Tech storage grows up
Data storage is becoming more sophisticated. The use of a rotating magnetized disk is receding, and taking its place are solid state drives (SSDs), sometimes referred to as flash drives. They use no moving parts. SSDs are changing the way CIOs view storage for workstations and data centers. Once packaged, these drives are no different from platter-based predecessors as far as interface controllers are concerned. The key difference is the lack of moving parts, and advancement that will deliver an immediate result: data access is near instantaneous.
