The company Innodisk released an USB key which is designed to be plugged to one of the internal USB port located on the motherboard, avoiding this flash memory to be accidentally removed and leaving all external USB ports available.
Supertalent is exploring another way, and offer solutions to recycle internal IDE ports.
Modules with a storage capacity ranging from 1 to 8GB, with a 40 or 44 pins connector can be plugged horizontally or vertically to an IDE port.
Beside the imagination for developing innovative products around the flash memory, specifications, and especially the data transfer speed of those products are rather slow, and might even be so slow that it would prevent users to benefit of the NAND ultra fast access time.
