Storage Trends Around Computex 2015. Tom Coughlin. Forbes. June 8, 2015.     The 2015 Computex Conference attracted many digital storage vendors. There were announcements about flash-based storage products, new memory products and optical archives.  CMC Magnetics said that it is selling 100 GB Blu-ray optical discs to Facebook for archiving applications. The company expects other internet service companies to follow suit. In May, Sony announced that it was buying Optical Archive, a start-up created by former Facebook executive. Sony is making a big push to create digital archiving solutions using Blue-ray disc technology and the acquisition is seen as an extension of this effort.
