Portable FlashDisk OpenRAID V2C Compact Rugged RAID for Harsh Environments from Winchester SystemsCompact Portable Rugged RAID For Harsh Environments

Now you can take your demanding data-intensive application on the road! FlashDisk V2C is a lightweight portable RAID subsystem built to extreme military standards to withstand any harsh field environment. It's easy to deploy: simply plug and play with any host having a U320/U160 SCSI adapter port. This portable RAID subsystem with RAID 6 data protection is ideal for transportable ground, shipboard or airborne data applications such as GIS, CAD, medical imaging, data acquisition, and field analysis.

Ruggedization
Portable FlashDisk OpenRAID V2C Compact Rugged RAID for Harsh Environments from Winchester SystemsFlashDisk V2C portable rugged RAID is designed to meet MIL-STD-810-E for environmental compliance and MILSTD-461-D for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The solid seam welded sturdy aluminum construction throughout is designed to withstand very vigorous handling. The hinged front door is secured with two thumbscrews and provides easy access to the “hot-swap” drive carriers.

Lock-down thumbscrews and individual drive keylocks secure each drive to the chassis to minimize vibration avoiding potential read/write errors. With this sturdy protection, FlashDisk has been deployed by the military at hundreds of installations worldwide with field-proven reliability and performance.

RAID 6 Data Protection
Portable FlashDisk OpenRAID V2C Compact Rugged RAID for Harsh Environments from Winchester SystemsFlashDisk V2C is typically configured as a RAID 5 parity array or as RAID 1+0 arrays (striped mirror sets). FlashDisk automatically rebuilds data on a “hot-spare” disk or when a drive is replaced.

Ease of Use
Plug & play with any U320/U160 SCSI host adapter, using any OS with no host software to load and no dedicated IP address needed. The V2C incorporates best practices in military design storage, emissions, and environmental. Storage is managed securely from the front LCD console or from the RS232 port with error reporting in easy-to-understand terms.
