With three weeks to travel, there really wasn’t anywhere I couldn’t get to. To this end, I somehow managed to drive 3800km around the island. When most roads (non freeway) are limited to 60km/h or less, that’s quite a bit of time spent in the car. Since I’ve been to Taiwan before, I already knew some of the places I wanted to visit – there was the view over Taipei showing the iconic Taipei 101, the beaches of Hualien county, the rock formations of the North East Coast and the mountainous region all along the East Coast. I started my journey by heading South. Jinglongshan, a little north of Sun Moon Lake was my first stop. I’d been here before and knew it offered a good possibility of sunrise from the top viewpoint. I pitched my tent at the top viewpoint and bedded down for the night. At around 3am the alarm sounded and I lazily dragged myself out of my slumber – jet lag should have made it easy to get up at that time, but I think the heat and the long drive hadn’t helped and I was wiped out. I started to setup but quickly realized that actually it wasn’t going to be such a great sunrise looking into the sun and instead I’d be better heading to the other side of the hill and waiting for the sun to rise across the tea plantation. This is one of the important things in photography – you have a plan, but you shouldn’t be afraid to modify the plan if you can see it’s not going to work out. After Jinlongshan I continued south and over the following days found myself traveling around Kaohsiung and Kenting down in the deep south of the Island. The south is characterized by beaches around the fringe and forests in the middle, so a nicely varied environment to explore. On the south west I found it was really quite busy – it’s a popular tourist destination for Tawianese because of the good weather and sandy beaches. But that’s not what I primarily look for – I prefer the less populated, less visited areas. Heading to the east coast, indeed it was much quieter. I stopped at Longpan for sunrise one morning, having scouted it out the evening before. It’s not a long drive from Kenting so I assumed it would be busy – it’s such a beautiful view that many flock there to watch the sun bring in the day by cresting the horizon. I therefore planned to get there nice and early. I usually aim to be on location and mostly ready to shoot an hour before the sun is due up. This gives time to capture the, often more interesting, pre-dawn colors in the sky. My prior planning proved a wise move – I was all set up and then gradually as sunrise approached people started appearing from all directions. What amazed me though, was that as soon as the sun had crested the horizon they began to drift away, firstly in ones and twos and almost like a great exodus. And I was left alone, staring out to the ocean, wondering why they’d left when there was still so much beauty to be seen…and captured. Gradually I worked my way back up the North, traveling along the East Coast road, right next to the Pacific Ocean, crossing the tropic of Cancer as I went. The following weeks saw me take in the beaches of Hualien, the majestic splendor of Taroko gorge and the thin air of Hehuanshan, where I camped for a night to shoot sunrise over the mountains. Hiking up to 3422m to camp, in air that only has around 67% of the oxygen content at sea level, is certainly a challenge, especially carrying all your own sleeping kit. But the views at sunrise make the struggle and strain worth it. In all the travel, in the tropics, up the top of mountains, in a hot air balloon and despite a major typhoon, the HTC 10 never skipped a beat. I have been highly impressed with the image quality and having now seen some of the images printed really quite large, they hold up very well – just like having a high end compact camera with you at all times. The combination of internal SanDisk iNAND and a removable 200GB microSD card was a potent combination too. Performance, capacity, durability and convenience makes for a pleasant user experience and frees you up to capture the scene rather than worry about technology. All in all, it was a truly EPIC adventure around a country that more westerners really should put on their travel planner, accompanied by a smartphone that allowed me to capture the beauty of the island.

