Storage devices

Article is from: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9228126/Hybrid_drives_already_passe_as_SSD_sales_skyrocket?source=CTWNLE_nlt_dailyam_2012-06-15

It wasn't all that long ago that storage (aka 'memory' was on internal hard drives - with a read/write head and with disks that rotated underneath the read/write head to pull in information (or .. to write information).

Now, as this article suggest, SSD - solid state devices (aka - things like USB memory sticks) are in - faster, more reliable, no moving parts, and more capacity.  

Think of your own music storage devices - from cassette tapes; to CD rom; to MP3 players - talk about disruptive (or innovative) technologies.  So ... faster, cheaper, more reliable ... what's NOT to like in SSD devices!!!  While not quite appropriate, think of Moore's Law in a parallel university of storage!!
