Since there is no feedback, I'm going to combine the two articles object storage and object storage device and encompass both topics, as they are different ways to accomplish similar ends.

This article deals with object semantics at the storage protocol level (SCSI) versus object storage at the software architecture level. The latter is far more common, yet searches for "object storage" lead to this article, which confuses matters. How do we address this?

I've just done a massive copyedit. (My initial intention was to update the article for the fact that osd-r10.pdf is no longer available for free from the T10 website, but I got carried away.)

At present, this article has no explicit references. The problem here is that the core references are not suitable: an official copy of OSD-1 costs at least US$30, OSD2 will cost US$30 as soon as it becomes an official standard and OSD3 is still early-draft quality. So we need to use secondary sources instead. The articles listed in the External Links section are probably the place to start.

We should also cite the key papers by the guys mentioned in the History section. (And why do we have the 2003 Mesnier/Ganger/Riedel paper as an External Link?)

So the article needs work, strictly speaking, and I don't have time to do that work. OTOH, it is already a useful article about an interesting technology.
