In the world of data storage, speed is often paramount, especially in systems that demand high performance, like gaming PCs, servers, or workstations used for resource-intensive tasks such as video editing and 3D rendering. One of the advancements that has significantly boosted storage speeds in recent years is NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) technology, which provides a much faster alternative to traditional storage interfaces like SATA. However, when you combine NVMe drives in a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) setup, you can achieve even higher levels of performance and redundancy.

Next year will be Big Tech’s finale. Critique of Big Tech is now common sense, voiced by a motley spectrum that unites opposing political parties, mainstream pundits, and even tech titans such as the VC powerhouse Y Combinator, which is singing in harmony with giants like a16z in proclaiming fealty to “little tech” against the centralized power of incumbents.Why the fall from grace?

In March 2024, three authors filed a class action in California against Nvidia for allegedly training its AI platform NeMo on their copyrighted work. Two months later, the A-list actress Scarlett Johansson sent a legal letter to OpenAI when she realized its new ChatGPT voice was “eerily similar” to hers.The technology isn’t the problem here. The power dynamic is. People understand that this technology is being built on…
