The Big River™ DM-8M-3U storage unit provides disk storage resources to PXI Express (PXIe) based systems. By providing an internal enclosure for Solid State storage, the DM-8M-3U allows high speed storage applications to be designed around a standard PXIe chassis. With capacities available up to nearly 8TB in a single slot, the DM-8M-3U can provide abundant storage capacity in a very small enclosure. The DM-8M-3U integrates with the operating system to provide additional storage capacity in a software RAID configuration.
The DM-8M-3U utilizes the latest mSATA solid state drive technology allowing 8 SSD’s to be installed in a single PXIe slot. Each SSD connects to the controller chip using a 6 Gb/s SATA interface. The board connects to the chassis PXIe backplane interface with a PCI Express Gen2 x8 interface supporting transfer rates over 3 GB/s (24 Gbps).
