National Instruments 785308-01

The National Instruments 785308-01 (PXIe-8267) is a high-performance PXI Express data storage module engineered for applications demanding reliable and high-throughput data processing. With a total storage capacity of 4 TB, utilizing four 1 TB M.2 solid-state drives (SSDs), this module is ideal for data-intensive operations such as signal intelligence, RF record and playback, and multi-sensor data acquisition systems. The PCI Express Gen 3.0 x8 interface, coupled with NVMe technology, ensures rapid data transfer rates, supporting both stream-to-disk and stream-from-disk functionalities.

This module features M.2 SSDs available in 2280 and 22110 form factors and supports advanced features like TRIM, garbage collection, and S.M.A.R.T., which improve SSD durability and performance. Typical sequential write throughput reaches upwards of 6000 MB/s, and it operates efficiently with a typical power consumption ranging from 22.9 W to 27.8 W, peaking at 36.8 W during demanding operations. Designed to conform to a compact, one-slot 3U PXI Express/CompactPCI Express format, the 785308-01 measures 2.1 × 13.1 × 21.4 cm and weighs 0.53 kg.

The module is built to withstand rigorous environmental conditions, operating within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and at altitudes up to 2,000 meters. Its storage capabilities can endure temperatures from -40 °C to 71 °C, withstanding operational shocks up to 30 g and vibrations between 5 Hz and 500 Hz. Power is supplied through multiple rails at 3.3 V and 12 V to ensure stable operation under load. Additionally, the module complies with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, including IEC 61010-1 and EN 61326-1, affirming its suitability for electrical measurement, control, and laboratory applications.
