ACME Portable Computers Support 24 SATA HDDs

Acme Portable Machines, Inc. is a provider of rugged portable platforms and industrial LCD keyboard drawers with locations in US, China, Taiwan and Germany. It announced the release of an enhanced full size and a compact size rugged portable system platform with 24TB and 16TB of data storage options.

The increased needs for massive data storage in HD video streaming and broadcasting markets have innovated Acme engineers to enhance current rugged portable platforms with massive storage options.

Capturing HD contents onto the computer require large quantities of fast storage. When the hard disk can not keep up with the video stream, often frames of video contents are dropped. In order to eliminate dropped frames, Acme’s Comrade and Adamant utilize speed-optimized RAID configuration with multiple drives to accommodate the kind of bandwidth required for HD capture.

Without scarifying any available add-on card slot, the full size Comrade product line can accommodate 8 hot swappable SATA HDDs, 16 internally shocked mounted SATA HDDs, and the Intel Core i7 980X processor, while the compact counterpart, the Adamant product line, is packed with 16 SATA HDD and dual Intel Xeon processors, together with a large 17" 1,920×1,200 resolution LCD display.

The Comrade platform features 24 SATA disk drives and available RAID configuration for data redundancy with faster and more reliable data transfer and storage. The 8 removable drives can be hot swapped whenever it is desirable to change the configuration or repair a working system without interrupting its operation. The Comrade also come integrated with Intel Core i7 980X processor, 24GB DDR3 memory, Blu-Ray optical drive, and high performance graphic card.

The Adamant platform is the compact solution with 16 SATA disk drives. When fully loaded with SATA drives, the Adamant gives the user 16TB of data storage capacity. The Adamant solution has two removable disk drives while the rest are internally mounted 2.5" SATA drives. In addition, dual Intel Xeon L5410 processors provide user longer product life cycle without reinvesting time for product validation.
