HP introduces a sub-$600 Data Vault
At noon today, HP released the latest device in the Data Vault series, the HP StorageWorks x310 Data Vault.
Priced at $540 in a 1 terabyte configuration, this new Data Vault, coming in hot on the heels of that best-of-breed (Microsoft) Windows Home Server-based NAS, the award-winning HP StorageWorks x510 Data Vault, the x310 represents a new price point in business-class NAS devices without sacrificing reliability and expandability.
The x310 allows users the ability to expand up to 7 TB internally, and up to 15 TB when hooked up to external drives using the built in eSATA drives, and the four (4) USB ports. For those people who haven’t seen the light and use Apple Mac systems, this device allows you to utilize it to provide storage for those Macs as well.
We have had a StorageWorks x310 Data Vault in our hands for the past week, and we shall be bringing you details of what we are doing with it as we go along.
