Diablo Memory 1 Takes Memory Channel Flash To The Next Level

August 5, 2015 By Stephen 1 Comment

I've written about Diablo Technologies in the past, and they're been part of Tech Field Day and my other events. The company's products have always blurred the line between storage and memory, placing flash chips on memory modules and leveraging the fast, low-latency memory channel rather than the PCI or SATA/SAS bus. Memory 1 does one better, delivering a true flash DIMM that … [Read more...] about Diablo Memory 1 Takes Memory Channel Flash To The Next Level

Flash Memory in the DRAM Slots? Diablo Technologies is Working On It…

July 30, 2013 By Stephen 5 Comments

I've written recently about the difference between solid-state drives (SSDs), PCIe SSDs, and solid-state memory over PCIe. But a new technology was presented to me this month that's even more radical: What if NAND flash was placed on a DIMM for direct access by the CPU? This is what Diablo Technologies just announced as "Memory Channel Storage". In theory, the idea of … [Read more...] about Flash Memory in the DRAM Slots? Diablo Technologies is Working On It…

Pure Storage All-Flash Storage Array Revealed

August 23, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Flash memory is awesome, but SSD isn't a drop-in replacement for disk. Flash is totally different from spinning disk, yet most storage arrays still treat it as disk-like block storage. That's why I was pleased to hear from startup Pure Storage, who are asking the core question, "what should an all-flash storage device look like?" Another Storage Startup? Pure Storage is a … [Read more...] about Pure Storage All-Flash Storage Array Revealed

SSD: So Close and Yet So Far

October 15, 2008 By Stephen 6 Comments

Solid state (NAND flash) storage is all the rage right now, but there are many lingering questions regarding its true performance, reliability, and cost. But no question is more important in determining its ultimate usefulness than that of location: Where should flash storage be placed to maximize return on investment? Storage companies have argued that flash disks can be … [Read more...] about SSD: So Close and Yet So Far

E-Waste: 32 MB Flash Cards

October 3, 2008 By Stephen 7 Comments

Over the last year, I have purchased two Canon digital cameras. Both are excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone. But each came with a worthless 32 MB SD flash card. So did the (now broken) HP point-and-shoot I picked up last year. And the Nikon that preceded the Canon. In fact, it appears that just about every digital camera comes with a tiny, mostly-useless "starter" … [Read more...] about E-Waste: 32 MB Flash Cards
