FWB Offers 5-Year Warranty on SledgeHammer and Hammer-Professional
Products

Solidifies Position as Industry Leader by Increasing Commitment to Customer
Satisfaction

San Francisco (January 15, 1995)--FWB, Incorporated highlighted its
commitment to providing the best Macintosh storage systems today by
increasing the warranty period on its Hammer-Professional and SledgeHammer
drive lines by three full years (from two years to five years). Already
providing the premiere high-capacity, high-performance storage systems for
Macintosh digital video and color pre-press applications, FWB's new
warranty policy reflects its dedication to long-term customer
satisfaction.

FWB's award-winning storage products are industry acclaimed for quality,
performance, and reliability. Eric Herzog, Vice President of Marketing
commented, "Increasing reliability of today's drive mechanisms has allowed
us to move beyond the two-year warranties previously offered on our
high-performance storage lines. The SledgeHammer arrays and Hammer-Pro
drive subsystems have always been recognized for quality and speed. This
decision allows us to demonstrate to our customers our on-going commitment
to providing the finest storage systems on the market."

FWB's SledgeHammer family of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)
systems provides the highest performance available for Macintosh digital
video, color publishing, and pre-press applications. The family includes
the SledgeHammer and SledgeHammer-NuBus lines of SCSI 2 Fast arrays and
the SledgeHammer-Wide and SledgeHammer-II lines of SCSI 2 Fast and Wide
arrays. The Hammer-Professional family is composed of the Hammer and
PocketHammer lines of single-mechanism SCSI 2 Fast drives and the
PocketHammer-Wide line of SCSI 2 Fast and Wide drives, including the
PocketHammer1760FMF Wide which was recommended by MacUser Magazine as the
"Ferrari of hard drives" in October, 1994.

In addition to numerous awards and magazine review victories, the
SledgeHammer3500FMF II was a MacUser Magazine 1994 Eddy Award Finalist for
Best New Storage System, while the entire SledgeHammer disk array family
was an A/V Video Magazine Platinum Award Finalist for 1994.
