EKF C20-SATA Dual-Drive Mezzanine Module
BRAND : EKF
Available as a mezzanine add-on storage module to several CPCI side boards, the purpose of the C20-SATA is to accommodate one or two 2.5-inch SATA drive(s), either SSD (Solid State Drive) or HDD (Hard Disk Drive). With respect to the dual drive solution, either RAID or non-RAID drivers are available. Since only a few components are required on the C20-SATA PCB, it is a moderate cost system storage solution. The C20-SATA mounts on top of the carrier board. Provided with a single (top mount) drive, the 4HP profile of the associated carrier board would be maintained, resulting in a 8HP total assembly, comprised of the CompactPCI® base board, the expansion carrier card (aka side board), and the C20-SATA storage module.
As an option, the C20-SATA can be populated
with another (bottom mount) drive, resulting in
a 10HP or 12HP assembly stack.
The two SATA channels are derived from a
carrier board SATA controller (JMB362 as of
current), for RAID 0/1/10 operation, or normal
usage.
Solid state drives (SSD aka Flash Drive) are
recommended for fast and rugged operation.
Single level cell (SLC) drives offer the highest
transfer speed and superior reliability. A hard
drive should be considered as an economic
solution, with decreased operating temperature
and performance compared to a SSD, but
maximum storage capacity as of current.
