Hasta La Gadget!

Western Digital, a name that is instantly associated with storage space – portable or otherwise, is back with a proud new addition to the family. We are not talking about its 4TB hard drives, as those are already old hat by the time the news hit the wires, but rather, the latest device in their wide array of devices would be the My Book Live Duo, a dual-drive RAID box which offers a higher degree of peace of mind concerning the data that you stash away. Right at the top of the pile sits an 8TB version that will burn a $660 hole in your pocket, but assuming you are working on a slightly tighter budget, there is always a 6TB unit that will cost $440, with the 4TB model retailing for $375 a pop.

Just to get a better idea on what the My Book Live Duo comes with, it holds a couple of user-serviceable 3.5-inch hard drives and supports RAID 1 and RAID 0 configurations to boot. The 8TB model will come only in the RAID 0 setup, which is extremely speedy, albeit it lacks redundancy. Decisions, decisions. [Product Page]

If you’re looking for a dock for your iPhone 5 that will play nicely with the design of your new (or maybe old) iMac, the OCDock is a Kickstarter project you might be interested in taking a look at. The premise of the OCDock is rather simple – plug your iPhone 5 into it and it charges, but one of the great things we noticed about the OCDock is the fact that it seems to blend in so well with the iMac. Made from high-grade aluminum, the OCDock features a thin cable that will run underneath your iMac, while the dock itself will stick to the base of the computer with a strong and reusable tape. What this means is that it gives off the illusion that the dock has always been part of the iMac, and that you will not need to hold the dock down when undocking your iPhone from it.

The way that it has been designed also puts it right in front of you, so any messages or calls can be seen while you work in front of your computer. Available in silver or matte black, the OCDock will also be available in the traditional 30-pin dock connector for those with older iOS devices, and if you’d like to get an OCDock for yourself upon successful Kickstarter funding, a minimum pledge of $55 will be required. More details about the OCDock can be found on its Kickstarter page.
