Using an Industrial Disk Module in a PowerMac - it's AWESOME! (2022x8)

: 20, 2022

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!

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!
