Founded in September 1996, Castlewood Systems, Inc., designs and manufactures ORB, the market's first high-performance, universal removable media storage device using revolutionary Magneto-Resistive (MR) head technology. This technology makes Castlewood very different from other removable media drives as MR permits a much larger concentration of data on the disk. The ORB drive is based on hard disk technology. The hard drive is enhanced using patented technology and offers fast access speeds, high reliability, archivability and portability. The Founders of Castlewood have a long history of proprietary developments in the field of hard disk and have been associated with Seagate, SyQuest and other storage companies. Since the ORB drive is a true hard drive, it can outperform other removable media drives such as magneto optical, super floppy, CD R/W, DVD and tape. In addition, there is no limit to the number of times you can record to an ORB disk. As many more devices become digital and internet-enabled, ORB plays a key role in broad-based consumer and business markets. ORB is a universal storage medium that lets users transfer information between a broad range of digital based products including TVs, VCRs, Web TV, Theater PC, set-top boxes and telephone systems with unprecedented convenience, flexibility and high speed. Considered the standard by which other storage devices are compared, Castlewood's ORB provides a substantial increase in capacity, performance and reliability. It offers endless storage possibilities at twice the speed and less than half the cost of any other product in its class. Today, ORB offers versatility and superiority to users of applications such as CAD/CAM, graphic design, publishing and multimedia presentations including digital graphics, photography, music and video. ORB provides users with a digital storage solution for the next millennium whatever the applications may be. It makes the convergence of personal computers and consumer electronics devices a reality! The ORB drive is uniquely PC & Mac compatible.
