06/30/2010 – With transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps, USB 3.0 marks a new standard in high-speed connectivity. Today, storage innovator Thecus® Technology is pleased to announce a new product in its ever-expanding lineup of products for the digital lifestyle – the CU30N. Sporting two USB 3.0 ports and full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards, the CU30N is the easy way to bring your computer system into the age of USB 3.0.
The CU30N is a full height PCIe add on card that is compatible with PCI Express x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots. Installation is extremely easy and no external power source is required to get it up and running. Once installed, the CU30N gives your system two USB 3.0 ports that are ready to connect with all sorts of USB 3.0 devices.
On the hardware front, the CU30N utilizes the NEC μPD720200 Processor - the world's first USB host controller compliant with USB 3.0 and xHCI specifications. With the NEC μPD720200, the CU30N supports four modes of transfer, including Low-speed (1.5Mbps), full-speed (12Mbps), high-speed (480 Mbps), and super-speed (5Gpbs).
The CU30N can also be used to upgrade certain Thecus® NAS units for USB 3.0 connectivity. Currently, the CU30N can be installed in the following models:
• N4200
• N7700 Series
• N8800 Series
The CU30N is fully compatible with PCs using Windows 7/Vista/XP 32/64bit operating systems.
“USB 3.0 is certainly the upcoming future connectivity standard, and with the CU30N, users can leverage this new standard today,” said Florence Shih, Thecus® Technology General Manager. “Combining the CU30N with our D0204 is a great way to experience the future of storage.”

January 5th is the release date of Divinity II: Ego Draconis for both PC and Xbox360 and I got the PC version a few weeks before that date so I could bring you a review or preview of it.

Army Of Two was released last year to a mixed critical and public reception. You had to fight through the environments with two mercenaries - Salem and Rios, both hardass gunslinging warriors who reveled in blowing up everything and everyone in their path. The action was intense but many felt it was shortlived and that the cooperative experience could have been much better.

Siege of Mirkwood is the latest addon for Lord Of The Rings Online and it places the player into a gloomy, dark and dingy world. Thats not to say it isn’t compelling however because there is still plenty that fans of the series will take from this game.

There are a huge variety of puzzle games available in 2009 and most of us have played at least a handful, such as Jewel Quest or 7 Wonders which all fit into the ‘match 3’ formula which proves so popular with the mass public. Pieces Interactive have a new title out called Puzzlegeddon which may be a fun game to play in the run up to the holidays ... as it costs only $10 it won’t break the bank either.
