Seriously. Don't get rich older folks that are like "yeah, I want to slave over a company 24x7". May be the same obsessive traits that got them to exec positions but logically seems dumb. Dude could drop from a heart attack any time. Even if he makes it, you have maybe 10-15 years left of...

So you want to know what the article has to do with tech if you remove the key tech aspect of the story??

lol, what? Do you not even understand why there are santions? I give two <Mod Edit> about people whining because they are inconvenienced by them. <Mod Edit - Off topic removed>

Do you think current hard drives seem simple and was cheap to develop? Called technology, always complex and always expensive when creating something new. But even then, this end product, even for early adaptors, is likely a tiny fraction of the cost of what that amount of space in SSD's...

This is a halo offering primarily for marketing reasons (upstaging google fiber's 20gbit offering). There are some folks who will be able to use it for their personal businesses purposes running on their home servers but, like Ziply's 10gbit (and really even the 5gbit), there is no real world...

It is 50 up and 50 down. Not sure where you read 100mbit up. They do not. This is single address offering.

And almost none are actually going to take the time to try to estimate what the annual cost difference is going to be for them (if they are even paying the power bill).

Reviewers and a few folks who are dealing with existing power supply actually care. Many care in theory. But my guess is almost all who are buying a card mainly for gaming put most weight into performance for what that they are willing to spend and the least weight on power consumption. I...

So "insane" speeds is 3gbit speed on 10gbit connection? Why is this an article?

Really shouldn't be listing the max sequential as the single data point when talking about these drives as it means almost nothing. All about the the smaller block size and random read/write speeds and now long it can sustain them. Even more important going forward as we are seeing with 5.0...

Seriously, you wonder if these "events" are orchestrated so Asus gets the blame?? And literally quoting Asus and showing what they put in writing is misquoting them?? That is some world-class tin-foil hat, irrational, die-hard-fan-boy, level defensiveness. Not calling out a company for...

Prices are correct but it is incorrect to use those prices to imply some pricing trend to predict further drops. SSD prices in the past few months have dropped significantly due to over production and companies are currently dumping them. That is a very temporary change in what has been a very...

Tape backups are still very common thing. This article isn't about backups, it is about live data center drives.

My takeaway from his argument is that Pure's most interesting product is whatever he is smoking.

And all the sales folks and management that made huge paychecks off those sales have to give back all that money and are fired! Oh, wait.. They're not? They have no impact at all? I'm sure they will change behavior..
