According to Transcend, with robust, non-volatile flash memory, the SATA flash module is ideal for use in harsher, more demanding industrial environments.
Transcend has announced availability of its newest industrial memory solution, a high-speed Serial ATA (SATA) Flash Module, in India. The module is claimed to be specifically designed for use in thin clients, blade servers, ultra-compact sub-notebooks, and space-limited industrial installations.
The new solid-state flash module offers speed in a lightweight compact package. It comes with a direct motherboard connection and a low-profile design that saves space and does away with the need for bulky cables that hog space and restrict airflow, the company said.
According to Transcend, with robust, non-volatile flash memory, the SATA flash module is ideal for use in harsher, more demanding industrial environments.
The SATA flash module is smaller than conventional 2.5-inches and 3.5-inches SATA hard disk drives; it is claimed to use far less power, and promises vastly improved shock- and vibration- resistance, more data retention durability, and instant access speeds with zero spin-up or seek time.
The module comes with built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) and advanced wear leveling algorithm that aims to ensure long-term data transfer and storage for professional computing applications. It supports Ultra DMA Mode 4 with transfer speeds of up to 1.5Gb/s, is RoHS-compliant, and is more silent, cool, and power-saving, according to Transcend.
The SATA flash modules are available in 1GB and 2GB capacities in both vertical (male SATA data and power connectors) and horizontal (female SATA connector with mini 2-pin power and mechanical write-protection switch) versions to satisfy industrial application requirements. They are priced at Rs 8,500 and come with a three-year warranty.

Something like this has been used in the Asus eee PC. Pricing is ridiculous and a consumer cannot open up an ultra compact laptop and install it. I don't see a market for it.
