disk storage

IBM Developerworks: "Once a faraway problem, an important barrier in disk storage is fast becoming a reality: the venerable master boot record (MBR) partitioning scheme can't fully handle disks larger than 2TB."

LinuxDevices: "Data Ltd announced a ruggedized UMPC (ultra-mobile PC) claimed to survive multiple four-foot drops onto concrete.

The Linux-compatible "DLI 8400" uses a 1.6GHz Atom processor, has hard disk or SSD (solid state disk) storage, and operates for nine hours via two hot-swappable batteries, the company says."
