Show HN: New storage technology

Hi,

I have developed a new technology to storage data in computer hard drive. It does have a native compression method that is transparent to OS and makes disk access faster than traditional SSD.

It is enabled by some math formulas combined with existing programming principles. A practical implementation has been done in a windows virtual driver.

As an example: You can create a virtual machine disk and install a 10GB Windows while in physical storage it only costs a few hundred megabytes, 100MB, 300MB depending on optimization. This short storage allow for memory caching making access way much faster while it remains non-volatile.

Imagine companies with 10,000 VMs with much faster desktops and storage cost reduction on orders of magnitude. That is what can be done here.

Few video illustrations below.

Problem I'm having is I emailed several research groups and email is ignored, people don't even click the video link. Any suggestions to take this further?

Thanks Lucas
