Mushkin @ CES 2012  In between my meeting with Trendnet and Intel I took the tram from the Mirage over to TI to visit the guys from Mushkin. They invited me up to show off what they have planning for 2012. Little did I know how exciting they were! This is where I ended up finding the product I am most excited for from CES this year.

Asus @ CES 2012  I found the time to stop and check out the Asus suite at Trump Tower while running around Las Vegas. JJ from Asus was kind enough to take me around even though I’m fairly sure I interrupted his lunch time. He showed off their current lineup and some of the products we can look forward to in 2012.

Kingston @ CES 2012  It was only a few months ago that we visited Kingston so I wasn’t expecting to see very much new stuff from our visit to their suite this year. Surprisingly I was very wrong; they had a few nice displays and a few cool interesting products from different parts of their product lineup to show off.

Sapphire @CES 2012  We made it all the way out to the end of the strip at the MGM to visit our friends at Sapphire this year. Other than the obvious things like the HD 7970 that we recently covered and the HD 7950 that we couldn’t photograph we did get a look at a few upcoming products from Sapphire to be excited about in 2012.

Razer @ CES 2012  Our Razer visit this year was fairly focused. I had planned on having lunch with RazerGuy like we did last year but a problem in scheduling messed this up. So when we got in we took a tour of the booth but all I really wanted to do was get my hands on the Fiona tablet that everyone was talking about. Look all the way to the bottom for the video ;)

EVGA @CES 2012  This year was our first visit with EVGA at CES so I wasn't sure what to expect when heading into the Wynn. But being such a community oriented company I figured they had to be cool people and we all know their product line is always interesting.

Trendnet @ CES 2012  It wouldn’t be CES without dropping in to see what Trendnet has going on. Their support for our events has been amazing and their products rock solid. But the networking world is always moving. A quick run-through of their suite showed that.

Zotac @ CES 2012  Even though my schedule was packed full of meetings I did find the time to swing by both the Zotac suite and their booth on the showfloor. Between the two I had a chance to get a few sneak peeks at upcoming products and we also saw a few cool case mods that Zotac was showing off.

title3For the second meeting of the day it was a easy one. Being picked up at the hotel by the IOSafe group we headed up to the Las Vegas Country Club. Not knowing what to expect I opened my mind to anything. Boy was I in for big surprise.

If you are not familiar with IOSafe they have some of the craziest external drives on the market. These things are built like tanks. I had seen them before but now I got to take a up close and personal look with them. Not only can you tell that they are very serious about making a quality product they also like to have some fun. Setup at the country club was a Tesla Coil. With the drive connected to a Mac using the Thunderbolt connection the CEO of IOSafe Rob made a quick document. He asked what we should put on it I was the last one and as you can see in the screenshot "Vote for LanOC.org was inserted.

With the drive getting "Shocked" with 1 million volts I was pretty sure the drive would take it but I still had my doubts. After Dr. Megavolt passed the drive through the cage back to Rob we plugged it in, the light turned on and the drive was up and running.

From what I have heard, in the past, these guys really go overboard on showing how tough their drives are. I don't have any doubts that you can literally beat the hell out of one on these things and still have it perform fine. The only question is, do you have data that is that mission critical that you can't lose it. If you answered yes, take a look at IOSafe.
