Will Flash Replace Disk?


While I have no doubt that the creative authors of The flash could find some way for him to replace a disk drive (by running really fast in a particular way, probably), that's not quite what we're talking about.


Dave from Netapp often gets asked when disk drives as we know them today will get replaced by something else - flash drives, holographic storage, bubble memory, that sort of thing.


"..will flash replace disk drives? Two answers:



I don't think so. For high-capacity storage systems, I don't think flash or any other new technology will replace disk drives any time soon.



I don't care. From NetApp's perspective, I don't think it really matters, because I don't think it would have much effect on our technology or our business.



Now I'll dig more into each answer."


Click on through for why Dave doesn't think so, and doesn't care!
