     HAMMER STORAGE SOLUTIONS AWARDED PATENTS FOR STORAGE ENCLOSURE DESIGN

         The award-winning SledgeHammer Pro Disk Array is now patented

Newark, CA, February 3, 1998, - Hammer Storage Solutions today announced the
issuance of two design patents for SledgeHammer(R) Pro Disk Array subsystem.
The SledgeHammer Pro Disk Array subsystem is an award-winning storage subsystem
that was specifically designed for Digital Video, Multimedia and Graphics
applications on Silicon Graphics, Windows NT, and Macintosh platforms.

The design patents address the visual look and feel of the removable canisters
and storage enclosure. According to John Yarborough, Technical Product
Marketing Manager at Hammer, "We serve the Digital Video and Graphics
marketplace, many of our customers have SGI O2s, Intergraph Studio Zs, and
PowerMac 9500/9600s or Macintosh G3s. We wanted a look that would aesthetically
match and function in these diverse environments and still provide the solid
industrial-strength dependability for which Hammer is known. Our engineering
has always been geared toward putting function first, so the challenge was to
carry through the engineering concepts in the physical look. Our approach was
so unique, that we patented it."

The SledgeHammer Pro Disk array is an Ultra SCSI Differential based enclosure
available in removable 4 or 8 drive bay configurations. The 8 bay can be
configured as either a desktop or rackmount solution and includes redundant
hot-swappable power supplies and fans. The SledgeHammer Pro Array solution
consists of the PCI Ultra SCSI JackHammer(R) and RaidWare(R) array software for
SGI, Windows NT or MacOS.

Hammer Storage Solutions, headquartered in Newark, CA, serves the digital media
marketplace. It develops and markets the award-winning Hammer(R) line of disk
arrays for Digital Video, Multimedia and Graphics applications for the 
Macintosh, Windows NT, and Silicon Graphics Platforms. Hammer products are 
marketed worldwide through distributors and resellers. Hammer, RAIDWARE, 
JackHammer and SledgeHammer are trademarks or registered trademarks of Hammer 
Storage Solutions. Additional information on Hammer Storage Solutions and its 
products can be found at http://www.hammerstorage.com or by contacting the
