Micron Builds a Ford Taurus: The P400e SSD Hands-On Review

December 5, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Solid-state drives (SSD's) have been around for a while, but they have never been a mainstream alternative for enterprise server booting and applications. SSD's were positioned as high-performance storage for special use cases and were too expensive for mainstream adoption.

CalDigit USB 3.0 PCI Express Card … [Read more...] about USB 3.0 For Mac Is Here!

Will Snow Leopard Finally Bring iSCSI To The Mac?

March 18, 2009 By Stephen 7 Comments

ZFS wasn't the only AWOL storage technology in Apple's OS X 10.5 - early builds of Leopard included a built-in iSCSI initiator. When the operating system was finally released in October of 2007, both ZFS and iSCSI were quietly dropped, making room for 300 other features Apple felt were more prime-time-ready. With the next major OS X release, 10.6 "Snow Leopard", just around … [Read more...] about Will Snow Leopard Finally Bring iSCSI To The Mac?
