>>Please post a link to where it references the Orb as an OEM for the new powerbooks.<< Apple is listed as a "Strategic Partner" with Castlewood at the Castlewood Home Page: www.castlewood.com The following link is a news story about Castlewood at the recent highly successful MacWorld Convention: maccentral.com Attendees swarm to Castlewood's Orb Drive At every Macworld Expo, there are certain products that attendees flock to see, and order as soon as they're shipping. This show, one of the products with that distinction is the 2.2 gigabyte Orb Drive from Castlewood. The new removable drive, which is priced at under $200 and uses disks that cost under $30, is offering users more inexpensive and more stylish alternative to the now defunct SyJet drives or still successful Iomega Jaz drives. The new Orb drives also have support for Apple's two growing I/O standards, Firewire (coming soon) and USB. Speed is another one of the drives benefits, as it has a sustained data transfer rate of 12.2 megabytes per second. Many attendees asked Castlewood if they could purchase the drive on-site, as one show-goer told MacCentral "I told them I'd write out a check right then and there. It's $30 a disk, which makes me want to trash my Jaz drive." On the floor, Castlewood has the Orb running inside of Apple's new Power Mac G3 systems that were introduced on Tuesday during Jobs' keynote. Several colors are available, some matching the blue styling of Apple's new G3s.
