> Very neat to see it on the storage side, and something I don't think anyone could fathom back in the spinning disk days. Seagate had a product called Kinetic that was an Ethernet-connected key-value spinning disk. We had a 1U box with a number of 4000GB drives in our lab for an evaluation. It was interesting but we didn't find a use for it. Product is dead now as far as I know.
