For the techies out there who deal with a lot of data and switch back and forth between hard drives, this little gadget would go well with your equipment. The USB 2.0 SATA HDD Stage Rack is a dock for your HDD that does away with enclosures altogether.

The device is compatible with both PCs and Macs and is available for EUR 33 (US$ 47). The device is compatible with 2.5-inch HDDs and 3.5-inch HDDs and operates on a simple plug and play system, which is already a customary function in this day and age.

It would have been cool if they also added a portable multimedia player function like the early model from Onkyo or like Headplay's. Still, it's pretty useful nevertheless.

Onkyo continues to make its product iPod-compatible by releasing the CR-D1 CD/FM tuner amplifier with built-in iPod dock. The CR-D1 comes with DS-A1 dock option, which allows the system to connect and control the iPod via remote control. With the D-DIE 2-way speaker, optional UWL-1 module and a USB dongle, PC tracks can easily be transmitted. Connectivity isn't a problem with 1 x optical, 3 x RCA, stereo mini-jack inputs, subwoofer and headphone outputs.

The CR-D1 will be available in Japan on July 15 for 52,500 Yen ($456) and the D-DIE 2-way speaker costs $27,300 ($237).
