Why cheap hard disks are slower than expensive disks

April 30th, 2009

Curt Monash is a database analyst. He usually blogs about enterprise databases and not the embedded kind. Nevertheless his posts are really interesting, therefore i added him to my blogroll.

This post is about harddisks and why cheap (SATA) harddisks are much slower than expensive ones (Fibre channel/SAS).

hamsterdb: FOSS license exceptions

April 30th, 2009

In order to allow linking of hamsterdb with more open source projects, i added FOSS license exceptions. These exceptions allow linking with BSD licensed libraries, Apache, LGPL and others.

Here’s the legal stuff and the list of licenses: http://hamsterdb.com/licensing/exceptions

I’m absolutely willing to add more licenses upon request.
