With 4 ~ 5 times more data per square inch, Toshiba puts the old hard disk drives back on the map for 2013. Still waiting for flying cars...

Ever since the introduction of the first hard drive in 1956, it was clear that there is a physical limit to how much data a hard drive can store within a certain surface area. Samsung announced new hard drives today that feature an aereal density that was questioned just four years ago and we are now approaching densities that are believed to be the limit for the current recording technology. Is it finally time to ditch traditional magnetic recording methods and transition to heat assisted recording?

The MB561US-4S multi-bay enclosure has been updated to a more advanced version called the MB561US-4S-1, which provides a New Fan Speed Control with Smart Cooling Technology.

The Fan Speed Control provides you with the ability to adjust the system cooling as you see fit.

Smart Cooling Technology is an automatic fan speed that changes according to the temperature of the drives and the enclosure. For intense applications where drives are running hotter than normal, the fan will increase its RPM to allow adequate cooling and airflow.

Introducing the Icy Dock MB990SP-B Dual 2.5" to 3.5" SATA and IDE Solid State and Hard Disk Drive Converter. This dual bay drive bracket allows you to use two SATA or IDE SSD and HDD in an internal 3.5" drive bay in most standard cases. Since most cases are not set up to use 2.5" form factor, the MB990SP-B allows you to make a huge upgrade to your system with very little effort.

The bracket will fit most types of cases. Out of the box it can be used in both tool-less and standard cases.
