FlashChip Disk IDE Card Overview

FlashChip DISK is a flash-memory-based device for mass data storage. Being different from the conventional IDE, the flash technology can maximize the capacity of the disk in a minimum size. It uses ATA controller chip and true IDE interface that is electronically compatible with an IDE disk drive. The Non-volatile design requires no battery and external power to maintain data stored. A solid-state feature offers very high access performance, which shortens mechanical seek and rotation time. It may also offer very high data transfer capability. Furthermore, the true plug-and-play function allows high performance but low power consumption, and the rugged mechanical layout resists shock and vibration.

With those characteristics, nowadays, FlashChip Disk is widely applied to industrial PC and special devices for mass data storage.
