Flash Arrays

Companies have recently started to offer flash based disks. What is cool with these disks is that it is possible to dramatically increase performance by creating tiny raid subsystems. There are already two examples Panasonic’s P2 and Addtron ArrayPro. Hard disk can be used for raid too but flash memory is so small even small flash drives can contain raid subsystem, the P2 has a raid in a PCMCIA form factor.
