Denali has just posted on its website an interview with Dr. Tom Coughlin, entitled "Expert Opinion on 'What's Holding up the SSD market?'" in which he discusses with Denali many of the uncertainties and complicating factors that will have to be resolved before SSDs (NAND Flash-based Solid State Drive) can significantly displace magnetic media in the broad range of computing products.

Tom is an Industry Veteran of many years in the trenches in the hard drive business, and originator of two well-attended storage conferences, the first associated with the January Consumer Electronics show, Storage Vision, and the second scheduled in April, Creative Storage. He is also the author of dozens of technical papers, a part-time College instructor, and worked for many of the leading (or now defunct) hard drive companies.

While there are certainly as many points of view about the future development of the SSD market place as there are analysts, we feel that Tom's viewpoint is exceedingly important and well-informed, given his deep experience in the industry.

As with all Denali webcasts/podcasts, if you have questions, go ahead and leave a comment. They will be answered by the presenter/speaker ASAP.
