Iomega StorCenter PX Series Preview

May 4, 2011 By Stephen 1 Comment

Iomega today announced a new line of small desktop and rackmount storage devices. The PX Series addresses many of the limitations of the IX line, bringing high-performance CPUs, SSD, “bring your own drive” options, and “personal cloud” data protection.

Concerning HDS

April 6, 2011 By Stephen 6 Comments

I've been following the progress of Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) for well over a decade.

So it was only a matter of time until the magical half-terabyte mark would be reached, yielding 1 TB in a 2-platter drive. Now Seagate has … [Read more...] about Seagate Breaks the Areal Density Limit With 1 TB 2 Platter 2.5″ Drive

Stephen’s HP Product Line Decoder Ring

September 29, 2010 By Stephen 7 Comments

HP has always been an alphabet soup company, assigning just about every item in their bewildering array of products a unique product number. Like Mercedes-Benz cars, even the product names are a mix of letters and numbers that can be off-putting to browsers. Now that they have grown to supersize proportions through internal expansion and acquisition, just about everyone outside … [Read more...] about Stephen’s HP Product Line Decoder Ring
