Tranquil PC’s home server includes even kitchen sink
The Tranquil PC SQA-5H home server drops today. Aside from coming with two or three friendly IT guys, this unit seems to have it all. The SQA-5H server has five hot-swappable drive bays, a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom 330 processor and 1 GB of ram that can be upgraded to 2 GB. It also comes with a quick system backup for transferring your stored data onto an external HDD. Oh yeah, there’s also a "Mode" button for quick capacity checks and an optional SQA-EX slave unit for an extra five bays of swappable fun. Phew. It doesn’t do your taxes for you though. Nothing in this world is perfect.
Word is, pricing will come out later today on their website. I’m going to buy one hundred and build an igloo to sleep inside of. The gentle hum of swappable bays just can’t be beat.

Samsung’s 1.8 inch 160GB HDD Embarrasses 120GB Sibling

1.8 inch format, 160GB of storage. Really, that’s all I’d need to say about Samsung’s pre-announcement of its new SpinPoint 1.8 inch HDD. But, I’ll add that it remains at a rather slow 4200RPM, less-than 1W power use, and 15ms seek time. Nobody knows when or how much to get one of these, but it’s something to look forward to.
