Highest Single-slot PCIe Storage Capacity Available on Elma's New 3U VPX Module

FREMONT, Calif., March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Elma Electronic Inc. now offers a high speed controller and storage module that supports up to eight SATA III ports and over 2 terabytes (TB) of onboard capacity in a single 3U VPX slot. The new Model 5335/6, an expansion to Elma's 533x 3U VPX storage family, is ideal for applications demanding exceptional characteristics in both data capacity and read/write performance.

The Model 5335/6 is seen as a PCIe Gen2 x 8 connection to the host as it provides the link to a storage array where capacities exceed 8 TB across four slots and where data bandwidth exceeds 1 GB/s.

With RAID 0/1/5/10 support, the storage array system can be configured to maximize bandwidth or provide data redundancy for critical applications. The onboard controller provides an additional six SATA III backplane ports for building a high performance, high capacity storage array using Elma's 553x family of dual-drive storage carriers across four total slots.

The rugged modules perform reliably in the harsh conditions found in many defense and industrial applications, ranging from ground, ship- and airborne systems to signal intelligence, engine and automation control and mission critical information systems.

Using solid state drives, the convection-cooled versions operate from -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C and the conduction-cooled versions operate from -40 degrees C to +75 degrees C. Consult Elma for higher temperature requirements.  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.

Technical Specifications:

• 3U VPX rugged controller and storage module
• Eight SATA III ports
• Over 2 terabytes (TB) of onboard capacity in a single slot
• -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C conduction cooled, -40 degrees C to +75 degrees C convection-cooled

Pricing for the units typically starts at $1,600 depending on the version and drive choice. Delivery is 10 to 12 weeks ARO.
