Manufacturer's product description
The FiberCAT SX80 is the perfect system for the data center. It offers up to 42TB of storage capacity with 1-5 enclosures with up to 12 disks each (SATA-II or SAS). The FiberCAT SX80 offers enterprise class reliability as well as snapshot functionality. All this comes at a very affordable price. All critical components (RAID controllers, fans, power supplies, disks) are redundant and can be swapped during operations. FiberCap technology protects the RAID controller cache in case of power failure. The FiberCAT SX80 is a fast storage system. This comes from brand new 4 Gigabit per second Fiber Channel technology, the latest 15k rpm SAS disks, as well as from FiberCache, which uses a high performance interconnect to synchronize RAID controller caches directly.

...without spending a silly amount on a laptop. For example, you could buy a 3 gb or even 4 gb of ram laptop, however these would go over the £1500 or even £2000 mark. Whereas this laptop only costs around £500 which for 2 gb of ram is a great price.
Its doesn’t disappoint in harddrive space either, as it delivers a very impressive 160 gb of storage for all your files to be saved on. I certainly have never needed a laptop with more than 160 gb and have never even filled a laptop with over 80 gb of data before, however its always good to know you can basically put whatever you want on your laptop and the space will never run out.
The screen size of this laptop is 15.4 inches. Which is around the average, and will be ok for basic laptop needs. Its not a great size for watching movies on however, and you might find it a little small...

Advantages: Upgradeability, accessability, standard components Disadvantages: Although helpful, the support and maintenance could be better, in particular the engineers attending need to be more considerate on the stressing of cables I think, and need to not simply resort to reinstalling windows as the catch all solution
...I originally bought this machine over 3 years ago now, and although I initially had some concerns over the sound card quality, and the usual Windows installation problems. I did manage to get reasonable support from the Fujitsu ICL helpdesk. I eventually managed to get the sound card replaced, even though there seemed to be some question as to whether the card was in fact faulty. On a particular piece of software the quality of the sound was unbearable, and although it did seem to improve after the new sound card, it did not become totally improved. One of the main advantages of buying a relatively expensive machine like the Fujitsu, has been in the realive ease of upgrading it. Even things like adding HardDrives are all taken care of with the cables and connectors all being provided to make this reasonably painless. On other machines...
