- editor's note:- in October 2007 - Addonics launched what it
called a "low cost large capacity SSD" platform. It's a PCI card
that can be installed with 4 Compact Flash cards with inbuilt
RAID support. The risk
with this approach is that most CF cards aren't designed for intensive write
operations and don't have wear levelling controllers. That means if a user
installs such a product in a server application - as a lower cost alternative to
a true SSD - the storage media may fail in under a year.
In June
2009 Addonics
announced a family of
hard
disk duplicators for 2.5" and 3.5 SATA or PATA drives with prices
starting from $249.
Addonics's
Zebra
disk duplicator is the 2nd Zebra in my menagerie directory -
Animal Brands
in the Storage Market.
The
disk duplicator market
is not, frankly a great market to be in, at a time when
hard disk market
revenue is declining by double digit percentages year on year. Addonics says
you can use these duplicators for
SSDs too. But that won't
boost demand because most oems are just going to redeploy the under utilized
equipment they've already got - rather than buy new stuff. |