Industries August 30, 2016 | Cloud | IoT | Mobile | mobile imaging | Photography The Card Versus the Cloud August 30, 2016 | Cloud | IoT | Mobile | mobile imaging | Photography By Dinesh Bahal Card or cloud? That is the question that consumers and businesses will be asking themselves more and more frequently when they think about storing and sharing video, photos and other files – whether to upload the files to the cloud or save them on a local storage device like a microSD™ memory card , SD™ card, high-capacity USB drive or even a solid-state drive . The impulsive reaction might be cloud. Isn’t everything going to the cloud? Plus, companies like Google and Box offer gigabytes of storage for free. The idea of “free” storage sounds like a win-win for consumers, especially in light of today’s advancing video and photo technologies that deliver incredible clarity, depth and color – all of which result in significantly larger file sizes. But it turns out that there’s no such thing as a free gigabyte. A Brief History Cloud storage itself might be free, but the network fees for transferring videos or photos to the cloud can quickly add up to substantial amounts each month, especially because many smart devices now are able to take high-resolution photos and videos – large files that eat up data quickly during transfers from connected devices to the cloud. Most of these transfers now take place over 4G networks, which makes the data usage even more invisible because of the rapid speeds at which files are uploaded or downloaded. Nearly one in five wireless customers paid data overage charges in the last half of 2015, according to a January 2016 study from  Cowen & Company . That number is even greater among tablet users: 24 percent of owners with 4G paid an overage charge in the same time period, according to the study. There are a number of factors that contribute to this surge in data use and consumer need for reliable expandable storage instead of or alongside the cloud. Everyone’s a Photographer Partially responsible for the boom in data use is the renewed interest in digital photography, aided by the high-quality camera almost everyone carries around in their pocket in the form of a smartphone. Since 1826, when the first picture was taken, photography has undergone a complete transformation. Globally, we’re now capturing more than  1 trillion images a year , or 114 million per hour, which adds up to an enormous amount of data. The vast majority of these photos are snapped by phones or digital cameras; in fact,  IDC  estimates that by 2019, 90 percent of all captured images will come from mobile devices. Shooting on mobile devices makes it even easier to upload, post and share, but the steady increase in megapixels, resolution and file size means higher data use, too. However, there are a number of physical storage options that can help consumers alleviate shrinking factory-standard memory and overage fee woes. Many users can take advantage of removable storage, including microSD memory cards, while others can use specially designed dual USB drives for devices that do not offer expandable storage. The wide variety of available products not only allows users to quickly increase device storage, but also provides an efficient way to back up content without relying on data caps or network strength. In addition, physical storage can help alleviate security concerns. If consumers are wary of uploading personal content to the cloud, storage options like microSD memory cards and SD cards can lessen concerns, assuring consumers that the data is secure and close at hand. Content on Demand There is no denying that smart devices pulling content from the internet have access to a vast repository of music, images and videos that no one individual could possibly match, but being able to find something does not always translate into easy viewing or access. Networks are working ‘round the clock to grow signal strength, but in the meantime, the burgeoning appetite for content never ceases. Building, expanding and upgrading networks requires construction crews, work permits, transcontinental fiber cables and antennas. Companies continue to improve networks, but slowdowns can still flare up, especially during “internet rush hour.” In addition, files being downloaded or streamed from sites continue to increase in size as high-fidelity content becomes more widely available. In these situations, local storage such as microSD memory cards and SD cards can provide users with a frustration-free way to access music, images or videos on demand with little to no delay. There is never any need to worry about peak usage hours, Internet speeds or buffering time. In addition, given the technology in today’s cards, users can easily watch 4K ultra-high-definition footage without stutter or delay – something that would require a premium broadband connection to achieve. The Smart Home As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to extend into the home, local storage will be further favored over the cloud. There will be a tremendous number of objects gathering far more data than we currently collect, and often that data will have to be acted on rapidly. Connected devices are embraced for their instant analytics and adjustments – there is no time to send it to the cloud. While these devices need fast processors, onboard local storage will help ensure data can be accessed quickly and securely stored. We need to be thinking about different architectures,” said Intel’s Bridget Karlin on a recent episode of the “Internet of Things with Game Changers”  podcast . She estimates that 40 percent of IoT data will be stored, analyzed and effectively live in consumer devices rather than a centralized data center to minimize latency concerns for end users. The Power in Your Hands Consumers rarely give a thought to where their data is physically stored. Their chief concerns are whether it’s safe, available when they need it, easily accessible and reliable. Wireless networks and internet access provide tremendous opportunities to create, save and share, but they are not absolute when it comes to storage. As long as data caps, wireless network gaps and security concerns continue to exist, there will always be challenges retrieving content over open networks. The ability to store content locally will be necessary as long as the creation and consumption of data continues to grow at its rapid pace. Whether users are looking to capture moments, enjoy digital entertainment, or want a home that does all the thinking for them, there are local storage options, such as microSD memory cards , available or already at work. They are a fundamental part of creating a consistent, seamless and enjoyable user experience.     This article was originally published on SD Association’s website at https://www.sdcard.org/press/thoughtleadership/index.html By Dinesh Bahal Additional Content Suggested Posts The Petabytes of Data Behind Montreux Jazz Festival’s Legacy How Smart Caching Lets You Run Business at the Speed of Memory Bringing Ludicrous Mode to the Data Center the Easy Way Western Digital’s New Collaboration with UCSC on Genomics Sequencing Could Accelerate Results Get our latest news and stories delivered to your inbox Please provide a valid email address.

