The Insane Hardware Driving the World's Biggest LED Billboard
In a dusty supply closet at 1 Times Square, a computer terminal hooked up to hordes of ethernet servers, RAID arrays and monitors humbly runs the largest LED sign in the world. The sign, a 3-sided, 17,000-square-foot Goliath, debuted last night at the opening of a Walgreens in New York City. Today, I got to see what makes it tick. More » -

Intel's Superfast SSDs Make For Even Speedier RAID 0 Rig
Intel's solid state drives are real fast—$600 for 80GB kind of fast. It should come as no surprise, then, that they make a mighty quick RAID 0 setup, which does not provide data redundancy but does give twice the data throughput. Hot Hardware's numbers were a blazing 396MB/s read and 130MB/s write times (the fastest they've ever tested), making this quite a speedy 160GB volume. Head over to Hot Hardware for more numbers.

SimpleTech Duo Pro: 4 Interfaces, 3 Terabytes, 2 Drives, 1 Happy Nerd
There are plenty of dual-hard-drive outboard storage systems on the market, but SimpleTech's Duo Pro struck me as particularly brimming with awesomeness. It's not a NAS—it's totally local—but you have a choice of USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and 800, and eSATA, which clocks a max transfer speed of 3Gb per second. (That's gigabits, not gigabytes.) You can naturally do RAID 0 or 1, and though the current options are a 1TB total for $280, a 1.5TB total for $420 and a 2TB version for $550, you will be able to choose a 3TB config when the winter winds start to blow. Have a look at the back of this in the photo below the jump. [SimpleTech] More » -

WD MyBook Mirror Edition: Nothing Says "Safe" Like a Personal 2TB RAID Drive
WD just launched a drive that looks awfully familiar: Because the WD MyBook Mirror Edition houses two 3.5" GreenPower drives—in this case either 500GB or 1TB each—it uses the same case as the networked MyBook World Edition. But this one is just for you, and you alone. The Mirror, which costs $550 for 2TB version and $290 for a single TB, has only a USB 2.0 jack on the back. It comes Windows-formatted (though there's also one for Macs). As its name suggests, it comes RAID 1 (mirror) configured, but it can be set for striping instead, if that's how your geek flag flies.

Buffalo's Petite LinkStation Mini NAS Has 1TB Storage, a DLNA Server
Fitting a 1TB into a box measuring 5.31 x 3.22 x 1.57 inches isn't all that easy (most NAS boxes we've seen would crush a squirrel easily) but Buffalo seems to have not only accomplished this but shoved in a whole bunch of other features as well. The Mini's got a Gigabit Ethernet port, support for RAID 0 and 1, Active Directory Support, UPS support (to shut down in case of power failure), and best of all, runs an on-board TwonkyVision DLNA server.

Xserve RAID Is Dead, Apple Promises New Solution
In a stealth move after announcing their new Xsan 2 software, Apple has killed their Xserve RAID as if it were a vulgar HD DVD player. After years of promoting their solution as the best in its class for pro environments, Apple's Xserve RAID page has been eliminated completely and now redirects to a new page which presents the Promise's Vtrak E-Class RAID subsystem. Apple gave us an explanation about why Xserve RAID has been canceled and what to expect from now on: More »

Norazza's new PocketRAID drives may look tiny, but don't say that to their faces, because they store anywhere from 120GB to a whopping 320GB in a measly 5" x 3" x 1.5" frame. Support for eSATA and USB 2.0 ensures that the data is good to go wherever you are. Shipping now, these puppies will set you back $439 to $929, so start saving. [Norazza] -

The Century PS3 Hard Drive: 750GB RAID Setup
Should you max out the 20GB or 60GB of your PS3 you might want to make plans to visit the Akihabara district of Tokyo. There you'll find the Century external hard drive, complete with 750GB of storage space for your overpriced video game console. (Or you could just swap in a regular 160GB hard drive, I suppose.) The Century can be set up as either RAID 0 or RAID 1, with the PS3 recognizing 698GB at any one time. This looks like just enough space to dump more than a handful of Blu-ray movies. Not that we advocate that, mind you. More » -

A Terabyte of Storage in a Bright Yellow Box
Surely if given a 1-terabyte server, you would find some stuff to fill it up with. Having trouble quantifying just how much one terabyte is? Well, it's approximately 500,000 digital photos; 250,000 MP3s; 125 DVD movies; or 1 million documents. The Yellow Machine Terabyte Storage Appliance is ready and waiting for you to fill it up with all the digital media you've acquired over the years. Built upon a RAID 5 backbone, the Yellow Machine combines what the company calls FailSafe Storage with a form factor that won't fill up your room à la the Eniac, a coup for a consumer device. Of course, the appliance is networkable, allowing you to put it in one room while pumping all of that delicious content to the big screen downstairs. The hard drives are constantly monitored for errors and are fixed accordingly before they become a critical issue. The Yellow Machine, which comes in 1-TB, 1.6-TB and a 2-TB models, costs $999, $1999, $2749, respectively.
