This week I'm sharing another one of Matt Scott's breakdowns, this one from the Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds. In this frame-by-frame breakdown, Scott spends a little more time on color pallette and the luminance values in each of his […]
I’ve been impressed by Promise’s Pegasus2 line of Thunderbolt-enabed RAID drives. They’re fast, reliable, come in multiple configurations (4 drives, 6 drives, 8 drives), and are low-cost as far as hardware-based RAIDs go. Now Promise is adding a new Pegasus2 to the lineup.
