Synology® Inc. today launched the new 2.5" 4-bay Disk Station DS409slim, a highly anticipated addition to the 09 series product line that brings lower power consumption, virtually quiet operations and an extremely small footprint both physically and financially while providing the same reliable data sharing and backup solution that Synology is well known for.

The DS409slim is equipped with a 1.2 GHz CPU, 128MB DDRII RAM, one Gigabit LAN port, two USB2.0 ports and one eSATA port. The snap-in disk tray requires minimal effort to install and replace disks. Supporting up to 2 TB with the combination of four 2.5" SATA or SSD hard drives of 500GB which is the largest capacity on the market, it remains stylish and compact (120 x 105 x 142 mm).

The adoption of 2.5" hard drives helps to increase shock tolerance and MTBF and reduce power consumption. The DS409slim consumes only 19 watts under normal operation with four hard drives installed. The smart fan design keeps the DS409slim's fan off under normal operations and brings quiet operation.

Yoggie Security Systems™ today announced the launch of the Yoggie Data Keeper™ line of secure USB Flash Drives (UFD).  With its host of unique and high end security features such as a built-in anti-virus scanner, online firmware updates and multiple password capability, the Yoggie Data Keeper protects users from a host of cyber threats when transferring data to and from a computer that may not be secure.

Until now, portable storage devices have often acted as a back door for virus and malware transfer, however, the Data Keeper Pro’s built-in Anti-Virus software automatically scans files copied in/out of the Data Keeper Pro in real-time. Users are protected without having to instruct their host computer’s security suite to scan files prior to transfer.  In addition, the virus signature database is automatically updated without slowing the host laptop or PC and an on-demand scan feature allows users to scan and clean any drive or folder on the host computer.
