Winchester Systems Announces SATA Systems with 750 GB Drives
Supports up to 18 TB of Storage in a Single RAID Enclosure

Burlington, MA. May 19, 2006 - Winchester Systems Inc., a leading data storage solutions company, today introduced Seagate Technology's industry leading capacity 750 GB disk drives in its entire FlashDisk line of Serial ATA (SATA) disk arrays.

All of the company's FlashDisk SATA arrays now incorporate the Barracuda 750 GB disk drives built with the latest perpendicular recording technology resulting in new levels of data density, capacity and reliability. Various FlashDisk models include 12, 16 or 24 drives to provide capacities of 9 TB, 12 TB or 18 TB in a single enclosure. The company's expandable SATA arrays support up to 64 drives for a total capacity of 48 TB.

"With new higher density drives being used to create larger RAID arrays, the risk of data loss increases dramatically. However, when combined with RAID 6 data protection, the risk of data loss during rebuild is minimal," according to Joel Leider, the company's Chief Executive Officer. "These systems offer the highest density, lowest cost and superior reliability for all storage intensive applications including medical imaging, video and audio editing, web services, remote data backup, snapshot images, local mirroring, virtual tape libraries, security and surveillance, data acquisition, satellite images, pre-press and more," he added.

Included with every FlashDisk data storage solution is the FlashConsole appliance, providing complete centralized management using any browser-based workstation on the LAN. FlashAlert, a 24-hour "call-home" remote monitoring and alert service is also included for one year.

Pricing and Availability: Products are available within 3 weeks, with pricing starting at under $10,000.
