The PMC24X family provides a single PCI Mez- zanine Card (PMC) slot storage solution utilizing industry standard rotating and solid-state disks. Designed to be plugged onto a host processor [or Single Board Computer (SBC) card], these products provide an extremely compact, flexible and economical high performance storage solution that will mount on any PMC location, either directly on a processor card or on a PMC carrier board.
The PMC24x family of embedded disk modules offers a high performance, low cost option for file system and boot storage. Combining high performance controllers developed for high-end workstations with disk technology used in laptops, the PMC243, PMC244 and PMC245 products deliver very high data rates in a compact form factor implemented with components designed for physically demanding environments. Other members of the PMC24x family (such as PMC244) utilize Compact Flash or MicroDrive storage devices providing media portability. With the PMC24x “single slot,” computing solutions, you do not need to compromise in either capacity or performance.
