Or simply have a whole stack of harddrives storing backups of all your CD/DVDs. The UDock is your simplest way to swap-in and swap-out harddisks with zero fuss. Firm and Stable each UDock is designed to hold your harddisk stable and firm. Specially weighted so it will not topple over like other inferior designs. USB2.0 & eSATA for the fastest transfer speeds you've come to enjoy with AC Ryan. UDrive UDock series - Ultimate Drive Tools for your Naked Drive Since the first original UDrive debuted in 2006 as the Ultimate Drive Tool for Techies, the UDrive has been a bestseller and hot favorite among techies. As more and more users have multiple harddisks (often several naked drives tucked away in some drawer), we've decided to develop more tools for you to enjoy those naked drives. An interesting trio - UDrive (bestseller), UDock (now available), UDrive Mini (coming soon) - that makes up the expanded UDrive UDock series - Ultimate Drive Tools for your Naked Drives. http://www.acryan.com/index.php?option=com_acryan_product&product_item=208&parent_id=13&Itemid=79 news@acryan.com Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:00:00 +0100 - Product News - ProData [AC Ryan ProCables] AC Ryan announces its new key productline ProCables - quality cabling for the Data Generation. One ProCables family, with 2 new series HIFX Evolution and ProCables. With Lifetime Guarantee. Background - designing and producing cables since 1992, AC Ryan found itself launched into user's awareness when its ProModding gear in 2002 made it into modding community's favorite. While most modders are not aware of AC Ryan's roots in cabling, you can easily see that at heart of the ProModding line-up was an extensive range of cabling and cable management. With the commercial success of ProData, it is a matter of time that AC Ryan seeks awareness and recognition as a leading key company in the quality cables market. Powered with 16 years of cabling experience, here comes the ProCables & HIFX Evolution. ProCables, the main series anchoring the productline, brings professional standards to consumers. Reliable, standards cabling at consumer friendly prices. HIFX Evolution, the extreme series within the ProCables line-up, showcases the depth of AC Ryan's cabling know-how. HIFX Evolution takes cabling design & construction into new standards - not only is each HIFX Evolution cable souped up with the best quality material, they are built with a unique AC Ryan proprietary cabling innovation GroundProtect - to give you more performance for every buck. GroundProtect - Cable performance, how much bandwidth can it deliver, and for what distance, is very much dependent on how much it can withstand Electro-Magnetic Interfence (EMI). While all other cable design has been focused on shielding data signals, we've gone right to the foundation of the data signal - the Ground signal. Having a stable Ground is as important to the Data signal as foundation is to a skyscraper. The result is evident in our commercially available HIFX Evolution 15m and 20m HDMI cables. By protecting both Data and Ground Signals, we've developed a new cabling design that will give you more performance for every buck of quality material. So for every similarly priced cable, we can give you more performance! We think that's quite evolutionary. http://www.acryan.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=3&Itemid=48 news@acryan.com Tue, 8 Jul 2008 10:00:00 +0100 - Product News - ProData [AC Ryan ProData] Get ready to party! Hit the beach, buzz down to the pool, gather your friends for a BBQ... the Playon! Boombox is for you. Compact enough to slip into any backpack, and still packs a solid WOOF!! This is NOT your typical weak ass 1W "pocket speaker" that sounds like a tin-can, worse sounding than your mobile phone. PlayOn! Boombox is 200% more sound with 3W amplified speakers. PlayOn! is a breakthrough in portable bass with the unique BackBass design. Playon! Boombox 5 key unique features: ** MORE SOUND & REAL BASS ** MP3/WMA/MP4 PLAYER WITH COLOR SCREEN ** 2GB BUILT-IN / SUPPORT SD & MMC CARD ** 72 HOUR PLAY / RECHARGEABLE WITH USB & AC ** FM RADIO & FM RADIO RECORDING Why Playon! Boombox? - a unique product perfect for the summer parties, poolside, beach, picnics... - packs a powerful big sound and yet small enough to fit into a backpack - say NO to the mini speakers that gives no more sound than your mobile phone - say YES to Playon! Boombox 50% to 200% more sound - say NO to bass-less "chihuahua" sound - say YES to BackBass System that brings portable real Bass - 72 hour long playtime - 3-way power with Batteries / USB / AC - Extend playtime even more, play / charge with AC Ryan's MobiliT External Batteries Playon! BoomBox : with Real Bass PLUS More Bass with BackBass System At AC Ryan, we feel that bass is a very important dimension of music. So we've made sure that the we've put bass in the Playon! Boombox, something unthinkable to others - What? Bass in a portable sound system? Check the back of the Boombox and you'll see the bass woofers there. And we did not stop there. A good bass needs space, space to develop, space to project, and walls to bounce on. In a traditional home hifi speaker, that's exactly what the bass speaker case does. When designing Playon! Boombox as a portable system, we do not have the luxury of putting the bass in a big box. So to give the Bass more space, we've come up with the BackBass System. To experience this BackBass in action, just place the Boombox in front of a wall (or something solid like a tree, a desk, a computer casing). The BackBass projects the bass and bounces it off the wall giving the bass an extra depth. Playon Boombox is like no ordinary portable speaker - hear the difference! Playon! is AC Ryan's new series of digital life poducts. With the summer season moving in, lifestyle moves outdoors... perfect for Playon! Boombox as the first release in a series of Playon! . http://www.acryan.com/index.php?option=com_acryan_product&product_item=207&parent_id=42&Itemid=98 news@acryan.com Mon, 9 Jun 2008 10:00:00 +0100 - Product News - ProData [AC Ryan ProModding] It's Color Time!