Most of these transfers now take place over 4G networks, which makes the data usage even more invisible because of the rapid speeds at which files are uploaded or downloaded. Nearly one in five wireless customers paid data overage charges in the last half of 2015, according to a January 2016 study from  Cowen & Company . That number is even greater among tablet users: 24 percent of owners with 4G paid an overage charge in the same time period, according to the study. There are a number of factors that contribute to this surge in data use and consumer need for reliable expandable storage instead of or alongside the cloud. Everyone’s a Photographer Partially responsible for the boom in data use is the renewed interest in digital photography, aided by the high-quality camera almost everyone carries around in their pocket in the form of a smartphone. Since 1826, when the first picture was taken, photography has undergone a complete transformation. Globally, we’re now capturing more than  1 trillion images a year , or 114 million per hour, which adds up to an enormous amount of data. The vast majority of these photos are snapped by phones or digital cameras; in fact,  IDC  estimates that by 2019, 90 percent of all captured images will come from mobile devices. Shooting on mobile devices makes it even easier to upload, post and share, but the steady increase in megapixels, resolution and file size means higher data use, too. However, there are a number of physical storage options that can help consumers alleviate shrinking factory-standard memory and overage fee woes. Many users can take advantage of removable storage, including microSD memory cards, while others can use specially designed dual USB drives for devices that do not offer expandable storage. The wide variety of available products not only allows users to quickly increase device storage, but also provides an efficient way to back up content without relying on data caps or network strength. In addition, physical storage can help alleviate security concerns. If consumers are wary of uploading personal content to the cloud, storage options like microSD memory cards and SD cards can lessen concerns, assuring consumers that the data is secure and close at hand. Content on Demand There is no denying that smart devices pulling content from the internet have access to a vast repository of music, images and videos that no one individual could possibly match, but being able to find something does not always translate into easy viewing or access. Networks are working ‘round the clock to grow signal strength, but in the meantime, the burgeoning appetite for content never ceases. Building, expanding and upgrading networks requires construction crews, work permits, transcontinental fiber cables and antennas. Companies continue to improve networks, but slowdowns can still flare up, especially during “internet rush hour.” In addition, files being downloaded or streamed from sites continue to increase in size as high-fidelity content becomes more widely available. In these situations, local storage such as microSD memory cards and SD cards can provide users with a frustration-free way to access music, images or videos on demand with little to no delay. There is never any need to worry about peak usage hours, Internet speeds or buffering time. In addition, given the technology in today’s cards, users can easily watch 4K ultra-high-definition footage without stutter or delay – something that would require a premium broadband connection to achieve. The Smart Home As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to extend into the home, local storage will be further favored over the cloud. There will be a tremendous number of objects gathering far more data than we currently collect, and often that data will have to be acted on rapidly. Connected devices are embraced for their instant analytics and adjustments – there is no time to send it to the cloud. While these devices need fast processors, onboard local storage will help ensure data can be accessed quickly and securely stored. We need to be thinking about different architectures,” said Intel’s Bridget Karlin on a recent episode of the “Internet of Things with Game Changers”  podcast . She estimates that 40 percent of IoT data will be stored, analyzed and effectively live in consumer devices rather than a centralized data center to minimize latency concerns for end users. The Power in Your Hands Consumers rarely give a thought to where their data is physically stored. Their chief concerns are whether it’s safe, available when they need it, easily accessible and reliable. Wireless networks and internet access provide tremendous opportunities to create, save and share, but they are not absolute when it comes to storage. As long as data caps, wireless network gaps and security concerns continue to exist, there will always be challenges retrieving content over open networks. The ability to store content locally will be necessary as long as the creation and consumption of data continues to grow at its rapid pace. Whether users are looking to capture moments, enjoy digital entertainment, or want a home that does all the thinking for them, there are local storage options, such as microSD memory cards , available or already at work. They are a fundamental part of creating a consistent, seamless and enjoyable user experience.     This article was originally published on SD Association’s website at https://www.sdcard.org/press/thoughtleadership/index.html By Dinesh Bahal Additional Content Suggested Posts The Petabytes of Data Behind Montreux Jazz Festival’s Legacy How Smart Caching Lets You Run Business at the Speed of Memory Bringing Ludicrous Mode to the Data Center the Easy Way Western Digital’s New Collaboration with UCSC on Genomics Sequencing Could Accelerate Results Get our latest news and stories delivered to your inbox Please provide a valid email address.

