FREMONT, Calif., September 2013 – Elma Electronic Inc. now offers a dual drive, VPX storage module that provides more than 2 terabytes (TB) of storage, yet requires only one system slot. The new 533x family comes with either solid state SLC, MLC or 2.5” rotating drives to match both the environmental attributes and functionality requirements of specific applications.
Designed for rugged use, the high capacity storage modules reliably perform in harsh conditions found in many defense operations, ranging from ground to shipborne and airborne systems. Growing application areas with increasing data requirements include signal intelligence, engine control and mission critical information storage.
The series’ controller/carrier card configuration allows for system expansion to meet increasing storage needs of a variety of applications needing high capacity, expandability and RAID protection, as found in the industrial and commercial markets.
The 5330/1 boards feature a 4-port PCIe to SATA II 3 Gb/s controller supporting two on-board and two external SATA 3G drives or four external drives, allowing the boards to be implemented as part of a multi-slot storage array using Elma’s 5332/3 series dual drive storage carriers. The large number of drives supported on a single board makes the series ideal for building high-speed, high capacity systems.
Software RAID provides better data protection and access speed, and the extreme temperature and shock resistance ensure the 533x series will continue to perform under critical environmental stresses.
The convection-cooled versions operate from -40°C to +85°C and the conduction-cooled versions operate from -40°C to +75°C, with -40°C to +80°C available in a conduction-cooled, solid state drive configuration. Operating shock of all boards is 40 Gs at 11 ms, half-sine wave; vibration is 2 Gs from 15 Hz to 2,000 Hz.
Pricing for the units typically starts at $1,600 depending on the version and drive choice. Delivery is 10 to 12 weeks ARO.
