Jin‐Soo Park, Joon-Bae Kim, Moon-Kee Jang, Sang‐Wook Kim · 2007
In this paper, we have designed and constructed a flash memory drive using the ATA-6 bus method for flash memories, which is an element of semiconductors, in order to improve the problems with existing general hard disks. General hard disks are sensitive to impact or shock and because of these, errors in the data or disks occur. Also, due to its internal structure, it requires much electricity and is not suitable to make it light-weight. However, by using flash memory, which is an element of semiconductors, to produce hard disks, low electricity start up becomes possible, not to mention light-weight. It is also strong against external impact and is expected to be utilized for embedded systems, black boxes, vehicles, ships, as well as for other industrial and military use. their OS, we have placed our objective in realizing an ATA-6 flash disk. Most ATA-6 interfaces support both 8 bit and 16 bit. However, for the sake of simplicity of the system in this paper, we have designed the ATA-6 interface.
