Description
The HDD-8266, identifiable by its part numbers 782858-01, 782859-01, and 782854-01, falls under the category of Data Streaming equipment. This device is specifically designed as a 24-Drive, 24TB SATA, Cabled PCIe HDD Enclosure with RAID functionality, making it an essential component for high-capacity data storage solutions. It incorporates a 24-Port PCIe RAID controller, ensuring efficient management and access to data across all connected drives.
One of the key features of the HDD-8266 is its compatibility with both SAS or SATA storage devices, offering flexibility in the choice of hard drives or solid-state drives according to the user’s needs or preferences. The chassis size is standardized at 2U, optimizing space within server racks while still accommodating a significant storage capacity.
By default, the device is set to operate in RAID 0 mode, although it supports other configurations such as RAID5 and RAID6. This versatility allows users to prioritize between maximizing storage capacity, data protection, or a balance of both according to their specific requirements. The RAID controller operates on an advanced version of PCI Express (x8), ensuring a maximum bandwidth of 3.6 GB/s, which is crucial for applications that demand high-speed data access and transfer.
To harness the full capabilities of the HDD-8266, it requires an x8 PXI Express device compatible chassis equipped with a PXI Express host controller (NI PXIe-8384). This requirement underscores the device’s suitability for sophisticated setups that demand reliable, high-speed data streaming and storage.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the HDD-8266 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can still acquire and maintain this powerful data streaming solution, even as technology continues to evolve.
