| the world's first online ads for SSDs ran here on StorageSearch.com | ||||||
That was easy! - you might say. There were no other SSD sites. But was it really that easy? - So where did the SSD readers come from? We grew them - one reader at a time - starting in the 1990s. In those days SSDs were a small part of our coverage. We already published the #1 buyers guide for Unix hardware - and in 1998 we started the first storage industry wide directory of hardware, software and services with dedicated real-time lists of who made RAID systems, tape libraries, etc. SSDs were one of those guides from day one. And now the SSD ecosystem is the only thing we do. As the leading SSD publication at a critical phase in SSD market history - we played a material part in helping the SSD market to aspire much higher - and the reaction from our readers gave innovative SSD pioneers the business they needed and the confidence they needed to aim higher still. | ||||||
