A family of Storage SLID3s
(available in solid state flash or spinning disk formats) and
the Hybrid SLID3 (a hybrid
SSD/spinning disk format) allow Xi3 Modular Computer owners to

add up to 2TB of external storage to their systems in an easily
mountable/attachable form factor

SALT LAKE CITY -- January 7, 2011 -- Xi3® Corporation today unveiled its first
external modular storage solutions for use with the Xi3 Modular Computer™: a
family of Storage SLID3™ hard-drives
and a Hybrid SLID3™ hard-drive.

Storage SLID3 hard-drives are available in solid
state flash or spinning disk formats. The Hybrid SLID3 is a hard-drive that uniquely couples both solid state and
spinning media into a storage solution that provides near SSD speeds at
slightly more than spinning media costs. These external Xi3 SLID3
hard-drives allow users to add up to 2TB (Terabytes) of storage to their Xi3
Modular Computer system. {NOTE: The
word SLID3 is pronounced "slide."}

Housed in
a uniquely shaped aluminum casing measuring 4.9375- X 3.625- X 1.6875-inches
and weighing as little as 1.0 lb. apiece, each SLID3 storage solution utilizes Xi3's SLID3 Interlocking Technology™ which allows SLID3 hard-drives to be permanently/semi-permanently attached or
connected to any Xi3 Modular Computer. When mounted onto a wall, these
load-bearing SLID3 hard-drives will
support both an Xi3 Modular Computer and an attached monitor.

"Although
more and more people are beginning to store their data in the Internet cloud,
we also recognize that a lot of us feel more comfortable knowing we have our
data right on our desktop," said Jason A. Sullivan, President and CEO of Xi3
Computers. "That's why we are formally announcing our Hybrid SLID3 and our initial family of StorageSLID3 hard-drives for this week's 2011
International CES trade show."

External SLID3 hard-drives will be available later
in the first quarter of 2011 in the following configurations, formats and
