Forget cloud services, this blisteringly fast NAS device keeps all your files to hand, and supports up to 164TB of storage – enough for over 33 million standard resolution photos

IceWhale Technology, the creator of the ZimaBoard, has just successfully concluded its latest Kickstarter campaign for new personal cloud storage device.

Available in standard and Pro versions, the ZimaCube is a compact, private, and secure alternative to traditional cloud storage options, offering users complete control over their data.

Unlike traditional cloud storage services, which store data on remote servers, ZimaCube allows users to store up to 164TB of personal data locally, on a device they own and control. This not only ensures greater privacy and security but also offers faster access to data – up to 20x faster than cloud services.

Smashed its funding in minutes

Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, the ZimaCube is powered by an Intel N100 processor and 8GB RAM, while the more advanced ZimaCube Pro has a 12th Gen Core i5 processor and 16GB RAM.

Both have 6+1 drive bays for a mix of SATA HDD and NVMe SSDs, plus 2.5GbE networking ports. They offer a selection of USB-A and USB-C ports, and the Pro version comes with two additional Thunderbolt USB-C ports.

IceWhale Technology set a funding goal of $10,000 on Kickstarter to bring ZimaCube to the market, and hit that amount in two minutes, going on to close the campaign with $1.2 million in pledges.

The campaign offered a number of rewards, priced from $499 (for the base model) up to $1599 (for the “Creator Pack” Pro version) and although the campaign has now ended, it’s possible to order the base version of the ZimaCube Pro Personal Cloud for $1438.80, or the 64GB RAM upgraded model for $1618.80 here.

The company has already received positive feedback for the ZimaCube. Early reviewers have praised its ease of use, fast access speeds, and the peace of mind it offers by allowing users to retain control of their data.

Delivery for the first batch of the ZimaCube is expected in March 2024.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
