Capacity up to 1 TBOnboard PCI Express SATA controller Compatible with major operating systems Multilane SATA external connector (optional) Compatible with PXI, PXIe, CPCI and CPCIe Requires only 3 open slots (12 HP) Software RAID capable Combine multiple units for additional storage capacity | The Big River™ DM-425-3U storage unit provides disk storage resources to PXI or CompactPCI (CPCI) systems including PCI Express based systems. By providing an internal enclosure for disk storage, the DM-425-3U allows high-speed storage applications to be designed around a standard PXI/CPCI chassis. With capacities of up to 1 TB in a single unit the DM-425-3U can provide abundant storage capacity in a very small volume. When combined with a StreamStor® PXI/CPCI recording controller, the DM-425-3U provides storage capacity for streaming applications such as: - Digital signal processing (DSP)
- High speed data acquisition
- Radar and sonar
- Medical imaging
- Telemetry
- Satellite download
- High-resolution video
When ordered with the PCI Express SATA controller, the DM-425-3U integrates with the operating system to provide additional storage capacity in a JBOD or software RAID configuration. The DM-425-3U is designed for use in a PXI/CPCI 3U chassis with variations available for both PCI Express and PCI based architectures.
