Making Host Managed SMR Work for You – Dropbox’s Successful Journey
Organizations are looking for new, cost-effective mass storage solutions to help them contend with the onslaught of data. Innovations such as helium-sealed drives take advantage of lower internal atmospheric density to enable additional, thinner disks for higher capacities, while Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) hard drives overlap data tracks to achieve greater storage density. The first […]

Top Five from RISC-V
The open source movement has demonstrated that innovation can be maximized with a large community working toward a common goal. Open source innovation often happens at a much faster pace, and can be far more focused on customer needs than when a proprietary model is used. RISC-V can democratize compute architecture and enable the creation of custom silicon without requiring an overwhelming investment or a high-volume guarantee.
