Postgresql has gradually and intelligently been incorporating NoSql features e.g: hstore, hstore2, json, jsonb, etc. There are powerful features like indexing, etc. There are even cases where performance has been found to be better than e.g

I see a service anecdotes, positive and negative about Newegg. I don't know if they're real or if they're from Amazon shills, Newegg shills, etc. I guess we're stuck with anecdotes, not data. For myself, I'd always

I would think the media's longevity factors into the lifetime cost. If the optical media is certified for 50+ years, that essentially means they won't have a need to recopy data if for some reason they want to preserve it.. for a

This study performed an automated cut off DC power directly to the drive -- which seems reasonable to me - and is more practical for testing, and I personally like that it's testing the hard drive as a more "self-contained" u
