Today, Seagate subsidiary, LaCie, is launching two new portable SSDs, aiming to deliver high performance for a seamless workflow. There are two options to choose from, the LaCie Mobile SSD Secure and the LaCie Portable SSD, both providing up to 2TB of mobile storage. 

The LaCie Mobile SSD Secure and LaCie Portable SSD deliver read speeds up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1,000 MB/s, empowering content-creators with the ability to complete file transfers quickly or work directly from the drive. The LaCie Mobile SSD Secure takes things a step further by offering enhanced security features, including hardware encryption and a lock/unlock feature through the LaCie Toolkit software. 

Both drives use a USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C interface and are compatible with both USB-C and USB 3.0 devices, including PCs, Macs and tablets. Out of the box, these drives are configured to work seamlessly with Windows, Mac and iPad, including file mirroring capabilities to sync files across multiple devices. 

Built with a minimalist design that is lightweight, travel-sized, and shock-resistant, LaCie Portable SSD and LaCie Mobile SSD Secure are packaged with LaCie Toolkit software for  scheduled backups and a one-month Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps plan. Both drives are also backed by a three-year warranty and Rescue Data Recovery services. 

The LaCie Mobile SSD Secure starts at £119.99 for the 500GB model, £199.99 for the 1TB model and £349.99 for the 2TB model. The LaCie Portable SSD is a little bit cheaper, starting at £109.99 for the 500GB model, £179.99 for the 1TB model and £349.99 for the 2TB model.

Bitspower is launching a new range of highly secure water cooling fittings for hard tube setups. The new fittings feature a brand new locking mechanism to make them the company’s most secure fittings yet.

The new range of Advanced Multi-link series fittings for hard tube water cooling solutions from Bitspower are equipped with a new locking mechanism, that makes them a tight and secure fit over hard tubing to prevent the chance of system leaks. In addition, the new design also improves assembly times for a quicker way to complete a hard tube water cooling setup.

The new fittings are manufactured from high-quality brass and are available in a range of finishes including Shining Silver, Deluxe White, Black Matte or Black Sparkle and are designed to fit hard tubing with an outer diameter of 12mm, 14mm or 16mm.

A brand-new three-piece design makes the fittings easier to install on hard tubing. The Advanced Multi-Link range has a loose feel when not fully assembled, so requires much less force to fit over the hard tubing. Once the three pieces of the fitting are slid in place over the tube and tightened, the mechanism locks over the tube and provides a perfect seal to ensure your loop is secure and watertight.

At the moment, Bitspower has made only straight fittings available in this new design, no official word has been given on whether these will be available in angles just yet. The new Bitspower Advanced Multi-Link straight fittings are available from the Bitspower online store now, with prices starting from 200 NT$ which converts to approximately £5.00 at current exchange rates.

KitGuru says: The new Advanced Multi-Link fittings from Bitspower should offer peace of mind, with a super tight fit and leak-free seal while looking great too. What do you guys think of these new fittings from Bitspower?

A new report from the Centre for Public Safety (CPS) has found that only a quarter of all police websites utilise secure connections, meaning much of the information they receive and transmit is sent in clear text. But it turns out that's just the tip of the iceberg, as many policing websites in the UK lack basic security measures and could be making civilian data vulnerable to hackers.

“Public services are undergoing a digital transformation and much has been made of the need and potential for such transformation in UK policing. While 27 per cent of police forces and affiliated organisations achieved the best grades in our tests, the others should be considered a cause for concern,” the CPS said in a statement (via TheInquirer).

It went on in its report to recommend a number of steps that should be taken to improve the security of these sites. The first step is to enable secure connections, thereby at least offering a basic level of information obfuscation for visitors. It also highlighted that a number of sites have extreme vulnerabilities in their back end, which would make them an easy target for hackers. Closing those loopholes should also be of major consideration.

Specific websites and services which the CPS called out to massively overhaul their security, include the likes of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, as well as the British Transport Police and the National Crime Agency.

KitGuru Says: Considering some of the hacks we've seen in recent years, it's no surprise that many police forces don't have the best security. They should though. In a perfect world these should be some of the hardest systems to get into.

While PC users are warm and fuzzy with the idea that they are tracked all over the web, pretty much all the time, Apple users seem to have a much higher expectation of privacy. Google circumvented the Apple users' choice to remain anonymous and, now, will pay the $22.5m price. KitGuru fixes a tin foil hat in place before investigating.

If you use a PC to surf the web, then you expect your system to be tracked here, there and everywhere with a variety of cookies and other devices. The recent spate of sites using pop ups to tell you that ‘cookies are being used' was surprising, because you could not imagine that they weren't being used.

It's a bit like cars being delivered with warning stickers saying, “I use petrol – is that OK?”

Apple's default posture with its Safari browser, is to reject cookies unless the customer says that it is OK.

Google cheated its way past this requirement for ‘Permission to install a cookie behind your back on Safari', by coding advert to say “Any kind of interaction with this advert is a ‘Yes' vote for cookies going forward”. The reason for it circumventing the cookie ban is that it needed cookie permission to implement certain features of its ‘Google +' social network.

Essentially, the ability to ‘Like' something with Google needs a cookie. No cookie, no like. Which is a problem when people no like cookies.

Who actually benefits from the 22,500,000 dollar bills was unclear.

Ironic that the brain child of control freak Jobs would help increase personal freedom

KitGuru says: To think that we're not going to be tracked, every minute of every hour of every day – for the whole of our lives – is naive. Echoing the sentiments of Whitney Houston, it's not right but it's OK – at least for most people. We, as a people, seem to have lost the previous generation's need to live individual lives. Our obsession with the web, celebrity and constant communication is ensuring that we live in an ever more constrictive web of our own construction going forward.
