One important advantage is that the display is dead-zone-free. The company also showcased a display capable of producing both 2D and 3D content simultaneously. It's interesting that the screen can be rotated from landscape to portrait and the image remains stereoscopic. On a side note, a similar solution was unveiled yesterday by Toshiba: dynabook Qosmio T851/D8CR, its first glasses-free 3D notebook able to display 3D and 2D content at the same time on one screen.

The router uses a Gigabit Ethernet port to connect to wired networks. It also provides direct VPN access with the use of USB keys and can transform a regular USB 2.0 hard drive into a network-attached storage solution.  The novelty is sized 35 x 158 x 165 mm. WZR-HP-G450H will go on sale in Japan in June for about $200.

This process technology has already been applied to 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit chips that are the world's smallest and offer the highest density on a single chip — 8GB. Toshiba will also add 3-bit-per-cell products fabricated with the 19-nm process technology to its product lineup. Samples of 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit chips will be available later this month with mass production scheduled for the third quarter of the year. Application of the 19-nm process technology further shrinks chips, allowing Toshiba to assemble sixteen 64-gigabit NAND flash memory chips in one package and deliver 128GB devices for application in smartphones and tablet PCs. The 19-nm process products are also equipped with Toggle DDR2.0, which enhances data transfer speed.

It delivers 110.73 MB/s reading and 105.48MB/s writing speeds on average in RAID 5 configurations in Windows environments.  The DS411+II consumes 60W in operation and 19.8W in hibernation. Its multiple scheduled power on/off, wake on LAN/WAN, and hard drive hibernation features further reduce energy expenses and extend the hard drives' life cycles.  The 4-bay DS411+II supports 3TB hard drives, accommodating a maximum of 12TB and providing a large capacity for data storage. Running on a 1.8GHz dual-core processor and 1GB DDR2 RAM, the DS411+II is equipped with 1 Gigabit LAN port, 2 USB 2.0 ports and 1 eSATA port.
