Description
The NI HDD-8263 4-Drive, 1 TB, 1U, Cabled PCIe HDD Enclosure w/RAID, with part numbers 198084A-01 and 780065-01, offers a comprehensive solution for data streaming applications. This model, designed for high performance and reliability, features a 4-port hardware RAID controller that supports various RAID modes, including RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 10, RAID 1, and JBOD, providing flexibility in data management and protection.
The HDD-8263 is housed in a 1U chassis, making it an efficient choice for rack-mounted environments where space is at a premium. It is capable of supporting up to four SATA hard drives, ensuring ample storage capacity for demanding applications. Connectivity is facilitated through a x4 cabled PCIe interface, allowing for high-speed data transfers with a maximum read/write rate of 150 MB/s inside the array.
By default, the HDD-8263 is configured in RAID 0 mode to maximize performance and storage capacity. However, users have the option to reconfigure the system to other supported RAID modes depending on their specific requirements for data redundancy and performance. The system’s flexibility is further enhanced by its support for hot swapping in redundant mode, enabling the replacement of drives without system downtime, thus ensuring continuous operation and data availability.
For successful configuration, the HDD-8263 requires a PXI Express chassis and controller, PCI Express x4 cable, and a PXI extension module (NI 8262). Additionally, it supports the use of up to 3-meter cables, providing flexibility in system setup and integration into existing infrastructures.
Overall, the NI HDD-8263 enclosure is a robust and versatile solution for data streaming needs, offering high storage capacity, flexible RAID configurations, and efficient connectivity options to meet the demands of various high-performance computing environments.
