Two new ones have arrived today from the labs of LaCie, and neither are destined to ever end up inside of your PC. Up first, we’ve got the slightly speedier d2 external DVD±RW drive with LightScribe, which toasts discs at up to 22x and connects to PCs via USB 2.0 or FireWire (400, presumably). For those in need of HDD-based storage, the glossy black Hard Disk MAX comes with a pair of 1TB drives that can be set in either a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration with the simple flick of a switch on the back panel. There’s also a USB port on the front for additional expansion, and the USB 2.0 socket ’round back is what links it up with your computer.

You should’ve known that Canon wouldn’t be able to introduce a new family of HD camcorders without Samsung hitting back with a crew of its own, so it’s with that in mind that we present Samsung’s H-Series. The HMX-H106, HMX-H105, HMX-H104, and HMX-H100 all arrive with Full HD sensors and a Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD lens with Optical Image Stabilization, but it’s the H106 that really steals the show. Said device is the first Full HD camcorder to incorporate a 64GB SSD within, while the H105 and H104 offer up 32GB and 16GB SSDs, respectively; as for the H100, you’ll be providing your own SD / SDHC card before anything gets recorded.

It’s debatable whether wireless USB is on its way out or on its way in (for real this time), but regardless of which way it’s swaying, Wisair’s got some availability you should know about. The outfit’s Wireless USB Display Adapter Set, which is a screen-centric variant of the kit introduced back in November, will be available this quarter in the US and Europe. Based on Wisair’s WSR601 Wireless USB single chip solution, the device offers up VGA and HDMI connectivity options, supports resolutions up to 1,400 x 1,050 and is USB-IF certified. If you’re struggling to understand the purpose here, the two-piece bundle enables USB-equipped PCs to stream content to TVs, monitors and projectors sans cabling, and it’ll do so for just $129.
