#DataStorage

2026-02-13

In an age of AI-washing, most IT vendors' product updates sound the same on the surface: "Now with agentic AI!" It can be tough to discern when something truly different hits the market. Some analyst friends helped me figure that out this week, though, in the wake of IBM's #FlashSystem refresh - now with agentic AI! -- what's actually new here, how does it fit into broader industry trends and compare with all the competitors making similar claims?

My write-up breaks it all down: techtarget.com/searchstorage/n #AIOps #allflasharrays #agenticAI #datastorage #realtimedatamanagement #IBM #Dell #NetApp #PureStorage #ITinfrastructure

💠 Holographic storage used to be the stuff of science fiction or expensive, failed experiments. We usually expect massive capacity at the cost of proprietary hardware that forces us to throw away everything we already built. HoloMem is taking a different path by making holographic tech work inside the tape libraries you already have in your data center. 😳 The move from magnetic tape to light-sensitive polymer ribbons is the core of this change. These cartridges look like standard LTO units but hold eleven times the data on a ribbon that is ten times shorter. Because the polymer is physically stable, you can turn off the air conditioning in your archive room and walk away for fifty years.

🧠 The system uses a five-dollar laser diode to write data as volumetric voxels.
⚡ One 200TB cartridge replaces more than ten LTO-10 tapes.
🎓 Software sees the HoloDrive as a standard LTO device for easy adoption.
🔍 Field trials in UK data centers show the tech works with existing robotic arms.

The digital world moves so fast that we forget our own origins. Recently, researchers pulled a ghost from the machine by recovering a 1973 Unix v4 tape found in a cold storage box. It reminds us that our modern software relies on foundations poured decades ago. Software history is fragile because magnetic tape decays over time. This recovery required custom hardware to bypass physical degradation that would destroy a standard drive. We now have a clearer view of the moment when Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie moved Unix to the C language. #LongLiveTape

🧠 Engineers used a specialized FPGA controller to extract raw data.
⚡ The recovery process saved 512 blocks of 16-bit words.
🎓 This source code includes the original implementation of the shell pipe.
🔍 Digital preservation prevents the loss of our shared technical heritage.

🔧 Người dùng có Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 4 (OS6) chạy XRAID, hiện có ổ 3 TB chứa dữ liệu không quan trọng và không muốn redundancy. Khi lắp ổ 4 TB, hệ thống tự động chuyển sang RAID 1 và báo “không thể mở rộng dọc”. Muốn giữ dữ liệu hiện tại, tạo một NAS có redundancy và một NAS không redundancy, tránh di chuyển dữ liệu. Ai có kinh nghiệm gợi ý cách mở rộng mà không mất dữ liệu? #NAS #Selfhosted #DataStorage #Tech #Vietnamese #LưuTrữ #Mạng

Blame AI! Samsung’s reported 100% QoQ increase in NAND Flash contract prices in Q1 2026 confirms a structural shift in the memory market. After sustained DRAM price increases driven by AI data center demand, NAND is now entering the same AI-led pricing cycle.

As generative AI, RAG, and agent-based systems move into production, storage demand is rising in both scale and performance. NAND Flash is no longer a commodity component but a strategic infrastructure asset. With supply constraints persisting and suppliers retaining pricing power, elevated NAND and SSD prices are likely to continue through 2027, affecting enterprise budgets, consumer device pricing, and increasing the value of secondary storage markets.
