Seagate FireCuda X Vault review: Large capacity and decent transfer rates make this external hard drive a great solution for video and photography

Image
Seagate FireCuda X Vault: 30-second review Specs Capacity : 8TB (20TB) Drive type : 3.5-inch spinning hard drive (HDD) Interface : USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5Gbps) Power : Bus-powered via USB-C (requires 15W from host port) Transfer speeds : Not officially specified RGB : Customisable, Windows Dynamic Lighting compatible Gaming certification : Officially designed for Xbox on PC Backup software : Seagate Toolkit (Windows only) Cable included : USB-C to USB-C, 50cm Dimensions : 7.80 × 2.09 × 5.20in (198 × 53 × 132mm) Weight : 2.84 lbs (1290g) The FireCuda X Vault is a first when it comes to desktop hard drives. It essentially brings bus-powered USB-C to a 3.5-inch external hard drive, something that is common with the smaller 2.5-inch portable HDDs that have been around for years, but as yet untried for the larger format. A quick look at the drive shows it has been primarily designed for the gaming ma...

VMware Workstation Pro desktop virtualization platform review

Image
VMware Workstation Pro is often included among the best virtual machine software , particularly for users who prioritize stability, performance, and flexibility. Its long-standing presence in professional and enthusiast environments makes it a strong alternative to more basic free tools, especially for those who need a more consistent and feature-rich virtualization experience. VMware Workstation Pro: Plans and pricing VMware Workstation Pro is now available free of charge, marking a significant shift from its previous licensing model. While earlier 2024 releases limited free access to personal use, subsequent updates expanded availability to a broader range of users, including commercial and educational environments. The full Pro feature set is accessible without a license fee, although this comes with a trade-off. Free users do not receive direct technical support, and organizations that requir...

Ninja French Door Air Fryer and Countertop Oven does it all — but it cooks faster than you might expect, so you'll need to keep an eye on it

Image
Ninja French Door Air Fryer and Countertop Oven: one-minute review The Ninja French Door Air Fryer and Countertop Oven is an efficient and flexible cooking appliance. It has 10 cook modes: Air Fry, Air Roast, Whole Roast, Bake, Pizza, Broil, Reheat, Dehydrate, Toast, and Bagel. You can quickly cook or heat up just about anything you can fit into its extra-large cooking area. It pre-heats in seconds, and cooks your food faster than you would expect. Obviously we like fast-working appliances, but it also means you need to keep an eye on your food as it cooks. You can't just follow the directions on the prepared food box and walk away; I found that this appliance cooked some frozen items faster than the box directions indicated. The Ninja French Door Air Fryer and Countertop Oven uses "Cyclonic Air Technology." It does allow for speedy all-over cooking and eliminates the need to rotate...

Cape Fear review: Apple TV's new adaptation is stylish, scary, and features Javier Bardem's best performance yet

Image
Cape Fear was one of my most anticipated Apple TV shows of 2026, but I was also worried about it. Adapting such an iconic story is no easy task, as people will always end up comparing it to the original. That said, I was impressed by Nick Antosca's take on Max Cady and the terror he unleashes on everyone around him. To give you a quick synopsis of Cape Fear , it follows Cady, a vicious and unreformed ex-convict who gets revenge on the two attorneys who put him behind bars. That's enough to send a chill down your spine, and it requires a really strong performance to stick the landing. Fortunately, we get that thanks to Javier Bardem. It might be bold of me to say, but his take on Max Cady is my favorite thing he has ever done, because he left me feeling utterly terrified. Truly, he is deranged in this and brings so much to the role. A good villain is more than just scary, and he has it al...

Onfleet fleet management platform review

Lytx fleet management platform review

Image
Picking a fleet management platform is one of the more consequential decisions a fleet operator can make, and the market is not short of capable options. Lytx sits near the top of our best fleet management software shortlist, and it has earned that position primarily through its video-backed telematics and AI-powered safety coaching, two areas where it consistently outperforms the field. The platform is built around DriveCam, a dual-facing dash cam system that uses Lytx's proprietary machine vision and AI (MV+AI) technology to detect risky behavior both inside the cab and on the road ahead. In nearly three decades of operation, Lytx has accumulated over 500 billion kilometers of commercial driving data, the largest driving database of its kind, which powers a risk detection engine capable of identifying more than 60 distinct behaviors.
