  The customer appetite for data storage has been constantly increasing. The need for speed has been the prime constraint for the customer application with voluminous data existing in applications like data warehousing and data mining. Flash drives are being unanimously preferred by customers for their storage solutions and deploying the application in a cloud computing environment. Flash drives provided speed, which can be almost three times that of conventional storage disk devices. The declining price of the flash drive is again a constraint that has enabled flash drive or the Solid State Drives (SSD) to be a favorite choice for customers.

  Margins matter. The more Simpson Manufacturing (NYSE: SSD  ) keeps of each buck it earns in revenue, the more money it has to invest in growth, fund new strategic plans, or (gasp!) distribute to shareholders. Healthy margins often separate pretenders from the best stocks in the market. That's why we check up on margins at least once a quarter in this series. I'm looking for the absolute numbers, so I can compare them to current and potential competitors, and any trend that may tell me how strong Simpson Manufacturing's competitive position could be.
