- editor's comments:- according to a June 2010 company mission statement
report - Xyratex technology was inside 15% of the worldwide
external storage capacity shipped in 2009.
The company's view of the
SSD market at that time was muted. They said - "Disk Drives remain only

SSDs are limited to very
high performance "cache"and
transient data applications."
