Over the last few months, there have been several new upgrade hard drives and SSDs that have been announced for notebooks and netbooks. One of the common issues for computer users wanting a larger hard drive is getting the data from their computer over to the new drive.

Apricorn has announced a new upgrade kit called the SATA Wire that is a cable that connects to the SATA SSD or HDD and to your PC USB port. The kit also includes software for Mac and Windows machines to migrate data to the new drive.

There never seems to be enough storage space on my notebook or desktop computer. For a while, I think I will never fill up the drive, and before I know it, I am looking for stuff to delete. Many people have the same problem with their iPods.

The players get packed with music and then tracks have to be deleted before you can add new music. If your fifth gen Video iPod is packed with music and other content and you need more space, Apricorn has announced a new upgrade kit that crams 240GB of storage into the iPod.

I love my DVR. I haven’t watched a commercial in over a year and if I had to go back to life without a DVR, I would rather not watch TV. The only problem with my DVR is that it needs more space, but I can’t simply crack it open and put in a bigger drive. This is where products like the Apricorn DVR Expander that debuted back in January come in.

The DVR Expander is an external hard drive designed specifically to work with certain DVR models. Apricorn has updated the DVR expander with a black and silver color scheme that looks better than the original. The device now works with Scientific Atlanta 8300 DVRs, DirecTV DVRs, and Dish Network ViP HD DVR.

If you are in the market for a compact, portable hard drive that can store lots of data, check out the new line of Aegis Mini hard drives from Apricorn. The Apricorn Aegis Mini comes in several sizes, the largest being 240GB, there are also 80GB and 120GB capacities available.

These tiny hard drives measure just 17mm x 68.5mm x 86mm and weigh just 3.7oz, and you can choose either a USB or firewire version. To put its size into perspective, these high capacity hard drives are smaller then a standard deck of cards. Prices start at $149 for the 80GB version, while the 240GB version will cost you $269.

When you first get your DVR from the cable or satellite provider its 10 or 20 hours of recording time sounds like an eternity. Then you quickly realize that you can’t get your full season of Oprah and The Price is Right without running out of room for necessities like Celebrity Rehab.

Apricorn has announced a new DVR expander called (wait for it) the DVR Xpander that offers 1.5TB of storage space. With that much storage, you can record 843 hours of SD programs or 187.5 hours of HD programs. Surprisingly the price for the 1.5TB version isn’t even that high at $239.
