Exactly, this is has to be aimed at EMC as well as STEC in what has become a common misuse of a patent system in need of repair. http://infiniteadmin.com/emc-symmetrix-dmx-4-san-in-seagate-patent-jeopardy

Try Revstor's Sanware which allows you to designate nodes (servers) that will provide resources to create a storage area network. http://infiniteadmin.com/

Datacore offers software called Sanmelody to turner servers into a cheap storage network and there are other vendor solutions as well. http://infiniteadmin.com/

How many cops actually know what they're using? I see there being more of a market for competitors to use each other's rfid implementations against them (as in espionage and sabotage) rather than a market for flat out destruction of devices. http://infiniteadmin.com/

I agree that rfid is not so scary if you know the details of the implementations. There are many systems already implemented that are a lot tougher to circumvent than these things. The recent Dutch $2B transit system is a great example although I know this article is referring to somewhat different usage scenarios. The knowledge is power as always. http://infiniteadmin.com/

The flash manufacturers are migrating their nand production to samller processes and it is not unfeasible to see drives of this capacity sub-$1000 within this year when mass production begins. see http://infiniteadmin.com/index.php/slc-versus-mlc-nand-devices/ for more excellent info.

With 3-bit and even quadbit MLC NAND around the corner we should see faster controllers that will make these drives more attractive and larger. There are even some hybrid controllers that allow multiple nand types(mlc and slc) and even nor in the same application. One of these is Samsung's flex-OneNAND.
