Description
The NI-8260 is a high-performance Data Streaming module, identified by the part number 780980-01. This module is specifically designed to offer robust data storage solutions, featuring a 4-Drive, 1 TB HDD High Speed Data Storage Module for advanced applications. It utilizes 2.5 inch SATA drives, providing flexibility with drive options that include both hard-disk drives and solid-state drives, catering to a variety of operational needs.
With the capability to accommodate 4 drives, the NI-8260 requires 3 PXI Slots for installation, which includes 1 PXI Express peripheral slot and 2 subsequent slots. This design ensures that the module can seamlessly integrate into a range of system configurations without hassle. Users have the option to configure the module using Software RAID-0 or JBOD configurations, depending on the specific requirements of their application. RAID-0 offers a striped configuration that dispenses information among four disks without redundancy, maximizing speed and capacity. On the other hand, JBOD provides a spanned configuration, connecting the four drives together to create a single disk space, allowing for flexible data storage solutions.
Designed for compatibility with Windows operating systems, the NI-8260 ensures a broad range of application compatibilities. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this module remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to benefit from its advanced data storage capabilities.
