The Ultimate Nokia Sale Part 2

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Due to overwhelming public demand, Techbox Philippines will hold a second ‘Ultimate Nokia Sale’ on April 16-18 at 2299 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati city.

About a month ago, Techbox Philippines offered a Nokia Sale where up to 80% discounts were offered to the public. Smartphones ranging from entry level to the sophisticated Lumias and Android handsets from Nokia were made available at an incredible low price, much to the public’s delight. Over 3000 Nokia handsets were sold on the last Nokia Sale, with thousands of people lining up to get their hands on the offerings. 

“We thought it was the last hurrah – the final chance for Nokia enthusiasts to get smartphones with the Nokia brand on them, before Microsoft floods the market with their own handsets” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines. “But after the sale, we were totally blown away by the compelling number of people who said they wished they didn’t miss their chance to get their Nokia phones. There were also a lot who knew of others who also wanted Nokias but for some reason weren’t able to come to our sale on those dates. The requests were just overwhelming,” added Angela.

New WD Purple NV 3.5-inch drives equipped for NVR Surveillance-system Environments

WD, a Western Digital company and storage industry leader, today introduced WD Purple NV, a purpose-built line of 3.5-inch, high-capacity 4 TB and 6 TB hard drives for the greater demands of scalable network video recorder (NVR) surveillance systems. 

Compared with standard WD Purple drives, the new member of the WD’s surveillance video recording family of drives, WD Purple NV, is designed for larger-scale network surveillance systems utilizing higher hard drive bay counts and greater numbers of attached cameras, which demand increased storage capacity and durability. The new drives’ high capacities also enable long video retention periods for analysis and reference. WD Purple NV is also designed to withstand the demands of always-on digital NVR recording environments. It offers low power consumption and many advanced performance features typically reserved for higher end surveillance storage.

“The global video surveillance market is expanding with the increased accessibility to easy-to-use systems for small businesses and municipalities,” said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president of HDD marketing at WD. “WD optimized the WD Purple NV line of hard drives for NVR digital surveillance systems to improve high-definition video playback for high-camera-count applications. NVR surveillance systems can produce incredible amounts of data which makes the WD Purple NV hard drives a perfect solution for NVR systems needing high quality recording and playback and high capacity storage.”
