FIRST TO MARKET<\/strong> \u00b7 Publicly documented 2017 \u00b7 Invent Deposition #103<\/p>\n

Deposition #103<\/strong> is the origin of the computational-storage line \u2014 the insight that the density and form<\/em> of a storage medium is the real lever, and that solid-state form factors would win on that lever.<\/p>\n

“examine why a 3.5 solid state data format would work \u2026 size matters, and when study of density of a disc\/form is the goal \u2026 why not!” \u2014 Christopher Gabriel Brown, 2017<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From one line to an engineered product<\/h2>\n

The 2017 line poses the question that became the AutoPhi CS-50: if density of form<\/strong> is the goal, push storage and compute into the same solid-state body. That is exactly the CS-50 computational-storage apparatus \u2014 inline AES-XTS encryption tweaked by physical-page address with a near-data compute engine, so data is processed where it is stored. The founding claim is intact: density of form is the goal \u2014 so compute at the data.<\/strong><\/p>\n
