>>>> actually replacing the HARD DRIVE in a computer with an ORB Drive...this way, you can have hard drive performance (or even better) and be able to swap out drives with ease. You can have different bootable OS's on each ORB disk..Windows2000 on one, Linux on another, etc. <<<<<<
That's going to be hot seller in college campuses where latest and newest are sold each year, and VERY AFFORDABLE! Two OS's in one PC? That's SUPER HOT!!!<<
What makes it such a brilliant move by Syed is the fact that ORB drive sell for only $199 RETAIL...remember, this includes 1 ORB disk. And OEM cost is likely much lower than this. Syed has stated that he expects this 2.2 Gig version of ORB to fall to only $99 before long! But more importantly, additional 2.2 Gig ORB disks are only $29 apiece RETAIL. Watch as the disks come in this next week or so, you'll see regular pricing even lower than this. Orb makes it very cheap and effortless to swap out different bootable OS's-- an important feature for College Students who will study in school and eventually graduate into a world of all the different flavors of Linux, BeOS, DOS, Windoze, NT, Mac (Rhapsody), etc. etc. etc.
...and according to the Orb specs and Orb Manuals available at www.castlewood.com, Orb disks do not need special software to format. You can use whatever OS you have to format an Orb disk NATIVE. The included Orb Tools simple make the process faster, according to Castlewood.
Also, according to the ORB Owner's Manual, you can even install the EIDE ORB inside a Mac G3. |
