[sdw2003] Nth Generation: A STORAGE REVOLUTION!

[Tad Braun]

Apparently, it still is a bunch of hard disks, but packaged in a sealed,
vibration-reduced, heat-reduced package that "nearly" eliminates having
to ever replace a disk again. This product has more to do with treating
drives the right way to get them to do what they do for a longer period
of time. It is really for those that manage a ton of drives (hundreds to
thousands). In one test case (almost 6000 drives running for 42Million+
service hours), there was not one replacement needed, although
conventional MTBF estimated that 60 to over 100 should have failed.

We get interested here because we're watching over 60Tb+ of disk, this
kind of thing can help us with replacement/service events...

So what makes up an Intelligen Storage Device if it's not a hard disk?
