MOORESTOWN, N.J., Jan. 5 /-- Formation, Inc. announced today a 50% increase in storage capacity for its ToughDisk(TM) TD7200 Rugged Hard Drive to keep up with industry demand for low-cost data storage in extreme environments. The units now offer 240GBs of storage capacity, up from 160GBs.
Formation's TD7200 is a low-cost alternative to solid state data storage built specifically for extreme environments. The system has been favored by many military and commercial organizations for its ability to perform reliably in temperature, shock, vibration, humidity and dust conditions that would destroy conventional hard disks. The hard drives are hot-swappable, self- contained rugged COTS mass memory units at less than 10% the cost of solid- state storage.
"We live in an increasingly digital world with a growing demand for reliable rugged data storage. This applies, in particular, for defense applications that rely on data-intensive surveillance systems and for many commercial applications involving the storage of video information," said R. Nim Evatt, Formation CEO and President. "The increased capacity of the TD7200 will support these applications where performance is critical."
Formation will be exhibiting its ToughDisk and Advanced Integrated Recorder products in Booth 405 at West 2006 at the San Diego Convention Center, January 10-12. For information visit http://www.west2006.org/.
