Synology Launches BeeDrive Personal Backup Hub

Synology has announced the release of BeeDrive, a compact data hub that backs up personal files and photos from your computer, phone, and tablet simultaneously. In less than three minutes of setup, any PC user can start protecting their files with BeeDrive at fast local transfer speeds, while ensuring complete data privacy and ownership.
“Every one of us is generating an unprecedented amount of data on various personal devices today. Better cameras and new photo or video formats, in particular, are eating up our phone or cloud storage space faster than ever,” said David Hu, product manager at Synology Inc.
“Internet upload speeds never caught up with the explosive growth in personal data, making it increasingly slower and more costly to store all our files in the cloud, especially if we just want to back up or archive old files elsewhere or exchange files between our devices,” Hu said. “This is why we want to offer a local, private alternative.”
“With BeeDrive, we hope to bring Synology’s expertise in backup technologies to a larger group of users — many of whom are perfectly computer-literate, but have neither the time nor the networking knowledge to host a server that runs 24/7 just for backup,” Hu added. “BeeDrive offers a no-hassle option even for the families and friends of current Synology users.”
Once plugged into a PC, users can select which folders they want to protect. BeeDrive automatically backs up all changes in those folders in real-time, providing a better recovery point objective (RPO) than scheduled hourly backups. Backup files are stored on BeeDrive in the same format as they are on the PC. In case of a computer failure, users can connect BeeDrive to another computer and access their files right away, without having to install any software and go through a time-consuming recovery process.
BeeDrive also backs up photos and videos from iOS and Android devices over Wi-Fi, so phones and tablets are protected at the same time. Just keep your BeeDrive-connected PC and mobile devices in the same network and scan a QR code, and see BeeDrive start backing up to free up space on your phone. Overcoming the bandwidth limits imposed by internet or cloud service providers, BeeDrive can be 11 times faster than backing up large files to the cloud from a PC, and six times faster than doing so from mobile devices.1
For field staff or other professionals who take many photos on their phones and need to use them on a PC when back at the office, the BeeDrop feature allows them to wirelessly send mobile-generated content from iOS and Android devices to BeeDrive. The files become immediately accessible on PC — no more uploading to and downloading from the cloud.
When switching between work and home computers, BeeDrive can help sync files on each computer as soon as it is plugged in, making sure that all files are always up-to-date on the computer you are working on while keeping a second copy on BeeDrive.
“Collecting files generated from all our devices is just the first step,” said Hu. “In the future, we hope to leverage the abundant computing resources of a computer to help users extract more value from the data itself, such as through auto-categorization. Our goal is always to bring modern technologies to Synology users without sacrificing their data privacy and ownership.”
BeeDrive is currently available in 1TB and 2TB capacity for Windows, iOS, and Android devices.

ZOTAC Unveils RTX 5060 Series With NVIDIA Blackwell

ZOTAC Technology has unveiled its latest GeForce RTX 5060 Series graphics cards, powered by NVIDIA’s next-generation Blackwell architecture. The lineup includes the RTX 5060 Ti in 16GB and 8GB variants, along with the standard RTX 5060, all featuring ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, advanced cooling solutions, and compact designs for broad system compatibility.
Designed for both gamers and creators, the new GPUs leverage AI acceleration through DLSS 4, delivering smoother frame rates and enhanced ray tracing. NVIDIA’s Studio tools and NIM microservices further expand creative possibilities, enabling AI-assisted workflows and faster content creation.
ZOTAC’s focus on small-form-factor (SFF) compatibility ensures these cards fit seamlessly into tight PC cases. The AMP model stands out with a factory overclock, dual BladeLink fans, and IceStorm 2.0 cooling for peak performance. Meanwhile, the Twin Edge (OC) offers a balanced blend of power and efficiency in a 2-slot design, and the SOLO variant caters to ultra-compact builds with its single-fan configuration.
Efficiency is a key highlight, with the entire series requiring only a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, reducing the need for PSU upgrades. The IceStorm 2.0 cooling system—featuring extended heat sinks, composite heat pipes, and optimized airflow—ensures stable thermals even under heavy loads. Additional refinements include FREEZE fan stop for silent operation during low-intensity tasks and a metal backplate for added durability.
For enthusiasts who prefer manual tuning, ZOTAC’s updated FireStorm utility provides intuitive control over clock speeds, voltage, and fan curves.
