HP's Speedy MediaSmart EX495 Server

With the addition of more processing power (2.5GHz versus 2.0GHz), HP's MediaSmart EX495 not only bested its EX487 stablemate that we reviewed earlier this year, but proved to be the fastest network-attached storage box we've ever tested. Move over, Synology DS209+ II! The EX495 was particularly fast during virus scans and at finding files thanks to the indexing feature of its Windows Home Server operating system. The EX495 ships with one 1.5TB drive instead of the two 750GB units that the EX487 features--which means there's no possibility of data redundancy unless you add another drive. The EX495 is otherwise physically identical to the EX487,...

This year at CES, 3D technology was a definite focus of attention. And, like anyone, we were happy to see new ways that make your entertainment (and your information) more engrossing and engaging. But, there’s no question that the immersion is ruined when you can’t interact with what’s on the screen in any way, or if you need to fumble around a few different remotes to pause, mute, or control the action. It’s worse if you want your home theater to include a PC- and as they’re getting smaller and sleeker, who wouldn’t? Over the last year we’ve looked at a couple of good media server options that make integration from your computer to your TV...
