		<description><![CDATA[We’ve been talking about the merits of SSD caching vs. tiering for a while now, but at last someone else did it right. Enter Apple’s Fusion drive announced earlier today. For those needing a technical refresher on caching vs. tiering, see my earlier blog posts SSD Tiering versus Caching: Part 2 and SSD Caching versus [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For enthusiasts and gamers, over the past several years, combining several hard drives in a striped RAID configuration has provided reasonable benefits over and above a single hard drive. With my new SSD insight however, it’s now apparent that RAID never really provided sufficient improvements that justified the additional cost, time and effort involved other [...]]]></description>

Having just returned from the 2011 Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, I feel compelled to add some additional color around the topic given the level of confusion clearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the short comings of the original 32 bit Windows Home Server (WHS) for me was the lack of any built in tools to backup the primary WHS boot drive. While using a RAID 1 boot drive would protect me from a disk drive crash, it didn’t offer the capability to “rewind” back to [...]]]></description>

I could write a thesis on how many times I’ve seen engineers and marketers create funky steps in products to do the most basic things, usually because not enough attention was paid pre-design to figuring out ahead of time the multiple ways different [...]]]></description>

What’s been a business primarily focused on building solid high-availability RAID arrays is now facing a serious commoditization challenge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In some recent discussions, I sensed there is some confusion around solid state device (SSD) storage used as a storage tier vs, a cache. While there are some similarities and both are intended to achieve the same end result i.e. acceleration of data accesses from slower storage, there are some definite differences which I thought [...]]]></description>

On one side I’m really happy to see that server based software RAID (or Virtual RAID Adapters, VRAs, as we called them at Ciprico and DotHill) coming into the spotlight again. Performance, especially now with SSD usage [...]]]></description>
