Chris InglisThe new school year is less than two weeks away already! My wife is a teacher, and my 5-year-old is not quite as pumped about school as we would like, but technology is certainly playing a bigger role as early as year 1 when a set of headphones is on the stationary list. While my daughter doesn’t have to think about storage at her age, we do as parents, and my wife especially needs to ensure she has top quality storage, and portability between home and school for her ever important lesson plans. I have always been a fan of Western Digital storage devices, both in my PC and utilising external hard drives for my laptop and gamin consoles. Western Digital and SanDisk have some solutions for teachers, students and gamers alike that are worth a look, and affordable too.
