RAID theoretician O'Brien unfortunately hasn't had time in recent months to make any postings about anything. He's too busy running some advanced R&D projects here at StorComp. As high speed storage requirements for solid state disk performance are moving well into the terabyte range, it seems the R&D engineers here work later and later in the evening. It's rather like the book "The Soul of a New Machine" which described the breakthrough R&D project at DG a few years ago, and the round-the-clock development work it involved. Technical people needing information above and beyond what is in the O'Brien high speed RAID reports, meanwhile, can contact Eileen Chalifoux (SC7TByte_at_World.std.com) here, as she runs the StorComp government multiple-terabyte programs.
