Constellation 3 TB in 7200 rpm Seagate

Yesterday, Seagate announced SSDs and hard drives 2.5-inch Savvio for professionals. But there are also listings for lovers of storage, with the Constellation ES.2. This new range offers a capacity of 3 TB hard drives in 3.5 inch. There are four versions of the Constellation ES.2: SATA 6 Gbit / s with or without hardware encryption and SAS 6 Gbit / s with or without encryption.

Hard drives have a MTBF of 1.2 million hours, a 64 MB cache and spin at 7200 rpm. The maximum flow rate announced is 155 MB / s, slightly less than the Savvio 10K.5 announced at the same time. Consumption is obviously high, 3.5 inches requires: 7.4 W and 11.3 W in idle operation. Seagate is the servers that need large storage space while maintaining good performance, Savvio range is limited in capacity.

The characteristics of AMD Llano

Our colleagues from Xbit Labs continue to distill information about future AMD processors in dribs and drabs. Their latest leak concerning Llano Fusion processors, which will constitute the core of the AMD in the coming months. The data table below is particularly comprehensive. AMD will launch a total of 11 Llano.

The launch would take place around July 20 with only 5 models (4 and 1 quad core dual core), a dual core would follow in the third quarter, then the range will grow in the fourth quarter. All these processors have an integrated GPU, more or less powerful. AMD architecture decline in Northern Islands 32 nm and integrate with the Radeon HD 6550/6530/6410/6370 Llano somewhat different from what we know today.

A Wi-Fi adapter N is to be forgotten

D-Link has just introduced its first Wi-Fi adapter N (150 Mbps) at Pico USB DWA-121. Reserved for the moment in North American market with a European release date still unclear, this adapter has the great advantage of offering Wi-Fi n old computers with no such module. It is much more convenient than the opening of its case for inserting a PCI or PCI-Express and much more aesthetic than larger dongles protruding antennas that are marketed today.
