Back in May, I presented the blog and question, “Is MLC the future of enterprise SSD storage?” and covered the ground with a discussion of the current standards, trends, and thoughts from analysts. It became clear that Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology used within Solid State Drives was going to…
The fall 2011 Storage Networking World (SNW) show is just around the corner and will be held next week at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. SNW is the world’s largest storage, data center, and IT infrastructure conference and brings together top information from information technology executives, leading product and service providers, and [...]
At last week’s Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, LSI showcased an impressive demo of an 8-port 12Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) solution that reached over 1.2 million I/O operations per second when connected to just eight Seagate Savvio 2.5-inch drives. Yes, you read it correctly: 12Gb/s SAS is coming. According to Marty Czekalski, [...]
With today’s complexity of IT data management, and the need for ever-increasing efficiency and cost reduction, tiering your data based on its use is essential. What that means is that the most frequently accessed information stays on the higher-performance Solid State Drives (SSDs) and 15K-rpm…

Coming off of last week’s post about SAS vs. SATA myths, let’s now shift gears to review an old myth about SSDs vs. HDDs. Of course Seagate makes both, so we’re especially interested in understanding and demystifying how the divergent features of SSDs and HDDs fit best into the…
With LSI’s recent announcement that the company has begun sampling 12Gb/s SAS technology to OEMs, it seemed a good time to write about SAS. Also an opportunity to clear up a couple common misconceptions. SAS, or Serial Attached SCSI, is the current interface of choice in the enterprise for…
With all the talk of the continued exponential growth of storage, and the excitement surrounding the consumption being driven by all the new applications and devices that access information from the Cloud, it’s easy to overlook the question of just where exactly all the backend technology will…
