  SD Cards: Why Order Them In A Bulk?

Backing up important data is an undeniable aspect of the technologically advanced modern world. Be it photographs, videos, movies or other significant data, they all need to be stored properly for future use. SD card or Secure Digital card is one such device that will help store all the relevant materials securely. As the name suggests, it secures all digital data. To understand why we should order bulk SD cards, we need to know why they are so beneficial. They are extremely compact, easy to carry and require very little power to operate. They allow for immediate access to the stored...

  RAM is the new disk...

Jim Gray, a man who has contributed greatly to technology over the past 40 years, is credited with saying that memory is the new disk and disk is the new tape. With the proliferation of "real-time" web applications and systems that require massive scalability, how are hardware and software relating to this meme? Tim Bray, in his discussions about grid computing before it became such a hot topic, pointed out how advances in hardware around RAM and networking were allowing for the creation of RAM clusters that were faster than disk clusters. [M]emory is several orders of magnitude faster than d...

  Fujitsu CTO: Flash is just a stopgap

Flash is a necessary waystation as we travel to a single in-memory storage architecture. That's the view from a Fujitsu chief technology officer's office.Dr Joseph Reger, CTO at Fujitsu Technology Solutions, is that office-holder, and – according to him – flash is beset with problems that will become unsolvable. He says we are seeing increases in flash density at the expense of our ability to read and write data. Each shrink in process geometry, from 3X to 2X and onto 1X, shortens flash's endurance, and each increase in cell bit level, from 2-bit to 3-bit multi-level cell (MLC), ...
