imageApple co-founder Steve “Woz” Wozniak has taken a post at Fusion-io, a start-up company “that tweaks computers to let them tap vast amounts of storage at very quick rates,” reports the New York Times.

The three-year-old company, based in Salt Lake City, is expected to announce Thursday that Wozniak, already a member of Fusion-io’s advisory board, will become its chief scientist, the article adds. The company is a provider of enterprise solid-state technology and high-performance I/O solutions.

In December, Fusion-ion announced that its ioDrive, an enterprise solid-state data storage technology, has become the first solid-state storage solution to achieve IBM ServerProven designation. The ioDrive is a PCI-Express-based, direct-attached storage solution that purportedly has 100 times the capacity density and 10 times the capacity per dollar of DRAM.
