We have developed a realtime embedded data acquisition system based on
A/D, FPGA, SATA controller, SATA HDD, microcontroller and Ethernet.
The purpose of the system is to record seismic data from the sensors,

I have been wondering if there is an storge device that has the read
access speed and the convenience of an HD with the safety of DVDR

to use the 300 as a data drive but when I reconnect it, Windows XP

Hi. I am new to RAID, but am getting started. I have a Intel RAID card
in a server I bought off Craigslist. I set up a new RAID 1 array with

lose magnetism and hence that byte of information?
After how long would that happen?
