinged screwdriver is your flexible friend when it comes to awkward screws and looks remarkably like a Halo 3 gun

Small enough to fit in your pocket but with enough power to make light work of rusty screws and flat-packed furniture

Nanotech breakthrough sees quadrupling of capacities.

If your PC is lacking storage space then give it some extra room with these four internal hard disks.

The ubiquitous micro-hard drive has found its way into a PDA. palmOne yesterday announced the LifeDrive, a PDA with basic features, a large 320x480 colour screen and a 4GB Hitachi hard drive.

Capacity? Value for money? Who's got what? Read on to find out who has the best marriage of both.

Although boasting the lowest average access time in the roundup at 12.2ms, looking at this drive's graphs, we notice a few more hiccups along the way than its big brother the 400GB Deskstar 7K400.

Up against some very tough competition, Seagate's Barracuda 7200.7 managed to take out the coveted Labs winner award this month with its fantastic attributes.

At almost double the capacity of the other products in our roundup, this 400GB disk is big and fast, but unfortunately comes with an equally sized price tag.

While hard disk drive speed is commonly one of the last considerations when putting together a new machine, its importance is more than just a place to store your files and operating system.

If the CCD is the brain of a digital video camera it is logical that three should be better than one. A single CCD has to deal with all colours together while a 3-CCD system divides the primary red, green and blue (RGB) colours to individual CCDs to give a much more precise and accurate picture. The result is a high quality image that is as good as any of the cameras tested - including the Sony DVD201E, which provided the benchmark for most of the others.

There is not a huge difference between this and the MV550E. In fact, if you put them side by side you have to look closely to see the difference in looks, which is model number in small print on one side.

Hitachi pioneered the idea of consumer cameras capable of recording video direct to DVD. The early models were large and relatively expensive but high quality. It has taken a while for the idea to take off but it is certainly gaining momentum with a number of competitors now coming into the market. Hitachi has responded by progressively making its cameras more compact and adding extra features such as a SD memory card for storing still images or compressed video clips.

The second Panasonic submitted, the PT-LC76E rated higher than its sister model -- with even better performance for both office and home real world tests - and came only second to the Hitachi CPS210 overall.

Microsoft has four key 'visions' for Pocket PC 2003 (PPC 2003): make it easier for manufacturers to innovate, improve the 'wireless experience', bring easy instant messaging to the PDA, and expand the 'media experience'.

Time to put the lid on your conventional bulky monitor? Australia's largest flat panel display roundup thinks so.

The evocatively named NF1500MAE from Hitachi is a surprisingly good screen for its low price.

There are almost as many acronyms for the various standards of DVD as there are companies involved in DVD development.
