Transcend releases 8GB 40-pin IDE Flash Module (Vertical Type) (Press Release)
Transcend is proud to launch the 8GB 40-pin Vertical High Speed IFM (IDE Flash Module), the highest capacity among this type of product worldwide. This IFM (Vertical Type) is compact in size, measuring just 61.0mm x 26.9mm x 7.1mm, and has strong data retention.

The 40-pin IDE Flash Memory Module is ideal to be used in harsher, more demanding industrial environments such as industrial PCs, embedded systems, medical instruments, factory automation systems, network infrastructures and other industrial equipment. Compared to a hard disk drive, an IFM offers better shockproof effect, longer data durability, and higher data transfer rate. With built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) functionality and lower power consumption, Transcend’s IFM ensures highly reliable data transfer for high-end computing applications.

Transcend uses only original SLC (Single-Level-Cell) NAND Flash chips in its IFMs, which provide higher writing speeds. Transcend’s 8GB 40-pin IDE Flash Modules (Vertical Type) are the perfect choice for those who need performance and reliability. Transcend offers capacities ranging from 32MB to 8GB for different industrial needs.

Product Features:
  • Fully compatible with devices and Operating Systems that support the IDE standard
  • Built-in ECC functionality ensures highly reliable data transfer
  • Lower power consumption

"Transcend is proud to launch the 8GB 40-pin Vertical High Speed IFM (IDE Flash Module)....

SATA is where it's at.

Oh really? *scoffs* Well maybe it's old fashioned, call me old fashioned but most external cases are still IDE. Most computers still have IDE ports. IDE to PCI/PCIE cards still exist. Hard disks still come in IDE. For heck's sake - media boxes, PVR's still use IDE hard drives. CF cards are a form of IDE, most iPods use a IDE-type interface through a ZIF connector. Burners still come in IDE (with less compatibility issues as well). Honestly - I love my IDE the way it is - no one will ever take it away from me (for the next few years) Wink

DukeNukem@ Waethorn Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I want one of those new SSDs, but what's with the IDE interface? @ lui_gough Don't get your knickers in a knot. All we're saying is that IDE isn't as popular as it once was and they should offer IDE and SATA versions.
