As someone who uses a desktop and a netbook constantly, I’ve had some issues keeping everything synchronized. xMarks is an incredible Firefox plugin that keeps all of your bookmarks and passwords synchronized across your computers.

You create an account with them, and then everything is stored on their servers, and periodically their Firefox plugin syncs with the server making sure that everything is up to date. It’s completely seamless, and I’ve never had an issue with it.

Another cool feature is that you can login at the website, and access your favorites there, so if you need to get a link, but don’t have your computer, it’s pretty simple to get to it.

Personally, I don’t use the password sync, as I’m not comfortable having that kind of information all at one source, but the bookmark sync is incredible, and highly recommended.

You can download it at their official site here.

I’ve recently had the chance to use Thermaltake’s BlackX hard drive enclosure. It’s an external SATA to USB box that has some really nice features. Rather than being a standard enclosure that requires you to screw the drive in, it’s just a dock where you can plug in a SATA hard drive just like a big flash drive.

It feels pretty stable, seems fast, and supports hot-swapping as well. Anyone who does a lot of work with recovering data from hard drives, or who needs a fast, cheap way to move a lot of data should definitely take a look into this. You can buy it here.
