The testing was actually quite simple – I synchronized a folder containing 2.5GB worth of files between my internal laptop hard drive (source) and an external 160GB Hitachi hard drive (destination or target). That said, testing was carried out on an Acer Aspire 5315 with an Intel T7500 2.2GHz processor (4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB), 2GB DDR2 RAM, and a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar Hard drive. In other words, we didn’t exactly follow the scientific method. With local syncing, files are copied from folder to folder or from drive to drive in order to keep the content of a pair(s) of folders consistent.įor the purposes of this review, tests were carried out to give an idea of the competency of the software but please note that the testing carried out was not carried out under strict scientific conditions and should not be taken as an absolute indication of a piece of software’s worth. If you want the ability to sync files across multiple computers or devices, check out dotTech’s review of best free cloud storage services. BEFORE WE BEGINĪs already mentioned, this article focuses on the ability to sync files locally, from drive to drive, partition or partition, or folder to folder (including network shares). Check out more articles on the best free Windows programs by clicking here. This review is part of our Best Free Windows Software section. This article looks at the best free (local) file and folder sync software for Windows. And for that reason is why file and folder sync software exist, to provide users with the ability to sync files and folders locally as opposed to across computers and devices. However, sometimes there is a need to sync files and folders locally on the same computer: from drive to drive, partition to partition, folder to folder, or even from network share to network share. Even at full price.Here on dotTech we have already covered best free cloud storage services, services that can be used not only to backup and remotely access or share files but also for the purposes of syncing files and folders across multiple computers and devices. It’s a masterpiece in durability and it’s actually very comfortable. In my opinion, the brand is a premium one at the level of Arctèryx and similar. I have several items from Norrona and know what they stand for. You can get it’s big brother (Recon Pack) at $700, but I am told that this one is better suited to civilian use (better comfort). It costs around $620, but I got it on sale at $325. The pack’s priced at a premium level, and it should be. If you don’t need 120 liters on your trip, just detach the pockets and you’ll have a slimmer pack. But the two side pockets are detachable and can be put together as a daypack at 30 liters. Pretty awesome.ġ20 liters! Huge in other words. The frame adjusts as you chose your height (see pictures). The weight is eavenly distribuated from the top to the hips. The pack is incredibly comfortable to wear with a heavy load. The hip belt also adjusts to the sides when you tilt over at one side. Double and reinforced stitching everywhere. From the webbing to stiches and everything else. The quality of this pack is just something I’ve never seen on packs before. It’s silly to pack 20 pounds into a 8-10 pounds backpack, making the pack’s weight a third a of the complete weight.īut for 40 to 70 lbs, the weight of the pack doesn’t matter that much, and you do get something in return for the relatively high weight (more in the next section). With these numbers, these packs are wasted on small loadings. The Recon pack has a cool slogan by Norrona, by the way: “The King of Backpacks’ developed by Special Forces. Norrona has another pack in the same league called Norrona Recon Synkroflex Pack (125 L), which weighs even more, at 4,5 kg or 10 pounds. Military use is usually a good sign of durability, but not always a sign of comfort. The pack is actually used by the Norwegian Special Forces and forces in other NATO countries. That’s when we started researching big packs and stumbled over the Para Ranger.Īs far as I know, this pack is the result of years of collaboration between Norrona and the Norwegian armed forces. And we have a 65 liter pack from Bergans of Norway already but wanted a bigger pack for longer hikes, or just to bring more stuff □ I usually bring my grilfriend and dog on these trips. So, when going backpacking over several days, I’m not excactly the lighets backpacker.
