I'm not sure when I want to introduce this book. I have alot of material on all the subjects here, but I don't have the time right now to pull it all together. This will be, I think, a very big book, and I don't want to enter into it lightly. --Whiteknight(talk) (projects) 01:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Introduction

I want this book to discuss the field of data storage, particularly as it applies to hardware systems, but also as it applies to software systems as well (particular file systems, et al).
