Nokia has updated its iSync software for Mac and now supports the new N8 . If you’re a Mac owner, you’re probably all too familiar with the pain of being unable to easily sync non-iPhone/iPod devices to your computer. Third-party software doesn’t make it any better, either.

The design of this 8-drive RAID tower is pretty clearly derived from the Mac Pro (and it would look great next to one), but I actually like this thing better. It’s the SansDigital TowerRAID TR8XP , and it’s got room for up to 8 SATA or SAS drives in there, for a (current) max capacity of 16TB and potential data read/writes at up to 700MB/s, depending on your RAID mode. It’ll set you back $745 without drives, so it’s not exactly an impulse buy, but that’s really not a bad deal.
