Disk on Module

Disk on Module (DOM) is a modular form of flash memory, which was originally intended for industry, but gradually also interesting is for private users. Using a DOM as a replacement for a standard hard drive can assemble a PC that has no moving parts or noise-generating more if CPU and power supply are passively cooled and is no optical drive.

An important advantage is that this kind of media can not be damaged by shock. If the data on these media often described (such as when used as a system disk ), it is recommended to use modules, which allow a certain number of read and write cycles.

There is the flash modules as DOM in different designs (IDE 40 or 44 pin) for inserting into the IDE port on the motherboard / controller or 2.5 " / 3.5" hard drive enclosure with 40/44-Pin-IDE - connection or as a compact flash card. USB Flash Modules are among the latest technological achievements. These flash disks have appeared in the following designs: 2.5 "IDE Flash Disk, Industrial CF Card, Wide -Temperature, Secure and embedded USB Disk-On - Module, with 40 or 44 pin or in a horizontal or vertical design (USB). Capacities range depending on the make and model of 4 MB to 16 GB.
