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!

The secret to successfully using CF cards as HDDs is to use industrial CF cards. Industrial CF cards like the Transcend CF220I and Transcend CF170 are designed specifically with usage as a fixed disk in mind. The CF220I supports SMART, Global Wear-Leveling, UDMA1-5, PIO, and true IDE mode. These industrial compact flash cards are also seen as fixed disks, not removeable cards by operating systems. These cards are full on IDE SSDs in a CF card format. Datasheets are available online for both models. The best part is that the CF220I uses SLC NAND for ultimate reliability. The CF170 uses MLC and comes in larger sizes. I use them with all my vintage computers builds. In everything from a Intel 386 to a Pentium 4 these Transcend cards have always worked well. Trying to use CF cards meant for cameras is a an exercise in futility. They often have flaky UDMA implementations and will always be treated as removable media by operating systems newer than Windows 9x.

The issue with IDE SSDs of any kind is they don't support TRIM, so they can't pre-erase memory pages that are no longer used by files to improve speed the next time those pages are written with new data. CompactFlash and other memory cards are different from SSDs in that the erasure of memory pages occurs in realtime, which reduces speed overall but avoids imposing a severe penalty in the future when a non-TRIMmable SSD runs out of empty memory pages. If I had to run an IDE-based computer nowadays, I would use a IDE-to-CompactFlash adapter instead of an IDE SSD. I used an IDE SSD in the past and it was awful for the reason I mentioned.

I really wish DOMs were more available(new) in the 44pin PATA format for laptops. Since some of those older laptops don't like even modern PATA SSDs. But for some reason DOMs are treated like mechanical drives. That said, if you find any really good, and really small 44pin IDE to sata adapters, let me know. Since some 2.5" ssds.. if you open the up, the actual SSD is really small and most of the 2.5" drive is empty. So it would easily fit the sata ssd+ adapter in an old laptop.

I think the only reason these DOMs don't have larger capacities is simply due to their size. That and, being for industrial applications, they're built with tolerances in mind that traditional flash memory isn't so keen on. OWC offers a 120GB SSD kit for legacy machines for about $60, and Transcend offers something similar to this DOM for about $20 with the same sizing. And as you were mentioning KingSpec, I remembered that I bought a 64GB PATA SSD from them a few years ago. They offer that for around $50, so better value per gig but not tremendously so. But I have had a KingSpec running in my IBM T23 for a long while now and it's been fantastic. The biggest caveat for a lot of these is that interface. Yeah, PATA is based on IDE, but it has physically more pins jammed into a smaller footprint for 2.5 inch drive bays in laptops, and people seem to struggle with that. Never got those stupid 44-to-40-pin adapters to cooperate either.

I got an mSD2IDE adapter for my P3 rig….godsend. Being able to have DOS have access to an mSD made things like installing W98 allot easier, Ghost images, large file transfers, etc. I’ve also use the mSD for temporary installs of things like 2000 and OS/2, since it sees the mSD as an IDE HDD and I’ve had 0 issues other than what you’d expect from an IDE HDD e.g. size limits. Although I have the adapter as secondary master, so I can keep the main SSD ‘safe’ by disabling primary IDE in BIOS. Yeah I know it’s a mac channel, but I’m seriously impressed by it so far.

Does the CD-ROM ribbon cable use the same standard pitch ribbon as the old 40/50 pin IDE/SCSI cables? If so it might be easier to carefully disassemble the connectors and pull the cable off, then re-crimp a new cable on that's the correct length. You can then carefully split the wires to make it more flexible like the old cable. It might also be possible to find the connectors themselves on eBay or Aliexpress, or possibly a regular electronics supplier.
