FlashDisk Customer Profile As Told By Mapquest.com “The speed, reliability, and stability of Winchester Systems' FlashDisk RAID storage system have made it the most important piece of equipment in our production lab. We have 30 users on high-end PowerMac computers working on complex Adobe Illustrator and large Adobe Photoshop files. These users are opening and saving directly from the FlashDisk. In a business where deadlines count, we work our server and RAID storage system very hard and need to rely greatly on its stability. Our FlashDisks have performed flawlessly in both of these areas for the past three years. Knowing that I can expand the FlashDisk to accommodate future storage growth allows me to sleep at night. My investment in Winchester Systems' FlashDisk will serve our department's need for years to come. I am fond of the FlashDisk for its multiple platform compatibility, specifically because of its plug-and-play nature for the PowerMac platform. It is a pleasure to purchase such a high-speed piece of equipment, like the FlashDisk, that offers complete compatibility with my Macs, and is so easy to set up and to put into production. Since purchasing our original FlashDisk, we encountered only one drive failure. I hot swapped the spare disk drive without any downtime and without any users knowing there was even a problem. We wouldn't want to be without our FlashDisks. In fact, we now have three of them and plan to order more of them.”
