      Who are investors going to back:

      Start-up A says: We will put existing technology in a shiny box, and add a huge markup.

      Start-up A does: Put existing technology in a shiny box, and add a huge markup

      or

      Start-up B says: We are going to REVOLUTIONIZE storage

      Me, cynical?

    But...

    Isn't the whole point of going from a spinning disk to a solid state drive that it's NOT revolutionary?

    Thank you, I even made myself smile slightly* with that one.

    *mentally, anyway. Not in a way that anyone sitting nearby would have been able to see.

    WTF?

    From their web site... in Radoslav's bio

    "Radoslav was founder and CTO of SandForce Inc., the first and *currently* only company that enabled MLC flash memory in enterprise storage"

    Apparently Michael had it right above, you can have full marks for honesty, or you can have the investment....

    sad really....
