Popular Storage
These small and rugged PC/104 systems often require small non volatile storage devices. Popular storage devices include Compact Flash as well as solid state disk (SSD) devices. These are often more popular than mechanical (rotating) hard drives, which are larger, and are more susceptible to failure in harsh environments. Flash based storage has a more limited amount of writes compared to a mechanical hard drive, but consume less power.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or storage:
“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
