Duxbury Networking has announced the arrival of the Netgear SC101T - Storage Central Turbo device. A network storage platform designed to accommodate two serial ATA hard drives of any size, the SC101T aims to provide fast network-attached storage, suitable for home and SME use.

The demand for storage is greater than ever, says Graham Duxbury, MD of Duxbury Networking. SMEs need competent storage solutions due to compliance and other factors, while home users have increasingly large collections of digital media, be it music, pictures or video, which needs to be safely stored and occupies large amounts of physical drive space.
 
The SC101T meets this demand - and then some, he adds. Housing two drives allows for large amounts of storage space and being network-attached means that storage is available for all computers and users on the home or business network, he claims.
 
This is the next generation of Netgears Storage Area Network (SAN) product line, says Duxbury.

The SC101T incorporates Zeteras Z-SAN Storage-over-IP technology designed for reliable and secure network data transfers. The device also supports gigabit Ethernet speeds for the fastest possible transfer rates, Duxbury adds.
 
The SC101T is also equipped with disk mirroring to help prevent data from being lost, explains Duxbury. When using this technology, data is protected even if one of the hard drives in the device should fail.
