Austin Semiconductor small compact 7.5 cm³ (31mm sq x 7.8mm max height) IDE ruggedized solid state disk (SSD).

The redesigned solid state disk supports an embedded IDE, PIO/4 interface, has MTBF of more than two million hours and is ideal for harsh environment operation (0-70ºC operations with future -40ºto +85ºC).

The disk is designed for use in low power, ruggedized environments, and is intended for direct board mounting and has redundant board interconnects to increase the overall product reliability, making it ideal for handheld applications.

The solid state disk is based on a package (die) stacking technology to create a space conscious, robust solid state disk. The SSD is capable of operating in harsh, vibration prone product platforms such embedded computing applications, heavy transportation, ultra portables, handhelds, mobile computing, digital radio, high-speed networking & enterprise applications, as well as, military, aerospace and industrial applications.
