I would just like to share a couple of really exciting products. First off… Sony has done it again by releasing DVD burners that support 4 different formats. The internal DRU-500A and the external DRX-500UL support the DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD-R formats. Now you don’t have to decide which format you want to use, because you can use them both!

Maxtor has come out with some 15k rpm SCSI hard drives. We are talking average seek times as fast as 3.2 milliseconds, and up to 75 MB per second sustained data rates. Yea… I wish my hard drive did that. The line of hard drives is called the Atlas 15k, and they use Maxtor’s U320 SCSI interface.
