RADX Trifecta-SSD-RM COTS Removable M.2 NVMe SSD Storage Modules for PXIe/CPCIe Systems

Radx Technologies, Inc. announced the Trifecta-SSD-RM, a family of COTS, low-cost, performance, removable M.2 NVMe SSD storage modules for PXIe/CPCIe systems.

Trifecta-SSD-RM PCIe/CPCIe and M.2 NVMe SSD data cartridge

Trifecta-SSD-RM PCIe/CPCIe modules feature a M.2 NVMe SSD data cartridge that is easy-to-remove, replace, and upgrade. When inserted into the Trifecta-SSD-RM module, the cartridge connects to the PXIe chassis backplane via a PCIe G3/G4 x4 interface. These data cartridges are available in 1, 2, 4 and 8TB capacities, which is 2x to 16x the capacity of popular Embedded Controller (EC) SSDs.

When employed in a G3 PXIe x4 or x8 PXIe chassis, Trifecta-SSD-RM can support sequential RW performance up to ~3.5GB/Sec, which is ~7x faster than EC 6Gb SATA drives for both sequential RW performance and ~3x faster sequential write performance than EC NVMe SSDs. In addition, it unlike EC SSDs, supports software RAID with multiple modules, which can double, triple or quadruple the capacity and performance of the data storage subsystem via RAID-0 or provide enhanced fault-tolerance via RAID-1.

With its ease-of-use, flexibility, range of capacities, performance, and low price, Trifecta-SSD-RM provides a cost-effective data storage upgrade for both existing and new PXIe/CPCI systems supporting wideband data acquisition applications where SSD write performance is important, as well as for applications that require frequent security level changes and/or rapid backups.

“We’ve seen dozens of applications that need a high-performance, easy-to-remove, data drive that’s larger and faster than Embedded Controller drives but doesn’t require the 16, 32 or 64TB/slot and 7GB/Sec read/write performance of our flagship Trifecta-SSD-RAID Modules for ultra-wideband systems,” said Ross Q. Smith, co-founder and CEO. “With Trifecta-SSD-RM, customers can now add COTS SSDs up to 7x faster and 16x larger than Embedded Controller SSDs – at previously unattainable price points, which is essential for users needing better performance, multiple drives for data archiving, and/or multiple security levels.”
