Press release, July 10; Eric Mah, DIGITIMES Asia

Netgear announced the worldwide availability of its Storage Central Turbo (SC101T) networked storage device that it first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January.

The Storage Central Turbo supports up to two 3.5-inch SATA disk drives of any capacity (not included). The device's Gigabit Ethernet interface enables faster file transfers than previously available for homes and small businesses, according to company.

Utilizing Zetera's Z-SAN technology, the Storage Central Turbo delivers a blend of enterprise-quality scalability and performance and also comes equipped with disk mirroring to help protect valuable data from being lost, said Netgear. Backup and synchronization software from SmartSync protects data automatically by making real-time copies of data on two separate hard drives. New data disk volumes can be configured as public or private and password protected, ensuring maximum security for sensitive files, noted Netgear.

Backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support, the Storage Central Turbo is available now via leading retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce sites and value-added resellers, at a suggested retail price of US$199.
