2U rugged hot
swap storage racks by Chassis Plans
- Editor's comments:- if you look at Chassis Plans's website you'll see lots
of racks for SBCs - but the storage racks are harder to find. This is because
(as thir website explains) they are a
"relational"
business - not a "component reseller" and work closely with
customers to provide solutions to their industrial computing requirements.
As
their Chief Technologist, David Lippincott
explained "We have a fairly broad range of rackmount systems with high
drive counts used as NAS, data farms, and stand-alone data processing for large
data sets such as military image processing and flight simulation verification."
They've been a fast growing company (151 on the 2006 Inc. 500 List and
1st in the category of Computer and Electronics.) They're so busy they can't
put everything on their website. But here's an example of a datasheet for a
rugged 8U rackmout
RAID system with 40 hot-swap 3.5" drive carriers - which should give
you some idea of their capability. |

In the
1970s - endurance in EAROMs
was about 1,000 write / erase cycles per
cell.
EAROMs were remote ancestors of flash memory
from a systems
designer's point of view but
were different inside re materials
technology. |

hold up capacitors in 2.5" MIL SSDs
to be or not to be?
by
Zsolt Kerekes,
editor - April 7, 2015
This extreme diversity of SSD design
architecture and thinking is a phenomenon which I've long chronicled in
the SSD Heresies.
In
my blog -
Zero
to three seconds - I look at the hold up times inside 2 current models
of 2.5" SATA SSDs - both of which have been designed for the
military market.
Why such big differences? And what do they signify about the internal
designs and types of applications which may be better suited for one rather than
the other?
These aren't new concepts. I've been looking at the
different
power hold up schemes and
cache ratios
in mission critical non volatile memory systems for over 30 years. But every
time I revisit this vast topic with fresh examples from the market - I learn
something a little bit new.
