M.2 based storage modules features unparallelled read/write data rates
Conduant Corporation has introduced the Big River DM-4M.2 3U storage unit delivering up to 4TB of M.2 storage capacity. The DM-4M.2 with a PCIe Gen3 x8 host interface delivers high-speed data rates for sequential writes of 3.25GB/s and sequential reads of 3.4GB/s to PXI Express systems. The Big River DM-4M.2 3U is designed to provide high- speed storage for use in the fields of industrial control and test and measurement.
The single slot design of the Big River DM-4M.2 3U storage unit preserves valuable chassis space allowing for maximum storage flexibility and is software RAID configurable. The DM-4M.2 complies with PCIe Gen3 protocol standards for the highest bandwidth possible and increased read/write performance.
The DM-4M.2 is designed to meet the non-volatile memory express (NVMe) specification for maximum throughput on the PXI Express bus and operates under major operating systems including Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris and VxWorks.
“Conduant designed the DM-4M.2 to leverage the latest high speed interconnect available using Gen 3 PCIe components,” said Ken Owens, Founder and CEO, Conduant. “The resulting read/write speeds bring a whole new level of performance to PXIe based storage. We’ve taken advantage of the compact form factor of the M.2 for a single slot design and eliminated cable management and data connectors."
