Overview
M-Systems' Fast Flash Disk (FFD) 2.5" IDE Plus disk is a state-of-the-art solid-state disk, based on
NAND flash technology, that provides the functionality of a hard disk with no moving parts. FFD 2.5"
IDE Plus is an ideal, rugged storage solution for mission-critical applications that must operate under
harsh environmental conditions.
FFD2.5" IDE Plus delivers outstanding reliability and enhanced endurance thanks to M-Systems'
TrueFFS® technology, which applies dynamic wear-leveling and bad block management. Due to its
unique design, FFD 2.5" IDE Plus eliminates seek time, latency and other electro-mechanical delays
inherent in conventional disk drives. High-performance sustained read and write rates (up to 8.7MB/sec
and 12.0 MB/sec with DMA, respectively) support both DMA 0-2 and PIO 0-4 transfer modes.
FFD 2.5" IDE Plus is fully compatible with the ATA-3 interface, and has the same mechanical dimensions
and mounting holes of traditional mechanical disks. It is a true drop-in replacement for rotating ATA

disks with higher reliability.
M-Systems' family of FFDs has been providing rugged, mass storage solutions to an expansive range of
industries since 1997. In air force, navy and army installations, it has been field-tested inside data
recorders, moving maps, sonar, radar, fire control systems, black boxes, data acquisition systems,
C4ISR, telemetry systems, rugged laptops and servers. In telecommunication systems, the FFD product
line is used within optical and ATM switches, IP gateways, wireless base stations and core routers,
providing NEBS level 3 compliance, top reliability and a maintenance-free solution. Top reliability and
high MTBF make FFD 2.5" IDE Plus an ideal choice for Factory Automation (FA) systems, Point Of Sales
(POS) systems, assembly and robot controllers, and within manufacturing and medical systems.
