SlashGear JapanHonestly, the things they make to plug into a USB port these days. It used to be that if you wanted enterprise-level security then, well, you’d probably need to be an enterprise with the budget to go with it; otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford the chunky server that would scan all incoming and outgoing traffic from your network. Now Yoggie are offering what they’re calling a Linux security computer on a USB stick, promising internet blocking and traffic monitoring without load on the host computer.
If you’re looking for a desktop replacement and fancy a notebook then you might want to cast your beady eyes over Targa Computers’ Raptor-60, which they’re calling the “first of its kind” to support RAID 5 (in JBOD, RAID 0, 1 or 5 forms). That for a start is going to make this something of a weighty beast, and when you add in a 17-inch WSXGA+ screen driven by a dual NVIDIA GeForce 7950 you realise that this isn’t something you’ll be tucking under your arm and swanning off to the park with.
