As one Apple founder takes a break from creating tech, Woz is joining Enterprize SSD company Fusion-IO as chief scientist.
Fusion-IO’s main product is ioDrive, with “performance comparable to DRAM and storage capacity on par with today’s hard disks”.
I just hope Woz makes something fun for us geeks who aren’t in corporate IT to play with. [NYT]

Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 12:21 PMThe Woz is just a figurehead. He hasn’t actively done anything groundbreaking with hardware since the early 80′s. he’s just there to promote a bad product. I mean come on. Chief Scientist? What does a Chief Scientist who dances on network television do?
I’m not just trying to besmirch the Woz. Quite the opposite. I like the Woz. I just don’t like Fusion Io. I have had 4 of their drives and all 4 have failed. I’m on my fifth and it doesn’t operate as fast as they claim. Personally I wouldn’t get one, but I have to evaluate the dumb thing for work.
