An HDD’s Mechanical Limitations A History of Digital Storage Tape Drives Magnetic Drum Memory The Birth of the Hard Drive The 5.25-inch Hard Drive Limitations of the HDD The RAM SSD & NAND NAND in SSDs In spite of new technologies like perpendicularly aligned bits and HAMR, HDDs are mechanical devices at heart and, as [...]
We just published a new white paper that offers an overview of some of the various technologies of NAND across the burgeoning market–from basic MLC and SLC to High-Endurance and Serial NAND. Because each of these flavors offer significantly different performance capabilities, features, and benefits, my hope is that it can be worthwhile starting place [...]

This is exciting stuff. I took some time–and a handy-dandy flipcam–on my recent trip out to the MAST Center to film Joe Jeddeloh’s demonstration of our enterprise PCI-e prototype. It’s really cool to prove (on hardware) what was thought-to-be-possible on paper. Come on into the lab and see the kind of IOP/s we’re hitting with [...]
