The need for high capacity hard drives has increased lately and in the present market, there are two 2TB hard disk drives, one from Seagate and the other one from Western Digital. Both the hard disk drives operate at lower speeds and save power. The green models operate at around 4-5W which is half the normal power consumption of hard drives.
The competition between the two hard disk drives is heating up as both the models have similar performance and price. The 2TB hard drives in the market operate at 5900 rpm and in the near future, 7200 rpm hard drives are expected even though it is difficult to manufacture 2TB hard drives at much higher speeds.

Xsan 2 from Apple is a storage area network that is based on cluster file system. Mac desktop and Xserve systems can share RAID storage over networks of fibre channels. This reduces network bottleneck and makes backup possible for all the systems in the Xsan 2 network.
Kroll Ontrack announced its new data recovery software to recover lost data in Apple Xsan 2 systems. Using this software, corrupted Xsan setups can be repaired and data loss due to hardware failures can be easily recovered using the new Kroll software.
