Gli SSD esistono in diverse forme e interfacce, come 2,5”, M.2, U.2 e mSATA.
Ognuno di questi formati è progettato per esigenze diverse di prestazioni, spazio fisico e tipo di connessione.
Ecco un rapido confronto tra i principali form factor degli SSD 😎👇

Silly thought, I wonder how hard it is for a fast MCU or FPGA to emulate a SATA III disk interface?
If you could make a mSATA or M.2 SATA module (which are getting rare and expensive) which took a stack of lower-density MMC cards or eMMC chips and put them in a RAID-5 style arrangement… you could re-use existing flash media stock, possibly even replace faulty parts as they wear out.
One thing I'm conscious of is the SSD on this Toughpad.
It's a 128GB mSATA device made by Toshiba (THNSNF12). It's probably seen a few drive writes by now.
Now, back in the day OCZ were early pioneers of SSDs… and I had a work colleague that swore by them at first. He had one in a fire-engine red Dell laptop and loved the speed the thing gave him … until the day it failed (within the warranty period).
Pulled the SSD out, put the HDD back in, RMAed the SSD. A replacement came, he put it in, ran with that for a number of months, then it too, failed. After the third RMAed drive, "sworn by" became "sworn at".
Toshiba bought OCZ in 2016, so I'm a bit leery about this SSD.
That said, mSATA is not a common form factor now, so I guess I'll have to take what I can get. The contenders seem to be Kingston, Advantech, Transcend, ADATA, or some brand I've never heard of.
Kingston RAM runs some of my servers, and I've used their SD cards before. That said, I recall an experiment from 2011 that tested a number of 60GB SSDs to destruction (SSD Endurance Test) and I seem to recall Kingston being one of the early failures … but search engines being what they are today, I can't seem to dig that old site up.
We'll see how this one goes… as I say beggars can't be choosers, and this is a rare form-factor now.

I've not been having much success with CF to IDE adapters in my gorgeous #IBM #Thinkpad760CD, so I'm hoping this #mSATA to #IDE adapter will do the job. Though it seems to be impossible to find mSATA SSDs in sizes smaller than 64GB.
之前聊到 #SATADIMM 有提到說其實解決了 M.2、mSATA的一些應用難題
這次來介紹另外一個較多人採用的解決方案 #DOM Disk on Module
DOM 要解決的問題
就是有些裝置它只是需要一個能開機的磁區
但是為此要放置一顆硬碟成本太高
因此有人提出了 Disk on Module 把快閃晶片(Flash) 封裝成 IDE 或是 SATA 的介面
在設備原有的 IDE 或 SATA上
再透過額外的外接供電
就能獲得一個儲存空間
這個在 #mSATA 以及 M.2 ( #NGFF ) 推出前約十年就出現的構想
有段時間廣泛被應用在 POS機、伺服器與工控設備
這樣的技術在 #innodisk 稱為 #SATADOM
而在 #Suppermicro 則稱為 #SuperDOM
總得來說都是類似的設備
部分的板卡廠也會推出相應的插座
特化 SATA 插槽的供電能力
讓 DOM 的安裝不需要外接供電
總得來說
DOM 都是一種相對無痛轉移且相當節省空間的方案
The Windows XP setup music! Not just the first time it's coming out of this laptop since 2004, but possibly the first time ever (at least in the outside world), because it was pre-installed when I had it.

Possibly the fastest #WindowsXP installation of my life! Yes, it's a #Kingston #mSATA drive, so from a reputable brand...SSDs are fast...but still had to operate through an #SSD to #IDE converter and 2004 hardware, so was not expecting it to be this fast!
