non notable WP:PRODUCT sourced only by primary source manual for product. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As a precursor to RAID-2 and one of maybe only two implementations it is certainly notable. It is also notable for its performance. The article fixes a redlink in the Thinking Machine's article. FWIW searching "datavault" in Wikipedia gives 29 other hits several of which probably should be linked. The fact that there is only one source in the article is a meaningless criterion; there are multiple sources on the web, the one cite was sufficient for this article. At most it might be combined with the Thinking Machine article, but then that should be done with the Connection Machine article also. I made it a separate article to be consistent with the existing articles. Tom94022 (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW it did link the DataVault entry on the RAID page, so now there are two links that will break if the article is deleted Tom94022 (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that with the preponderance of boxes for RAID cabinets, the DataVault's design alone makes it notable.Tom94022 (talk) 17:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - Clear lack of due diligence by the nominator. 159 google book hits, many of which describe the product in detail. A notable part of computing history. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – per GNG. This was a historically significant product, the first commercially available RAID-2 disk system. Looking at the links in WP, most seem to be to later or different topics. But there are 3 important links, from Thinking Machines, Connection Machine, and RAID. There are a lot of hits on Google Scholar from around 1990, when it was the most advanced system of its kind. I added one cite to a book on parallel computing, and one to the original patent. I think this has a lot of potential (WP:HASPOT) for the early implementation of ECC codes. – Margin1522 (talk) 22:38, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