AC Ryan injected colors with UVactive fever back in the early days of modding... now we're back! This time bringing colors in shades of aluminum glory. Aluminum Panels is without doubt one of the modder's favorite material - lightweight, strong, cools and looks great.

Therefore we gave them our Mirror2 panel to mod into a little reviewproject. "The thing also worth noting is the fact it was two sided, this meant the light inside was bounced back (thus making the inside brighter) which gave the light coming through a boost. This for me shows me even more modding potential for this product. As always A.C Ryan have released a product that the modding community will love and in my belief even those that don’t like side windows would like the mirror effect still, even with no lighting.

With the eSATA up front, you'll have esy access to your eSATA. Front ports have enjoyed tremendous popularity ever since they were introduced. We've updated our cardreader+frontports with the new blazing speed eSATA port. Why? Cos we know our the AC Ryan users wants their data fast and without fuss. Feeling USB speed a bit tiring when moving that movie library? You're not alone. USB is designed for convenience, not high bandwidth data transfer. But hey it's multipurpose so why dont we use it for data transfer too. That worked out pretty well until ... the data boom that turned mega to giga and giga to terra. Suddenly USB - the general purpose Universal Serial Bus - is not quite the guy to do the professional job of moving data anymore. Say hello to eSATA - designed and purpose-built for data. Built on the same foundations as SATA - the guys that run your internal harddisks - eSATA has exactly the same benefits as SATA. Now, armored and beefed up to withstand harsh external environment., eSATA will give your external harddisks the same performance and usage benefites as your internal harddisks. Isn't that just great? Having external harddisk that works just like your internal SATA harddisks. And with all the plug-n-play convenience. http://www.acryan.com/news/200706-Cardreader.shtml news@acryan.com http://www.acryan.com/news/200706-Cardreader.shtml Wed, 6 Jun 2007 09:00:00 +0100 - Product News - ProData Computers/Hardware/Storage [AC Ryan ProData] Famous for his deep and thorough reviews, 3dGameman took our AluBox TFX for a spin. Watch as he goes all the way, even putting his weight into the fight! Good for a Kickass Gameman's award! - "A.C. Ryan has really impressed me with their build quality and thought process. From the packaging on, quality of build really expresses itself. The 1.8mm thick aluminum creates a great cooling side affect along with a durability that can only come from a thick metal. The ability to connect both SATA and IDE drives is not uncommon in the market place, but having both of these features along with the options for using USB and eSATA for data transfer is awesome…" http://www.3dgameman.com/content/view/8616/45/ news@acryan.com http://www.3dgameman.com/content/view/8616/45/ Mon, 4 Jun 2007 10:00:00 +0200 - Product Reviews - ProData Computers/Hardware/Storage/Subsystems [AC Ryan ProModding] Eye candy for your watercooling gear?

Ryan. The design is top-notch, and the enclosure is solidly built. The options for USB and eSATA connections are great for versatility, and the option of using an IDE or SATA hard drive make it cost-effective. No longer are users required to buy separate enclosures for each type of drive. The only downside I saw to the AluBoxTFX was the use plastic endcaps, but they were obviously used to elimate costs. The quality of the rest of the unit is superb, and nothing short of what users have come to expect from A.C. Ryan. Thought performance is not the best of the test group, it is still at or above average. Overall, the AluBox TFX is a versatile external enclosure, complete with quality and style." http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ACRyan/AluBoxTFX news@acryan.com http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ACRyan/AluBoxTFX Tue, 8 May 2007 10:00:00 +0200 - Product Reviews - ProData Computers/Hardware/Storage/Subsystems [AC Ryan ProModding] Go hardcore ProModding... construct your own casings, your own front panels, side panels, or skin your mods with design layers.
