Storage Effect

Seagate is backing up its pro-SSD words with “let’s get it done” actions

Anton Shilov at Xbit Labs reports that Seagate is co-chairing a JEDEC committee with Micron to develop SSD standards.  Contrary to Anton’s comments, Seagate is on record as being pro-SSD.

Standardization will accelerate adoption of SSDs into the storage device world currently dominated by spinning disks.  Having leaders from both worlds drive the standards means the job will get done right the first time. 

For those with doubts about Seagate embracing a future that includes SSD, actions speak louder than words.
