July 7, 2008 (Computerworld) While most major disk-drive manufacturers have developed or are already selling solid-state disk drives or hybrid drives, which use a combination of flash memory and spinning disk, Fujitsu Ltd. has chosen not to develop a product for market. Joel Hagberg, Fujitsu’s vice president of business development, said his company does not plan to launch any solid-state disk-drive products over the next two years because the value proposition of the technology is not compelling enough and won’t be until technology breakthroughs change solid-state disk’s performance and reliability. Computerworld spoke with Hagberg about the future of solid state disk. The following are excerpts from that interview.

An interesting read, I’ve been wondering when we will see more vendors offer solid state drives in their servers as standard, at the same time, with solid state disks, do I still need to have RAID in terms of reliability? We’ll have to see, do check out the article.
