Sans Digital, a leading provider of high performance storage subsystems, is announcing the company's first single bay USB 3.0 product, the TowerSTOR TS1U-B. Compared to HighSpeed USB 2.0, this brand new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 product provides 10x the data bandwidth (up to 5Gb/s). The USB 3.0’s giant performance gain relieves the data bandwidth bottleneck associated with USB 2.0 when the HDD/SDD data transfer exceeds the external USB cable bandwidth.
The Sans Digital TowerSTOR TS1U-B single bay enclosure supports 3.5” SATA hard drives with USB 3.0 interface. The fan-less design on the TS1U-B makes it an ideal storage solution for environment that requires total silence such as in an audio/video studio. Unlike typical hard drive enclosures, the specially designed heat stink is integrated to the chassis to provide cooling for the hard drives without additional cooling-fans.

Seagate today announced channel and OEM shipments of the Momentus® XT drive, the world’s fastest 2.5-inch laptop PC hard drive, combining SSD-like performance with the massive capacity and much lower cost of HDDs. The Momentus XT drive also features Adaptive Memory™ – a groundbreaking new technology from Seagate that learns and optimizes the drive’s performance to each user by moving frequently used information into the flash memory for faster access. The Momentus XT solid state hybrid drive boots up to 100 percent faster than traditional 5400RPM drives, the mainstream spin speed for laptop PCs, and sets new benchmarks for real-world system performance for laptops and gaming systems.
Today’s high-performance SSDs for mobile computing cost as much as 10 times more than hard disk drives of the same capacity, with the price of a 250GB SSD outstripping even the cost of many laptop PCs. As a result, most consumers and system builders are unwilling or unable to pay the high price for the greater speed and quiet operations of SSDs. Additionally, SSDs offer fewer capacity options than hard disk drives.
The Momentus XT drive is a best-of-both-worlds solution that combines a 7200RPM spin speed, 4GB of solid state memory and Seagate’s Adaptive Memory technology to deliver unprecedented hard drive performance. The unique Adaptive Memory technology works by identifying patterns in how often certain digital data is used, and then moving the most frequently used information to the embedded solid state memory for faster access – effectively tailoring hard drive performance to each user and their applications.
