HARD DRIVE MAKER Western Digital said it has started shipping 500GB Serial ATA RAID drives, aimed at the enterprise market.

The WD RE2 RAID edition units have a 3Gb/s transfer rate and include 16MB cache - aimed at NAS (network attached storage), and at DAS (direct attached storage). The drives have a rating of 1.2 million hours before failure, said WD. [Is that 120 years? Ed.]

They've started shipping in volume. Pricing available from your WD distributor or dealer. 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?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
