XMC Dual CFast Controller/Adapter Features Hot Swap Removable Device plus On-board Storage

Storage is a must for embedded systems. Technobox, Inc. has announced a unique SATA-based storage solution in its 6183 dual CFast XMC adapter that accommodates two CFast devices — either the Type 1 or 2 — with one affixed to an on-board site and the other removable via the front panel port. Data movement between each CFast device and the internal 1X PCIe bus is controlled by a Silicon Image Sil3132 bridge. A retention mechanism is included to prevent accidental removal of the front panel device and function as an interlock for the 6183 hot swap feature.
