Solid State Disk

BITMICRO makes a complete line of flash memory disks from 128MB to 832GB that are plug-to-plug replacements for IDE/ATA, SATA and SCSI drives in desktop and laptop computers. They can also withstand up to 1,500 Gs of operating shock. (Image courtesy of BITMICRO Networks, Inc., www.bitmicro.com)

RAM-Based Disk

For the ultimate in access time, RAM chips are used in solid state disks. This earlier MegaRAM solid state disk from Imperial Technology held 4GB of volatile RAM and a hard disk. Battery backed, the unit would copy the RAM contents to the hard drive in case of power failure. The company has since offered MegaRAM drives up to one terabyte in capacity.

PC Card Disks

PC Cards (PCMCIA) were the first format for solid state disks using flash memory. Although minuscule compared to today's hard disk capacities, these earlier cards provided extra storage for laptops. (Image courtesy of SanDisk Corporation.)
