1. General Descriptions
Apacer’s SDM5A-M (SATA Disk Module 5A-M) is our next generation disk-on-module (DOM) series
that offers elevated speed boost and higher error correction capabilities. Built with SATA 6.0 Gb/s
interface, SDM5A-M delivers higher performance in data transfer than its previous SDM selections,
reaching up to 245 MB/s in read and 75 MB/s in write.
With its SATA interface compliance and compact size, this high-speed disk module defines an ideal
balance of performance, capacities, reliability and cost. SDM5A-M comes in moderate capacities that
are suitable to boot industrial applications and light operating systems for specific operations, while
with some extra memory space for data storage. The architectural nature of SATA disk module
provides higher resistance to external environmental influences and better flexibility for motherboard
space.
Regarding data reliability, SDM5A-M is built in with powerful ECC engine that can correct up to 40 bits
per 1KB data. In addition, the controller unit of this DOM device supports wear-leveling, SMART and
power failure management for data integrity. With its trustable reliability, performance and cost
effectiveness, Apacer’s SDM5A-M is definitely the ideal storage or cache solution for embedded and
industrial computers, servers and thin clients.
2. Functional Block
SDM5A-M includes the SATA and Flash Management controllers, and flash media, as well as the
SATA standard interface. Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram.
