PCI card with silicon hard disk drive CONTEC

The new products in the PC-RSD-PCI Series are plugged each into a PCI bus slot on the PC to serve as a new type of silicon disk drive using a CompactFlash (CF) card in the same as a hard disk.

The PC-RSD-PCI Series has two CF card slots on the board, one of which comes standard with a CF card. The other slot is available between the PCI board brackets, allowing an additional CF card to be plugged and unplugged as a removable disk with the board installed on the PC. The second slot can extend the range of applications, such as separating the OS and data areas.

The PC-RSD-PCI board uses a highly reliable CF card (fixed disk mode), which can be partitioned into two or more drives. The PC-RSD-PCI board can also accommodate an optional additional CF card to add an additional drive or drives (thereby increasing the total capacity), in which case the two CF cards can be configured into a RAID by striping (RAID level 0), mirroring (RAID level 1), or spanning (JBOD) using a utility. The PC-RSD-PCI Series is a line of 1 GB, 2 GB, and high-capacity 4 GB and 8 GB models. These are designed environment-conscious to be lead-free and to (be scheduled to) conform to the RoHS Directive.
