Description
The EF5XX series is Digital Equipment Corporation’s first
generation of solid state disk drives packaged in a full-height,
5¼-inch form factor. These DSSI ISEs supply highly reliable
data storage using semiconductor memory as the storage media.
Like all DSSI ISEs, the EF5XX-series disks communicate with
the host using Digital Storage Architecture (DSA) and Systems
Communications Architecture (SCA) protocols such as the Mass
Storage Control Protocol (MSCP). EF5XX-series disk drives
retain the familiar packaging, control panel, diagnostics, and
utilities of the RF series ISEs.
