Show HN: New storage technology
Hi Lucas,
I&#x27;m a bit sceptical, as most people will probably be.
As mentioned by other here - more concrete benchmarking data will greatly help. Preferably include a comparison with other technology bench results using the same data.<p>On the topic of data - I wonder what was actually on those compressed disks you&#x27;ve shown in the videos, because as you probably know compression algorithms performance depends on the complexity and entropy of the data.<p>Also, NTFS and FAT filesystems are mostly zeroes, so they do shrink down a lot when compressed, and virtual disks can even be &quot;sparse&quot; to begin with..<p>In short - more information is required.<p>As for reaching out to research groups &#x2F; investors - 
It can be difficult, and I know this from experience running my own startup.<p>Between you and me - most investors won&#x27;t even understand what you&#x27;ve created. Assume they are non technical people. 
If it were the 90&#x27;s again - most of them would be working in the stock market, not technology.<p>So dumb it down, publish more papers&#x2F;data, and get people excited - 
In this business it&#x27;s more about appearances than substance I&#x27;m afraid.. If there&#x27;s hype - they will be interested.<p>Hope this helps
