Optimizing Solid State Storage With HyperFast™ Technology

By Diskeeper Corporation

Solid state drives (SSD) have several issues that come into play when used as the primary storage medium in place of traditional magnetic hard disk drives (HDD), specifically regarding the operating system's logical file system. To date, file systems have been designed under the pretext of HDDs, and do not properly account for new NAND Flash/SSD technology.

This leads to issues that negatively impact mass market adoption of NAND Flash memory into the consumer, small/medium businesses, and enterprise markets where legacy file systems, designed for HDDs, will dominate the landscape for many years.
