Iomega external SSD flash
drive. Heed Steve Jobs. When
he says something is the future
of computing, you’d better believe
it. Most recently, the Apple CEO ripped
all the disk-based hard drives out of his
MacBook Air computers and replaced them with
solid state drives, or SSDs. Faster, more stable and
much more energy efficient, these drives—including
this external effort by Iomega, which comes in 64-, 128- and 256-megabyte capaci-
ties—contain the same innards as your tiny USB thumb drive or the memory in your
media player, only at much larger sizes and with price tags to match. But trust us:
transferring data at a blazing-fast speed and having a drive that is able to withstand
a 10-foot drop is worth the higher cost. $229; iomega.com

Tax time is getting uncomfortably close, and in addition to the 1040s, 1099s and
W-2s sitting on your desk, there also is likely a pile of regret that you didn’t get
your office organized this past year. Whether by condensing stacks of paperwork
or archiving pesky electronic files, these gadgets have what it takes to file all
your folders and make sure everything is in its place. —John Patrick Pullen
