International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Due to the rotating mechanism in mechanical disks, they cannot provide the top-level
reliability required for operation in harsh military environments. This paper describes
three COTS alternatives to mechanical disks: ruggedized mechanical disks, solid-state
flash disks and stacked PC Cards. It discusses their cost-effectiveness and aspects such as
environmental specifications, endurance and data reliability. It highlights several methods
used by flash disks to enhance endurance and reliability, as well as flash pricing and
density trends. It presents data security requirements in actual emergency situations, and
how flash disks can meet these requirements. It concludes with a feature-by-feature
comparison of ruggedized disks, flash disks and stacked PC Cards.
