IDE Flash Drive Delivers Ultra DMA-100 Performance

Outpacing hard disk drives and capable of working in unfriendly environments, the I35FB flash drive sustains random access read/write rates of up to 30 MB/s. The drive relies on a media controller that adapts flash memory to the Ultra DMA-100 interface, a preferred standard in industrial automa- tion and medical equipment applications. Via a standard IDE connector, the drive supports PIO Mode 0-4, multi-word DMA Mode 0-2, or UDMA-100 interfaces. Other features include ECC, wear-leveling, spare-sector mapping, 5V operation, and master or slave IDE configuration. The drive is available in commercial, enhanced and industrial temperature range versions. Price for a 12-GB, commercial temperature range drive is $12,324. ADTRON, Phoenix, AZ. (602) 735-0300.
