Cable-Free Boot & Flash Storage Solutions for Embedded Motherboards PRESTONICs presents ADATA Industrial SATA DOMs (Disk on Module), designed to plug directly into motherboard SATA connectors, eliminating the need for signal cables and removing potential dislodgement points in high-vibration environments. Ideal as compact OS boot drives or space-saving storage modules, this lineup features strict Bill of Materials (BOM) locking, industrial endurance, and dedicated Project Protection for long-lifecycle OEM applications.
ADATA Industrial SATA DOM modules integrate direct-mount hardware design with industrial-grade protection:
Key Engineering Highlights:
Cable-Free Direct Attachment: Connects directly to standard motherboard SATA headers, saving internal chassis space, improving system airflow, and preventing connection failures caused by shock and mechanical vibration.
Flexible Power Pin Options: Supports Pin 8 VCC power delivery for cable-free power directly from compatible motherboard headers, as well as standard 2-pin external power wire configurations.
A+ SLC & High-Endurance 3D NAND: Built with industrial 3D TLC flash and optional proprietary A+ SLC technology to sustain high P/E cycle endurance (up to 100K) for continuous OS logging and boot operations.
Wide-Temperature Endurance: Validated and thermally screened to operate reliably across extreme industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.
Rugged Environmental & Data Protection: Features 30µ” gold finger contact plating, ASTM B809-95 compliant anti-sulfurization resistors, thermal throttling algorithms, and optional mechanical Write-Protect switches.
Orientation Options:
Vertical Orientation: Designed to minimize PCB footprint area, making it ideal for high-density IPC motherboards and multi-node compute systems.
Horizontal / Low-Profile Orientation: Optimized for low-clearance chassis such as 1U rackmount edge servers, slim thin clients, and compact fanless enclosures.
