Industrial disks on modules - neat little SSDs that come in tiny packages meant to fit directly into IDE or SATA motherboard connectors in industrial machinery - no bulky data cables required! But, how well do they work in old computers? Could they be a way better solution than CF card adapters? Not only are they faster, likely more reliable, and leave much more airflow room in the case - but they might even work out to be cheaper.
Let's install one, take a bunch of benchmarks against other modern retrocomputing IDE replacement solutions, and find out!
