The D-Series Desktop Appliances are versatile test systems designed to validate and debug solid state drives (SSDs) of all popular storage interfaces and protocols, such as PCIe, SAS, SATA, and FC. These appliances are perfect for environments inside or outside the lab, where the appliances rest on a bench or a desk, rather than being contained in a rack.
The desktop appliances can be connected to a variety of external enclosures that provide high-density scaling and power management. To test mixed-protocol U.2 devices (such as NVMe and SAS/SATA), the expandable desktop appliance can be equipped with an optional 4-bay U.2 plug-in module. Alternatively, it can be configured with a 4-bay U.3 plug-in module or a 4-bay EDSFF 1U short plug-in module for testing NVMe U.3 and EDSFF 1U short devices, respectively.
All desktop appliances include and are powered by OakGate’s
Enduro Controller Application and
SVF Pro, the industry’s most advanced storage-testing software. The robust SVF Pro software, now in its fourth generation, offers a comprehensive set of testing features and capabilities.
D-Series Desktop Appliances for PCIe Gen4 Product Brochure
The desktop appliances for PCIe Gen4 can be configured in numerous ways depending on your requirements for the DUT type (protocol and form factor), number of DUTs to test, power measurement and control, and so on. To make configuration concepts easier, the following tables shows some common examples with the desktop appliances and additional required OakGate products (such as
add-ons and
enclosures), if applicable.
