1. Storage appliance vs Human Being
Being a data storage guy with lately developed interest in spirituality, I thought of creating an
analogy between Hunan and a hardware storage life cycle, It doesn’t matter if it makes sense to you
or not, but I kind of relate to it. Again, it's just a thought!

DRAM = new writes Conscious mind = new thoughts, actions &
experiences
Disk (spindle or SSD) = de-staged writes Sub-conscious mind = de-staged thoughts &
experiences
Whats In is what’s out (IOPS) Karma (cause & effect = actions &
consequences)
Data can be overwritten Emotional behavior pattern can be changed (
overwritten) via positive affirmations
Requests (read) are just played out Actions precedes previous experiences (auto-
pilot mode)
DRAM is faster Conscious mind is slow = 40 bits/ sec
De-staging is slower (even with SSD) when
compared to DRAM
Subconscious mind = super-fast = 40 million
bits/sec
(ref: Dr. Bruce Lipton)
High latency is a result of internal manifestation
of fragmentation, competing cpu & ram
resources due to overload
Erratic emotional behavior is a result of
distractions, un-mindfulness, manifestation of
negative thoughts etc.
Data from old ailing hardware storage is
migrated to new hardware
Consciousness moves from physical body to the
new body
