Garden of Earthly Delights, Gamma Iron Oxide Valley, Silicon Valley, or whatever one calls it, the valley is the home of the hard disk drive industry. Its companies, products, and technologies have been the subject of much historical interest. The history of their attachment to systems is the little-explored subject of this webinar. The focus is primarily on disk drives (SSD and HDD) and their control but much of the history is common to other storage devices like tape.

18:45 - Grant Saviers talks about the evolution of storage interfaces
34:59 - Jai Menon talks about the evolution of block storage system interfaces
53:00 - Amber Huffman discusses the history of NVME & its roadmap
01:08:00 - Panel Discussion
