Description
The VL-MPEs-F1 is an extremely small and rugged mSATA module based on the industry-standard Mini PCIe module format. Unlike typical I/O expansion boards, Mini PCIe allows additional I/O functions to be added to a system with almost no increase in overall system/package size. Mini PCIe modules provide a simple, economical, and standardized way to add I/O functions to embedded computer products.
In a very small package, this board provides up to 256 GB of plug-in flash data storage for almost any embedded system.
This non-volatile memory drive provides high-capacity data storage. The drive has an intelligent internal controller which manages interface protocols, data storage, and retrieval. The wear leveling mechanism assures an equal usage of the Flash memory cells to maximize the longevity of the device. The hardware BCH-code ECC detects and corrects internal errors. The voltage detector and power-loss management features prevent data corruption after power-down.
This rugged product is designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation (-40º to +85ºC). It also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration, making it at home in harsh environments.
This mSATA board is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux.
The module utilizes SATA signaling and can be used in any system that supports SATA signaling at the Mini PCIe socket.
This 3rd party product has been selected and tested for compatibility with VersaLogic products, compliance with VersaLogic ruggedness requirements, and is backed by VersaLogic’s product warranty, world-class technical support, and 10+ year availability.
VersaLogic products are designed for use by OEMs working in a variety of market applications: Aerospace, Defense, Energy, Industrial, Security, Medical, Military, Robotics, and Transportation. VersaLogic delivers extremely reliable standard and customized embedded computers backed with unsurpassed service and the highest availability in the market.
