Flash Storage is a Magic Box!

How do you explain Flash storage?

My good friend, Martin Cooper, technical director in our EMEA Division at SolidFire, says:

“Think about storage like a magic box where all your online games, the Internet, TV and everything played on your iPad are kept for safe keeping. A lot of people are stuck with old magic boxes that take up a lot of room, make a lot of noise because you can hear everything moving inside them, and play games and videos very slowly if there are too many of them in the box.

“In comparison, flash storage is the super-hero of magic boxes. It’s much smaller – the size of a few Lego bricks – so doesn’t take up too much room in your bedroom. Like Lego bricks, you can also easily connect flash storage pieces to each other so you can store even more things. And regardless of how many pieces you put together, you can get your stuff out just as easily as you did before. It’s also much quieter, so won’t keep you up at night when you’re trying to sleep.

“Flash storage also uses a lot less electricity than traditional storage, so you’re effectively helping save the planet. If storage was like a car, flash storage would be an electric one and in the future, they will eventually replace all the petrol ones.”
