Animal Brands
and Metaphors in the Storage Market
In November 2007 - WD joined
the ranks of the Fastest
Growing Storage Companies .
This proved to be more than a lucky
quarterly spike, because later - in April 2008 - WD reported that hard drive
revenue grew by 43% for the quarter ending March 28 compared to the
year ago period.
These results confirm that
Seagate, which
announced lower revenue growth of 10% for the same quarter, is losing market
share within the overall hard disk market. That's not a problem it can fix by
hiring lawyers to sue SSD
companies.

Unveils Flash SSD Performance Roadmap |
Editor:- April 17, 2008 -
STORAGEsearch.com published a new article today called - the Flash SSD
Performance Roadmap.
A few weeks ago a reader asked a very good
question.
"Is there an industry roadmap for future flash SSD
performance?"
That prompted other questions like... How fast are
flash SSDs going to be in 2009? or 2012? What are the technology factors which
relate to throughput and IOPS? And how much faster will they be than today.
There wasn't a simple answer I could give at the time. Clues lay
scattered all across this web site
and in my many discussions about the market... |

But I agreed there should
be a single place on the web where these answers could be found.
Forget
Moore's Law. That gives you the wrong answer, and this article explains why.
