What are PXI Data Storage Modules?
A PXI Data Storage Module helps record high-speed data, move data between multiple test setups or supplement a PXI system controller’s storage capacity. It contains multiple storage devices like hard drives, SSD, etc. and combines them into multiple logic units.
PXI Data Storage Modules are available in several sizes and options. They are used as compact in-chassis data storage devices for PXI systems that require high-speed read and write capabilities.
Important Parameters for PXI Data Storage Receivers:
- Storage Capacity: It is the total storage space available in a PXI Data Storage Module. These modules can have a storage capacity usually upwards of 2 TB and can even go up to 30 TB.
- Drive Type: It is the type of data storage drive used by the PXI Data Storage Modules. These modules can have HDDs (hard drives), SSDs (Solid State Drives) or NVMe SSDs (Non-volatile Memory express SSDs) as storage drives.
- Throughput: It is the maximum data transfer rate supported by a PXI Data Storage Module. These modules can have data transfer speeds from 100-300 MB/s with HDDs to up to several GB/s with SSDs.
- Number of Drives: It is the number of storage drives a PXI Data Storage Module has. These modules can have 4, 6, 8 or more drives to provide large storage capacities with high data transfer rates.
