GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The X9 Storage module provides remote and local removable Mass Storage to the X9 Host computers. The storage canister is removable with over 5000 mating cycles. This makes the storage module ideal for applications where massive amounts of data needs to be stored at very high data rates and be removed for security or archive needs.

The X9 Storage connects an X9 Host computer (X9 Mission Computer, X9 Server Computer, X9 AI System) via Thunderbolt™ 4 up to 50 meters away without the need for an external power supply (powered by Host) with 40Gb/s transfer rate. Each storage module supports four U.2 storage devices in a sealed canister. The U.2 may be Quad NVMe™, SATA, or up to Eight M.2(2280) memory sticks. Further NSA approved encryption drives are available for total security.

The Storage module may be cascaded to as many as are needed by the system and each Storage system may be up to 50 meters away from each other.

The locking mechanism of the canister is rugged and tamperproof. It alerts the system as soon as the lever is turned allowing the Host to initiate a Secure Erase cycle.

The X9 Storage capacity and speed have never been achieved in Network Attached Storage (NAS) residing 50 meters away. This removes the distance limitation of Direct attached Storage (DAS) and brings new applications for the battlefield and UAV.
