    All the cool things have an fpga in them.

    Well the all hot one's don't.

    the 3rd gen coming this fall is ASIC based to ensure better overall product support. so while FPGAs are cool, for storage technology, the ASIC will be more valuable.

    I'm seeing a big security hole with the micro-os . They dont have a great tradition of thinking security first

    Given the target market, I don't think these devices will be exposed to outside networks.

    It depends on how securely it is abstracted away from (or, perhaps, below) the main OS and how secure its interactions with it are. Normally direct access to it should be disallowed, even for admins, since that would mean bypassing all the abstraction and security that has been employed.

    Let the main OS access it securely (ideally by encrypting all the I/O), and provide access to it, again, via the main OS. Updates of the micro-OS should be done in the same way, and of course the micro-OS should have neither direct access to the internet nor indirect one (via access to the local network of the server).

    The Internal OS is a full version of Linux, with all the benefits of standard Host OS... There are no external access to the internal OS, all managed by the host application. So it is still extremely secure, given that it runs through an encryption engine internally as well.

    Where can I steal one?

    I know where you can buy one...

    3.9GB/s write throughput in 12W seems unbelievable and marketing fluff. I'm not going to buy 16/32TB of Flash only to find out your raw performance is slow, and if I can't use you to at least replace my NVMe drive, I can't use you at all. You expect people to buy this for your single, special workload, and NVMe for all their other workloads?
