Infinitec announces 'world's first' Infinite USB memory drive

As mesmerizing as it sounds. The worlds first USB drive with unlimited data streaming is here.

Infinitec has debuted what is reportedly the world’s first Infinite USB memory drive, allowing users to stream content from their PCs to most other gadgets all thanks to a little USB stick.

The Infinitec IUM is a plug-and-play device that claims to be compatible with with any device that supports traditional flash drives or has a USB port. Users can stream and share content, even HD media, between devices over a Wi-Fi network (802.11b/g/n).

Since it streams rather than holds content, there is an “infinite” amount of storage space. Get it?

Some suggested devices include computers/laptops/netbooks, gaming consoles (i.e. Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 if it ever works again), DVD/Blu-ray players and even digital photo frames. Just note that the host laptop for the drive, however, has to be running Windows XP, Vista or 7.

Infinitec is planning a major international release for their little gadget, when it is debuted in the U.S., Canada, Europe and the Middle East this July 1 for $129. That price, though, could change from country to country.

Switch to AHCI in Windows 7 ! (post Installation)

AHCI stands for Advanced Host Controller Interface. Its a technology for our hardware peripherals which enables our other hardware to communicate with more efficiently and hence improving our machines performance.


If you want to switch to AHCI after installing Windows 7, you’ll need to modify your registry and boot settings. I highly recommend to take your time to work through this Windows 7 tutorial, because AHCI has many advantages: It allows you to use hard drive features, such as NCQ (Native Command Queuing) or eSATA-Hot-Plugging, which can speed up Windows 7 if you are using a RAID drive.

1. Open regedit.exe (enter regedit.exe into search field)

2. Uncollapse the registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci

3. Modify the key “Start” to “0″

Alternatively, you can download our registry tweak or insert the following text into a notepad, save it as a .reg file and start it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci]
“Start”=dword:00000000

4. Next time you restart, Windows 7 will load the default drivers for AHCI (msahci.sys) and will use it for queuing SATA-controllers and their drives that run in AHCI-mode. So, the next step will be to switch your current SATA controllers from IDE to AHCI, else Windows 7 would still queue them via IDE and note via AHCI.

5. Restart and press “del” during start up to enter the BIOS.
Find your SATA-controller (read your motherboards manual for instructions) and change the mode from IDE to AHCI. Keep in mind that some motherboards don’t even support AHCI!

6. Done. You successfully switched to AHCI in Windows 7. Your disk performance can increase significantly if you are using a RAID drive and AHCI. A RAID drive is basically a combined set of two drives (of the same type and size)  for better reliability/performance.
