DOM, or, Disk On Module, as it's a short for, is as far as i know a SSD, if even just a crude, and quite simplistic one.
I'm looking to turn my old HP T5530 Thin Client in to a 9x retro gaming build, and since i cant actually fit a HD in the darn thing, i think i've decided to replace the DOM with a larger one.
Now, since this is a MLC based SSD... Well, lets just say the OS isn't very SSD aware. Perhaps it's a good thing that the device claims "Dynamic and static wear-leveling", which should help keeping it alive, yes?
In reality this build might end up being a XP one, since there are drivers for the hardware on that OS, where as i might be worse of on 9x, but i'm going to act hopeful, and ignorant. Either way, the limitations remains the same. The OS isn't very SSD aware, and i'm pretty much just hoping for peoples opinions on DOM usage, reliability in general, and if there are helpful hints and ideas i should be aware of before buying one of these.
Thank you for your time and effort.
B!
