  • editor's comments:- in June 2010 - Violin Memory announced it has acquired the technology assets of of Gear6.

    In the search volume based ranking of SSD companies which I get to see internally (we only publish the top 10 or so) Gear6's rank was lower than that of Platypus Technology - a company which has been out of business for 6 years - so I'm not really surprised Gear6 fizzled out - as a reader said to me "after they burned $24 millions and didn't have much to show for it."

    In September 2008 - Gear6's blog SSDs: Placement and Perspective mused on the best place to put a server SSD.

    That was one of more than 10 key areas of fundamental disagreement within the SSD industry listed in a later article (June 2010) published here on StorageSearch.com - the SSD Heresies.
