Storage 
AnandTech on NAS
Posted by: Hooz on: 12/06/2006 05:05 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
My buddies over at AnandTech have posted an interesting article that details the performance of seven different SMB/SOHO NAS devices.
If you're looking for cost effective, shared storage for your home or business, you owe it to yourself to check out this article.
| Network attached storage (NAS) is a hot market these days, not only for the SMB (Small to Medium Business) market, but also for the home user. As more and more computers appear in our homes, the need for shared storage is becoming a lot more prevalent than in the past. Also, with drive sizes approaching a terabyte, backing up and storing important files requires more than the typical single drive enclosures. The million dollar question, however, is which device do you buy? |
Momentus 5400 FDE.2 Hard Drive

As a pretty serious laptop user, I've often wondered what would become of my (personal) data should my laptop ever be lost or, dare I say, stolen. Sure, my machine is password protected, but as any decent system administrator can tell you, 5 minutes and access to a particular bootable CD is all you need to circumvent normal password protection.
Evidently Seagate has been thinking the same thing as they have introduced (PDF) the Momentus 5400 FDE.2 hard drive. The Momentus is a nifty 2.5" ATA/SATA hard drive with built-in (hardware-based) AES encryption. A simple user specified password is all that is needed to view and access the drive's encrypted contents. No password, no data. Simple. Effective.

LinuxHardware.org: Seagate's Momentus 2.5" Hard Drives

In January of this year, Seagate released the first consumer hard drive to use a new magnetic recording technique known as perpendicular recording. This drive came in the form of a 5400 RPM notebook drive, the Momentus 5400.3. So what is perpendicular recording and what can we expect out of these new hard drives? We've got your answers here as well as a look at the full line of Seagate's Momentus line of notebook hard drives. Not only will we be benchmarking these drives using their native IDE interface, but we'll also be placing these drives in an external USB enclosure to test their performance as external hard drives. Does disk speed really makes a difference when placing the drive in an external enclosure? We're going to find out.
