What are the latest storage trends?

Marc Farley, Microsoft

Published: 05 Jan 2002

I know this is a broad question but I will ask anyways because I know plenty of people have the same question. What is the latest trend in computer storage?

The latest trends in computer storage (now) are:

Removable flash memory (cameras, MP3 players, etc.)
IDE RAID controllers
NAS (network attached storage)
SAN (storage area networks)
Fibre Channel
iSCSI serial SCSI over TCP/IP
