Like many, we fondly remember our first 5.25-inch 5MB metal oxide hard drive that seemed lightning fast despite the noisy motor. You could never imagine filling all of the space…in years. So why is the Cheshire Cat smiling today?
Well the cat happens to be in the storage business and he knows there is a content explosion and hardware of all types need to be fed content. Then once the hardware gets the content it needs to be stored…somewhere, somehow. Whether it’s the mundane use of storage for business or government documents or data or the lovely, lively audio/video personal/home entertainment we are increasingly needing more and more storage. Life is good and it doesn’t matter if you’re in the rotating or flash memory fields fixed or removable. Best of all, you’re human…you’re a packrat. Once you’ve got that content digital, audio, video, web you don’t throw it away. Our ancient 5MB HD? You’d blow through that in a morning at home or the office.
