Quantum memory is designed to record, preserve and retrieve quantum states without destroying the properties that make quantum computing possible. Matt Finio explains how quantum memory differs from classical memory and explores concepts including qubits, superposition, decoherence, the no-cloning theorem and quantum error correction. The episode also examines solid-state systems, cold atoms, trapped ions and the role of memory in quantum networks, repeaters and a future quantum internet.

Disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure, or dHCI, combines the centralized management of hyperconverged infrastructure with the ability to scale storage and compute separately. Matt Finio explains how dHCI differs from traditional three-tier architecture, converged infrastructure, standard HCI and cloud infrastructure. Learn where dHCI can improve efficiency, reduce overprovisioning and support AI, analytics and mixed enterprise workloads.

Disaggregated storage separates storage resources from compute and reconnects them through a high-speed network. In this episode, Matt Finio explains how this architecture enables independent scaling, shared data access and more efficient infrastructure refresh cycles. Discover the role of software-defined storage, NVMe over Fabrics, TCP, RDMA and Fibre Channel, along with the benefits and challenges of disaggregated storage for AI, cloud services and distributed systems.

EEPROM and flash are both types of non-volatile memory, but they are designed for very different jobs. Matt Finio explains how EEPROM supports precise byte-level updates, while flash memory handles larger blocks of data at scale. Explore their differences in endurance, capacity, speed and cost, along with common applications in embedded systems, smartphones, SSDs, enterprise storage and AI infrastructure.

What is the difference between NVMe and SATA? In this episode, Matt Finio explains how these storage protocols work, why NVMe delivers faster performance and lower latency, and why SATA remains useful for legacy systems, backups and everyday workloads. Learn how drive types, protocols and form factors such as M.2 affect storage compatibility, performance and purchasing decisions
