Now that Microsoft's
Windows Home Server and
Leopard's Time Machine have legs, you'd best get to thinking about your digital storage AND backup requirements. Not up to it? No worries, Intel's here to offload that processing with their Entry Storage System SS4200x. Their WHS friendly box will ship in two flavors: the hardware-only SS4200-EHW and SS4200-E with integrated software from EMC. The latter can be dropped onto your network as
Network Attached Storage with support for 11 languages including those spoken my Macs and PCs. Besides being stuffed with all the requisite Intel chipsets (including a Celeron 400 class proc with DDR2 memory), the SS's feature up to 4x internal disks for "several terabytes of capacity." Exactly, Intel? Add a few more through the unit's eSATA port for something between oodles and mucho capacity. Available in December starting at $500.
Update: Now that we have a picture, it's pretty clear who
Fujitsu-Siemens and
Velocity Micro have been sleeping with, eh?

it looks like an ugly, old suitcase.

I remember back in the day when we used to measure storage size in bytes, but I think that oodles and mucho are a much more appropriate terms.

I like the design. Presumably this thing will do some form of redundancy for failure-protection?

Wonder how they keep it cool though.
