Yeah, keep buying those SSDs, grins Seagate: Your data will be on our disks eventually, muaha

Systems Manager.

Seagate Makes excellent Hybrid SSHD drives, combining Fast SSD as cache with huge TB of disc storage. Now NVM is the latest technology with GB/sec read write speeds.

Seagate should make an NVM Hybrid Product, an NVM+HD.

Imagine: 64 GB NVM stick as cache backed by 4/8/10 TB of Disk, linked by LPDDR4 16GB RAM cache and custom 3 level cache controller chip.

Users could copy over a full BluRay disk in 2 seconds, and the drive would migrate it from it's RAM cache to NVM, and from NVM to disk as needed.

Three Level Caching allows RAM disk speeds for huge 10 TB Seagate Drives. RAM speed, cached by SSD Flash memory, and long term storage provided by those Ultra reliable HAMR discs.

I use PrimoCache Software with Seagate Drives, and get 9 Gigabyte / Sec Writes, 14 Gibabyte / Reads.

That's correct: 9GB/Sec Write and 14GB/Sec Reads on all my Seagate 4TB & 8TB Hard Drives.

Seagate could build an automatic NVM adapter exactly the same, at a reasonable cost.

Imagine your 16 TB drives with GB/Sec reads and writes. Boot up times in fraction of a second.

Your Drive will be waiting for the CPU to issue commands, not the other way around.

Instead of a 16TB drive with SATA controller, it has a cable connected to NVM M.2 adapter.

The M.2 Adapter houses the 4GB LPDDR4 Level 1, and 64GB NVM Flash Level 2.

64GB is enough space to hold Windows 10 and plenty of data, with the bulk of low use data stored on the huge 16TB platters. M.2 NVM speeds with Warehouse size storage.

Product Mix could be 2 levels: Pro and Ultra.

Pro holding the 4GB RAM / 64GB Flash storage. 4TB 8TB 10TB drives.

Ultra having 8GB faster RAM / 256GB Flash storage 10TB 12TB 16TB and larger drives.

Mass production drives down the cost and the unbeatable performance locks in Seagate as Market leader. Seagate should buy Romex Software the company, or design similar 3 Level caching firmware / controllers. https://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache/index.html

Facebook's inflection point: Now everyone knows this greedy mass surveillance operation for what it is

ChatBots. A.I. They'll EAT your FaceBook.

DELETE you Face Book, because of A.I. They'll Eat your FaceBook.

ChatBots are automated mini A.I. programs that can leave comments and pretend to be humans.

To train a ChatBot Neural Network program to act human, you need to feed it a lot of real human data.

FaceBook holds TONS of human generated data, and makes a great feeding pool to train A.I. programs to act human... maybe TOO Human...

You can learn how to write ChatBot, A.I., and Neural Network programs from free YouTube videos.

Then, just plug them into FaceBook and they will slurp up gigabytes of data to learn and act human.

The only question Facebook Users should really have is : how much data have they lost already,

voluntary giving up their privacy and social links of family, friends, and emails, physical addresses, events, photos, phone numbers, etc.

Once combining harvested FaceBook data with say, harvested credit reporting data - the harm that can be done to individuals, corporations, or families is almost unlimited.
