[mdlug] Dynamic storage system.

[Michael ORourke]

According to Jim Shaw (marketing person doing the demo), he described it as 
the worlds first "storage robot".  Where is the mechanical arm that changes 
the drives for you?  Doesn't seem to have any "robotic" features that I 
could see.  Maybe a better description would be, "the most user-friendly 
storage device" or "most intelligent storage device".  Looks like the price 
reflects that fact too.  Pretty much a no-brainer as far as storage arrays 
go.  Very cool.