But Hugo Scagnetti rides because he can walk, and the ride he has undertaken is like no other. Back in May, Mr. Scagnetti left Madrid on a Yamaha Super Ténéré XT1200Z with the intent of being the first solo motorcyclist to circumnavigate the globe. And with a nod to the novel by Jules Verne , he plans to complete the 23,000-mile journey in just 80 days. This is no mere whim. It’s the fulfillment of a promise made after a disease called avascular necrosis (AVN) left Mr. Scagnetti unable to walk without crutches. He vowed that if he regained the ability to walk unassisted, he’d ride the world to raise funds and awareness in support of biomedical technology breakthroughs and research into the field of stem cell tissue regeneration — particularly for children. Thanks to the stem cell work coming out of the REBORNE Project in Europe, Mr. Scagnetti did regain the ability to walk without crutches. In response, he began reaching out — to companies including Telefónica, Yamaha, SanDisk, and others — and the Telefónica Yamaha Globalrider 80 project was borne. Follow @hugoscagnetti and the @GLOBALRIDER_80 project to raise awareness of AVN research Click To Tweet Since starting his journey, Mr. Scagnetti has ridden across France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan to arrive at the eastern edge of Russia. He recently flew to San Francisco where he’ll continue across the U.S. and then fly over to the U.K. to complete the final leg of his round-the-world journey. On July 27, the 61 st day of his journey, Mr. Scagnetti visited SanDisk’s offices in Milpitas to thank us for our sponsorship and to talk about his experiences. “I’ve got SanDisk microSD cards in drone and the other four cameras on me as well as  SanDisk SSDs in the IoT gateway on my motorcycle,” said Mr. Scagnetti, “they’re helping me document every aspect of this amazing journey. There are times when the roads are incredibly rough and the bike is bouncing all over, but I’ve never had a problem with the SSDs recording and communicating data captured by all the sensors on me and my bike. I was by myself, but I was never alone – thanks to the IoT gateway that keeps me connected. When asked what was the most eye-opening about the ride, Mr. Scagnetti passionately responded: “The people,” he said, “the human spirit. I’ve ridden through areas that have been devastated by wars and natural disasters, places that are supposed to be dangerous, yet the people I met even there are warm and welcoming. They are the testament to humanity that really brings home the sense of being connected. “One of the things that’s great about this ride,” Mr. Scagnetti goes on to say, “is that I am able to share this journey with anyone the whole way. Not only can I relay my personal experiences and the excitement of the ride itself via the web , but I am also able to share information and images about the people I meet, the changing landscape, and much more.” Indeed, Mr. Scagnetti’s motorbike and body are wirelessly connected with devices and technologies for the duration of his journey. Cameras on his bike and body (as well as on a drone flying overhead) will record and upload videos and images to the Internet via the IoT gateway on his bike. Sensors in the glove and belt he wears will capture information about his vital signs (pulse, respiration, stress, etc.) as he speeds along the roads. Other sensors on his bike will keep track of everything from tire pressure to engine oil levels and send that information back to Yamaha, where machine learning systems are analyzing the data both to help keep Mr. Scagnetti’s ride working properly at every turn and to drive improvements in fuel efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, the Globalrider team is using descriptive data collected from all the sensors combined with local news and weather forecast to generate predictive data to help the ride be safer and smoother. GPS and telemetry sensors on the bike help Mr. Scagnetti and his team know exactly where he is at every moment of his amazing journey. Indeed, when Mr. Scagnetti’s 700-pound motorcycle fell over — as it has on two occasions —the Globalrider team knew about the falls the moment they happened — as well as exactly where the falls had fallen place, and what parts might need to be repaired. From the biomedical sensors Mr. Scagnetti was wearing, they also knew just how he was doing and they were able to help him get back on the road in short order. “I’m kind of a walking showcase for the IoT,” says Mr. Scagnetti. “I’m totally connected to the world. I’m doing this ride solo, but the truth is that I’m never alone.” “SanDisk is proud to be providing the critical storage technologies capturing all this data,” said Oded Sagee, Sr. Director and GM of Connected Solutions at SanDisk of Western Digital. “This is going to be a once in a life-time experience for Mr. Scagnetti as well as for all the technology sponsors who are learning from all the data collected along the journey, and there’s not a second of it his team is going to want to lose. Our job as a provider of leading edge storage products is to make sure that all the images and information are captured, recorded and communicated to the cloud in a timely, reliable manner. It’s what we do well, and we’re happy to help amplify Mr. Scagnetti’s voice in the service of raising awareness about amazing biomedical technologies that are available today, the need for more stem-cell research, and the importance of emerging technologies that can bring people together and help make our world a better, greener place to live in.”   By Charlene Wan Charlene Wan is Marketing Programs Director for mobile and connected market segments at Western Digital.

