Plextor Unveils 1TB StorX NAS Drives

Plextor has re-engineered the unit and interface to deliver the next generation of NAS drives. The two new models – Plextor StorX PX-NAS500L /PX-NAS1000L, offering 500GB and 1TB capacity, respectively – are designed for users moving into a NAS solution for the first time, as well as competent small office business users.

Users with escalating media collections and data can connect it to their separate wireless media streamer/router using the Gigabit LAN port and watch movies, listen to music or share data wherever they choose. In the event of users finding they are starting to run out of space again, they can simply add another hard drive to the Plextor StorX unit via USB to extend the storage capacity.

In addition to offering significant extra storage, the Plextor StorX devices come equipped with useful features. The Plextor StorX includes: a print server that can share a printer over the network when connected to it via USB; a one-touch USB back-up button. Additionally, the NAS, which has the ability to operate over GigaLAN networks (10/100/1000 Mbps), is both secure and flexible: it includes a high security feature so that the administrator can limit access to certain folders; and it can be configured as a dedicated FTP server.

The Plextor StorX is designed for extreme liability and continued use 24 hours, 7 days a week. The system will quietly go into sleep mode when not accessed for a period of time.

The Plextor StorX PX-NAS500L and PX-NAS1000L will both be available from early June 2008 from the network of Plextor dealers. Novelties are covered by Plextor's Fast Warranty Service (2-year warranty in the EU, Norway and Switzerland; 1 year in other countries).

AMD Server Workstation Roadmap Updated

Randy Allen, corporate vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation, AMD provided updates to AMD's server workstation processor roadmap.

• "Shanghai" on track to begin production in 2H08. Development of AMD's first 45nm server processor, codenamed "Shanghai," is on schedule to begin production in the second half of 2008 and will now feature coherent HyperTransport 3.0 for processor-to-processor communication. In addition to increasing the shared Level-3 cache from 2 MB to 6 MB, "Shanghai" will include core and instruction-per-clock (IPC) enhancements.
• "Istanbul" to bring 6-core processing within current socket in 2H09. New to the AMD server roadmap, "Istanbul" is will be a 6-core server processor that will fit within the current Socket Fl (1207), which will enable OEMs to preserve platform investments and increase system performance-per-watt. "Istanbul" is planned to be available for 2P and above configurations, and leverage AMD's industry-leading Direct Connect Architecture, which alleviates the system communication bottlenecks in other processors.
• The third-generation AMD Opteron processor Socket G34 platform is planned for 1H10. In 2010, AMD expects to introduce its third-generation AMD Opteron processor Socket G34 platform. The Socket G34 platform is planned to offer features such as DDR3 memory capabilities and the AMD RD890 chipset for non-coherent HyperTransport 3.0, along with an additional HT link.
• New six- and twelve-core AMD Opteron processors for Socket G34 planned for 1H10. A six-core processor, codenamed "Sao Paolo," is planned to incorporate DDR3 memory and an additional HyperTransport 3.0 link as well as a 6-core design. "Magny Cours," a 12-core processor will also leverage these features.
