KONTRON chipDISK/128-IDE - IDE compatible flash-harddisk with 1 GByte Simple Type: Accessory

The chipDISK is a fully IDE-compatible flash harddisk and was designed to replace the customary harddisk. The chipDISK is based upon FLASH-TECHNOLOGY and is absolutely insensitive to tremors, vibrations, impacts, fluctuations in temperature and magnetic fields. The chipDISK is therefore best suited for use in mobile equipment and systems which need to withstand severe influences. The minimal mechanical measurement allow its employment in very compact pieces of equipment. The power consumption of the chipDISK is only a fraction of that needed by a “normal” harddisk which therefore considerably lengthens its amount of potential operation time. A hard disk contoller is integrated in the chipDISK which insures the complete compatibility with a „normal“ harddisk on one hand, and which conducts the organisation of the flashcomponents on the other. Potential defects in the flash-cells are automatically recognised and dealt with accordingly. Data protection is therefore considerably hightened. Data transfers up to PIO Mode 2 are supported. The chipDISK is designed to be directly plugged (without a cable) onto a 2 mm pin rail with the pin cover of a 2.5” IDE-hard disk. The chipDISK-IDE can be directly employed on most Kontron PC/104-CPU modules and Slot-CPU cards.
