Description

The AMC631C is an integrated RAID with a Host Bus Adapter for SATA III or SAS-3 drives located in other slots and routed across the backplane, supporting integrated RAID 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 1E, and 10 (mirroring and block-level striping).

This makes it suitable for use with high-performance SSD modules to form a compact fault tolerantstorage sub-systems. The high bandwidth host interconnect, and the platform management capability inherent in MicroTCA, mean the module is ideal for high-energy research, high end instrumentation, and mil/aero signal acquisition systems.

The AMC631C routes its SAS/SATA ports to Ports 12-15 and 17-20. This allows expansion to other SAS Expanders or disks via the backplane routing (e.g. see VadaTech AMC632C). There are additional x24 ports on tongue 2 connecter routed from the on-board SAS expander, which can be used to support external drives or other AMCs (depending on backplane routing).

The AMC631C is available in rugged conduction-cooled (MTCA.2 or MTCA.3) versions.
