Apacer's SATA-Disk Module (SDM) is a high performance, embedded SSD designed to replace a conventional SATA hard disk drive. SDM SSD can be plugged into a standard SATA 7-pin /22-pin connector commonly found in desktops, IT-STB, industrial PC and thin client systems. Apacer's SDM SSD has a built-in microcontroller and file management firmware that communicates with SATA standard interfaces. This means SDM SSD does not require additional or proprietary host software.This product is well suited for embedded flash storage applications offering new and expanded functionality as well as more cost-effective designs, better performance and increased reliability.

Following the MO-297 as the standard for 1.8-inch slim SSD (solid state drive), JEDEC recently announced yet another standardized specification MO-300 for mSATA SSD. In order to make the first move in the embedded/mobile device market, Apacer today officially launches the SATA module solution that meets this specification: SDM (SATA Disk Module) II M1 which provides a variety of options for the OEM customers. Because it utilizes 52-pin gold finger mSATA connector and has the mini PCIe form factor (50.8mmx29.8mm), SDM II M1 goes downsized by about 75% as compared to the typical 2.5” SATA SSDs. Advantaged by its small form factor, SDM II M1 has won the recognition of many international giants, and is successfully being introduced to many mobile communications devices.

  *The actual available memory on the device is less than what is listed on the package. This is due to small discrepancies in file formats and algorithms used by various operating systems. In addition, a portion of memory space is reserved for system files and data sectors for better performance.
