Fast, Reliable Disk on Module Series from Transcend

Fast,
Reliable Disk on Module Series Now Offered by Transcend

Taipei,
Taiwan, November 28, 2001/Various Agencies—Today’s
new computing systems such as Internet Appliances, Industrial PCs, Set-Top
Boxes, etc. need hard disk drive (HDD) memory, but their constrained case
volumes and harsh operating environments often make conventional HDDs
impractical. These systems can now be installed with the memory capacity they
need with a Disk
on Module
from Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend). A Disk
on Module
from Transcend can be easily installed into any standard 40-pin IDE connector to
provide reliable, robust storage capacity. 
Smaller in size than a SO DIMM (Small Outline DIMM) memory module you
would install in a notebook computer, a Disk
on Module
is able to fit into systems that don’t have room for a conventional HDD.
Available in both vertical and horizontal form factors, and a range of
capacities, Transcend has a Disk
on Module
to fit every need. 

With
no moving parts to be damaged by vibration, a Disk
on Module
from Transcend is even better suited for rugged environments than any HDD,
making them ideally suited for use in computing devices that may be subjected to
constant vibrations or sudden shocks. The lack of moving parts also means zero
noise generation, which is ideal for medical data devices, web phones, or web
pads. The Disk
on Module
also has a faster seek time and data transfer rate than conventional HDDs. A Disk
on Module
from Transcend is an extremely flexible, highly durable, cost effective data
storage product.
