The PXI-DM-4M.2 PXI Express storage unit provides up to 32TB of high performance NVME SSD storage in a single PXI Express slot. The PXI-DM-4M.2 has a PCI Express Gen3 x8 backplane interface (up to 8 GB/s) and an onboard Gen3 PCI Express switch for optimum performance. Offering the latest available NVME SSD storage, the board delivers high speed data rates for sequential writes of up to 7.1 GB/s and for sequential reads of up to 7.1 GB/s in Gen3 PXI Express based systems.
The single slot design of the PXI-DM-4M.2 increases the availability of valuable chassis slots when compared to other solutions and allows for maximum storage flexibility. The PXI-DM-4M.2 complies with PCIe Gen3 protocol standards and uses industry standard M.2 NVME SSD storage devices. The PXI-DM-4M.2 operates under Windows 10 and 11, and can utilize the software RAID feature of Windows to combine devices on the board (or multiple boards) into a single high performance RAID0 (striped) device.
To prevent thermal performance throttling that can happen during long sustained writing of the SSD’s, the board includes a full size heatsink designed to take advantage of the cooling airflow in the PXI chassis. The PXI-DM-4M.2 can be configured with various M.2 storage devices depending on capacity, durability and other requirements. The optional Enterprise NVME drives provide end to end data protection and power loss protection circuitry.
All PXI storage modules offered by Conduant are compatible with all major PXI Express chassis brands, including those from NI and Keysight.
