it, likely, becomes less rather than more. These functions need to be automated,
probably in more advanced home storage network systems.

better product performance, and quicker time to market by leveraging electronic
integration. This is made possible by denser transistor architectures in storage devices.
The result is to build standard consumer electronics application commands into storage
device fi rmware.
