1. General Descriptions
Apacer’s SDM5A (SATA Disk Module 5A) 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
delivers exceptional performance in data transfer.
With its SATA interface compliance and compact size, this high-speed disk module defines an ideal
balance of performance, capacities, reliability and cost. SDM5A is effective in 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 is built in with powerful ECC engine that can correct up to 40-bit per
1KB data. In addition, the controller unit of this DOM device supports wear-leveling, SMART and power
failure management for data integrity. Wit its trustable reliability, performance and cost effectiveness,
Apacer’s SDM5A is definitely the ideal storage or cache solution for embedded and industrial computers,
servers and thin clients.

*Display of total bytes varies from file systems, which means not all of the bytes can be used for storage.
**Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the lifespan of the
device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion
of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.
