The goal of this special issue of ACM Transactions on Storage is to provide a comprehensive description of these technologies, both new and old. Each article, discussing a specific technology, aims to provide a definitive overview of the technology’s history, evolution, operation, and current and future trends. The articles in this issue can serve as a starting point to anyone interested in learning about the technology in question. This can help new students to learn about a given technology in one focused article, and researchers can learn about all the known properties and issues of such a technology to better design future storage solutions that utilize one or more of these technologies. We anticipate that this issue’s articles will serve as the definitive descriptions of the covered technology at the time of its publication.