Not only can I relay my personal experiences and the excitement of the ride itself via the web , but I am also able to share information and images about the people I meet, the changing landscape, and much more.” Indeed, Mr. Scagnetti’s motorbike and body are wirelessly connected with devices and technologies for the duration of his journey. Cameras on his bike and body (as well as on a drone flying overhead) will record and upload videos and images to the Internet via the IoT gateway on his bike. Sensors in the glove and belt he wears will capture information about his vital signs (pulse, respiration, stress, etc.) as he speeds along the roads. Other sensors on his bike will keep track of everything from tire pressure to engine oil levels and send that information back to Yamaha, where machine learning systems are analyzing the data both to help keep Mr. Scagnetti’s ride working properly at every turn and to drive improvements in fuel efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, the Globalrider team is using descriptive data collected from all the sensors combined with local news and weather forecast to generate predictive data to help the ride be safer and smoother. GPS and telemetry sensors on the bike help Mr. Scagnetti and his team know exactly where he is at every moment of his amazing journey. Indeed, when Mr. Scagnetti’s 700-pound motorcycle fell over — as it has on two occasions —the Globalrider team knew about the falls the moment they happened — as well as exactly where the falls had fallen place, and what parts might need to be repaired. From the biomedical sensors Mr. Scagnetti was wearing, they also knew just how he was doing and they were able to help him get back on the road in short order. “I’m kind of a walking showcase for the IoT,” says Mr. Scagnetti. “I’m totally connected to the world. I’m doing this ride solo, but the truth is that I’m never alone.” “SanDisk is proud to be providing the critical storage technologies capturing all this data,” said Oded Sagee, Sr. Director and GM of Connected Solutions at SanDisk of Western Digital. “This is going to be a once in a life-time experience for Mr. Scagnetti as well as for all the technology sponsors who are learning from all the data collected along the journey, and there’s not a second of it his team is going to want to lose. Our job as a provider of leading edge storage products is to make sure that all the images and information are captured, recorded and communicated to the cloud in a timely, reliable manner. It’s what we do well, and we’re happy to help amplify Mr. Scagnetti’s voice in the service of raising awareness about amazing biomedical technologies that are available today, the need for more stem-cell research, and the importance of emerging technologies that can bring people together and help make our world a better, greener place to live in.”   By Charlene Wan Charlene Wan is Marketing Programs Director for mobile and connected market segments at Western Digital.

But Hugo Scagnetti rides because he can walk, and the ride he has undertaken is like no other. Back in May, Mr. Scagnetti left Madrid on a Yamaha Super Ténéré XT1200Z with the intent of being the first solo motorcyclist to circumnavigate the globe. And with a nod to the novel by Jules Verne , he plans to complete the 23,000-mile journey in just 80 days. This is no mere whim. It’s the fulfillment of a promise made after a disease called avascular necrosis (AVN) left Mr. Scagnetti unable to walk without crutches. He vowed that if he regained the ability to walk unassisted, he’d ride the world to raise funds and awareness in support of biomedical technology breakthroughs and research into the field of stem cell tissue regeneration — particularly for children. Thanks to the stem cell work coming out of the REBORNE Project in Europe, Mr. Scagnetti did regain the ability to walk without crutches. In response, he began reaching out — to companies including Telefónica, Yamaha, SanDisk, and others — and the Telefónica Yamaha Globalrider 80 project was borne. Follow @hugoscagnetti and the @GLOBALRIDER_80 project to raise awareness of AVN research Click To Tweet Since starting his journey, Mr. Scagnetti has ridden across France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan to arrive at the eastern edge of Russia. He recently flew to San Francisco where he’ll continue across the U.S. and then fly over to the U.K. to complete the final leg of his round-the-world journey. On July 27, the 61 st day of his journey, Mr. Scagnetti visited SanDisk’s offices in Milpitas to thank us for our sponsorship and to talk about his experiences. “I’ve got SanDisk microSD cards in drone and the other four cameras on me as well as  SanDisk SSDs in the IoT gateway on my motorcycle,” said Mr. Scagnetti, “they’re helping me document every aspect of this amazing journey. There are times when the roads are incredibly rough and the bike is bouncing all over, but I’ve never had a problem with the SSDs recording and communicating data captured by all the sensors on me and my bike. I was by myself, but I was never alone – thanks to the IoT gateway that keeps me connected. When asked what was the most eye-opening about the ride, Mr. Scagnetti passionately responded: “The people,” he said, “the human spirit. I’ve ridden through areas that have been devastated by wars and natural disasters, places that are supposed to be dangerous, yet the people I met even there are warm and welcoming.
