National Instruments 785308-01 PXI Data Storage Module

The National Instruments 785308-01 (PXIe-8267) is a PXI Express high speed data storage module designed for applications requiring reliable and sustained data throughput. This module integrates M.2 solid-state drives (SSDs) with a total storage capacity of 4 TB using four 1 TB drives or greater. This makes it suitable for high speed data intensive tasks such as signal intelligence, RF record and playback and multi sensor data acquisition systems. With a PCI Express Gen 3.0 x8 interface and NVMe technology, it ensures high throughput data transfers and meets the needs of both stream-to-disk and stream-from-disk operations.

The 785308-01 module features M.2 SSDs in either 2280 or 22110 form factors and it supports advanced functions such as TRIM, garbage collection and S.M.A.R.T., which enhance SSD longevity and performance. The drive interface operates at PCI Express Gen 3.0 x4 speeds and provides efficient and reliable data access. Its typical sequential write throughput reaches up to 6000 MB/s with a maximum power consumption of 36.8 W during high performance operations. This robust data handling capability makes it highly effective for handling large volumes of data in real time. This data storage 785308-01 module conforms to a compact one-slot 3U PXI Express/CompactPCI Express format.

The model measures 2.1 × 13.1 × 21.4 cm and weighs 0.53 kg. It is designed to handle rigorous environments operating within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and at altitudes up to 2,000 meters. For storage, the module can endure temperatures from -40 °C to 71 °C. It supports operational shock up to 30 g and vibration within the 5 Hz to 500 Hz range. The power requirements for this NI 785308-01 module are optimized for high performance with typical power consumption at 22.9 W to 27.8 W depending on data throughput levels. It runs on multiple power rails including 3.3 V and 12 V to ensure stable performance under heavy loads. The module is compliant with various international safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. These certifications include IEC 61010-1 for safety and EN 61326-1 for EMC. This ensures that the device meets strict standards for electrical measurement, control and laboratory use.
