Storage

Engineers and scientists from the University of Texas at Austin, led by Rod Ruoff, a mechanical engineering professor and physical chemist, have created a one-atom thick layer of carbon, called “graphene”, and they put it to use in electrical storage systems, such as ultracapacitors, a viable way to clean and efficient energy storage.

Nexsan has taken its AutoMAID technology - which throttles back the power usage of hard drives that are not currently being accessed - and applied it to a SAS array, claiming to be the first supplier with an energy-efficient SAS storage system.
