Xbox 360 Hard Drive (120 GB)

It's a 120GB hard drive, it comes with software and a cable to sync data between two drives, and it stores multimedia content. Its cost however is slightly prohibitive, making it a little hard to swallow even for hardcore gamers.

Seagate FreeAgent Pro External Hard Drive (750GB)

Seagate's excellent FreeAgent Pro is highly recommended to users with backup needs but are terrified by the concept of NAS drives. It doesn't hurt that it's a speedy little drive as well.

Maxtor Shared Storage Plus

Consumer NAS drives don't get classier or easier than the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus, but we'd like to see Gigabit Ethernet on it.

Linksys NSLU2 Network Storage Link

Linksys's NSLU2 is an inexpensive way to add a hard drive or two to a network, but its slow response makes it a poor all-around solution.

Asus WL-700gE Storage Router

The Asus WL-700gE router features an integrated hard drive and loads of media-sharing features. If you find yourself constantly downloading files from the Internet, it's worth the high cost and the complex setup routine.

Belkin N+ Wireless Router

The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $189 or so price tag.

Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB)

Intel's X-25M solid-state drive enjoys several advantages over both conventional disk drives and other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time and notebook battery life. If you can forget about the cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.

Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition (2TB)

Western Digital's My Book Mirror Edition is good value, and if the lack of transfer speed doesn't deter, then short of an NAS it's one of the better ways consumers can keep their data safe.
