Description
The NI HDD-8266 is identified by part numbers 782858-01, 782859-01, and 782854-01. This product falls under the data streaming category and is designed as a 24-Drive, 5.7TB SSD, Cabled PCIe HDD Enclosure with RAID capabilities. It features a 24-Port PCIe RAID controller that supports both SAS or SATA storage devices, making it highly versatile.
The enclosure is sized at 2U, optimizing space without compromising on performance. Initially configured in RAID 0 mode for maximum performance, it also supports RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes, providing flexibility in data protection and performance tuning. The device operates on an advanced (x8) PCI Express version, ensuring a maximum bandwidth of up to 3.6 GB/s.
For optimal performance, it requires an x8 PXI Express device compatible chassis with a PXI Express host controller (specifically, the NI PXIe-8384). However, it retains compatibility with non-x8 PXIe chassis and controllers, albeit at a degraded speed.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the HDD-8266 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for existing setups and applications.
