In the Topaz 410 and Ruby2, where is the POS application stored?

The POS application for the Topaz 410 and Ruby2 is stored in the SATA DOM (Disk on Module). This storage method is essential because it provides a dedicated and reliable space for the operating system and critical applications, ensuring they can be accessed quickly and efficiently by the device. The SATA DOM offers advantages like durability, faster data access speeds, and a compact format suitable for point-of-sale systems.

This dedicated storage solution is particularly useful in the context of POS systems, where performance and uptime are vital. In contrast, other storage methods like USB DOM, operating memory, or the mainboard typically do not provide the same combination of speed, reliability, and dedicated functionality needed for primary applications in a retail environment. Thus, selecting the SATA DOM reflects an understanding of the optimal storage solutions used in modern POS terminals.
