2.5" IDE 44-Pin 2GB Flash Module – Drop-In PATA HDD Replacement
Technical Specifications
- Form Factor: 2.5" IDE / PATA (44-pin laptop interface)
- Capacity: 2GB
- Interface: 44-pin ATA/ATAPI-6 PATA (UDMA/PIO supported by host)
- Nominal Voltage: +5V from 44-pin header
- Typical Use: Solid-state replacement for 2.5" IDE hard drives in legacy laptops, embedded PCs, and industrial controllers
- Connector Orientation: 44-pin male edge (plugs directly to 2.5" laptop IDE header)
- SMART/TRIM: Not applicable to PATA; health reporting depends on host BIOS support
- Operating Temp: 0°C to 70°C (typical for standard modules)
- Included: 2.5" IDE flash module (mounting hardware not always required; some systems may use existing caddy/brackets)
☑️ Key Features
- ☑️ Plug-and-play replacement for 2.5" IDE/PATA hard drives
- ☑️ Silent, shock-resistant solid-state storage for legacy systems
- ☑️ Low power draw vs spinning HDDs
- ☑️ Ideal for DOS/Windows 9x/XP era laptops, thin clients, POS, CNC/PLC HMIs, and embedded controllers
- ☑️ No drivers required—recognized as a standard IDE drive by the host
✅ Confirmed Compatibility (interface-level)
Please note that the following is not exhaustive. Compatibility depends on the device’s 44-pin 2.5" IDE/PATA interface and BIOS capacity limits.
- ✔️ Legacy laptops and netbooks using 44-pin 2.5" IDE/PATA drives
- ✔️ Small-form industrial PCs and SBCs with 44-pin IDE headers
- ✔️ POS terminals and kiosks with 2.5" PATA drive bays
- ✔️ CNC/PLC operator panels and HMIs designed for 44-pin IDE storage
- ✔️ Thin clients and legacy embedded systems requiring 2GB PATA media
Interchangeable / Replacement Part Numbers
- Module label codes: TJ4K5, 0TJ4K5, CN-0TJ4K5
- AP-FM002GE23S5S-KS4 (per unit label)
- 8Y.4DD1A.7236B (per unit label)
- Functional descriptors often seen on comparable units: 2.5" IDE SSD, 2.5" IDE DOM, 44-pin PATA 2GB (functionally equivalent descriptors used in the field for the same form-factor and interface)
⚙️ Fit Notes
- This module is IDE/PATA only — not SATA, mSATA, or M.2.
- Uses the 44-pin laptop IDE connector (power and data combined). Desktop 40-pin IDE systems would require a 40-to-44 pin adapter (not included).
- Some laptops use a metal caddy or interposer—re-use your existing caddy/bracket if present. If the system expects a full 2.5" enclosure for alignment, minor spacing/shimming may be needed.
- BIOS capacity limits on very old systems may restrict usable size; 2GB is broadly compatible for DOS/Win9x/XP and many embedded OS images.
- For maximum reliability in industrial gear, ensure the device is mounted securely and not stressed by cable strain.
