BITMICRO showed off a 155GB Ultra 320 SCSI solid state hard drive at a military show here in London.

The E-Disk 3S320 will operate at temperatures between -60° Celsius to over 95° Celsius, said the company.

The 3.5-inch drive comes with either a half pitch DB68 or a SCA-2 ANSI compliant connector, and has access times of 42 microsecond, read-write rate of 44MB/s maximum and burst RW rate of 320MB/sec maximum.

Operating systems supported include Linux, Solaris, Windows, MacOS, LynxOS, AIX, FreeBSD, HP/UX. IRIX, NetBSD, OS/2, QNX, VxWorks, Unixware, Solaris X86 and Tru64.

The military class drive is suitable for scientific missions and reconnaissance flights, and no doubt it carries a hefty price tag. But it does show the shape of things to come, if Samsung and others have their way. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
