Designed as transportable data storage for mobile field use aboard planes, ships and ground transport, the RR2P is a lightweight aluminum 2U RAID disk array, weighing 48 pounds fully loaded, featuring two secure, yet easily removable disk canisters. Each canister holds 10 compact 2.5” Small Form Factor (SFF) disk drives with capacity up to 2 TB each and total system capacity to 40 TB. For speed, capacity and economy a variety of SAS and Solid State Disks (SSDs) are available in the 2.5” SFF size to meet varying needs. The RAID controller delivers up to 2,000 MB per second write throughput for rapid data recording and up to 2,200 MB per second for data reading and transfer from SAS disks.
In a typical surveillance application, the post-mission canisters with the critical images are easily removed and plugged into a ground station. Fresh canisters are immediately loaded into the mobile unit for rapid redeployment. All 10 disks in a canister are carried as a single unit by a handle for safe transport. Each canister locks into place with a positive locking lever. Reliable canister connectors are military grade for field usage. For personnel safety during deployment, the canisters are held by secure restraints for crash protection impact to 200G. Canister connecters are military grade and rated for 10,000 insertion cycles.
The RR2P has four 8 Gb Fibre Channel that can be user configured as dual ports per canister and offers options including AC or DC power supplies variety of disk and SSD storage alternatives. It is conveniently only 17” wide to mount with steel rails or special 1U mounting tray instead of ball bearing rollers to avoid potential Foreign Object Damage (FOD).
The RR2P is designed to facilitate rapid data transfer from mobile vehicles to ground stations. Importantly, the RR2P will operate at 40° C and at 10,000 foot pressurized attitudes. Variable speed fans provide cooling on demand while reducing noise and vibration at moderate ambient temperatures. A front-mounted LCD on each canister provides power, activity and status information.
