Sony Computer Entertainment America announced on Tuesday morning that it would be selling updated versions of its PlayStation 3 console with more harddisk drive space at 160GB and 320GB, respectively.
It also makes it easier to find the files that have been created, accessed and modified during an attack, and it is able to reconstruct deleted files from raw data found in various hidden parts of a computer's harddisk, such as unallocated space and file slack.
To achieve equal performance on a write IOPS basis utilizing harddisk drives would require over 400 drives, 36U of rack space and consume more than 300 times the power.
