The Infinite Disk


The Stardom ST3620-B2 1.5TB Hard Disk Caddy System. We’re not sure what’s more unbelievable. That we’re talking 1.5 terrabytes of storage sitting on your desk, or the fact that it’s all held on removable caddies, which means that you’ve basically got infinite storage next to your elbow. Priced at a mainframe bustin’ £649.99. Good luck backing it up though, eh?
The ST3620-B2 is set up in a JBOD mode. JBOD stands for ‘Just a bunch of disks’, which allows the two disks to be accessed via one USB2.0 lead. The internal hard drives we supply are SATA drives, ensuring that data transfer is blisteringly fast. Because the hard drive in the ST3620 are in removable caddies, if you run out of disk space, you can replace the hard drives with more drives further down the line. In effect then, you can have a limitless storage capacity.
You just keep adding hard drives when you need more space.
