[Press Release] I-O DATA announced "LANDISK Tera" LAN terabyte hard disk (Japanese and Korean Market)

JAPAN, August 23, 2006 - I-O Data Device, Inc. (I-O Data below) announced LANDISK Tera, HDL-GT Series, new LAN terabyte hard disk featuring Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) support and RAID 0/0+1/5 compatibility both in Japan and Korea. Shipping for the Japanese market is scheduled to begin at the end of September. The product lineup features two different capacity models: 1TB (terabyte) and 2TB(*1), and the target shipping volume is forecast at 3,000 units per month.

This product is a large-capacity LAN-connectable hard disk that incorporates four removable hard disks. It features high-speed Gigabit Ethernet support (with a theoretical data transfer rate of 1,000 Mbps) and uses Serial ATA drives for enabling high-speed file sharing and network backups. The cartridge-type hard disks use Relational HD(*2) for flexible building of four different types of RAID configurations. Hot-swapping support is also provided for allowing cartridge changes while the power is still on. This enables to replace hard disks without stopping the system, such as during disk failure.
