Company introduces USB 2.0 CompactPCI Storage Blades

Maynard, Mass, September 14, 2004 - SANBlaze Technology, Inc., a leading provider of storage solutions for embedded systems, today introduced a complete family of CompactPCI storage blades. The SANBlaze SB1-USB-DVD, SB1-USB-HD and SB1-USB-Combo CompactPCI Storage blades provide embedded systems designers the flexibility to add in-chassis storage utilizing USB2.0 as the interconnect.

The SB1-USB family of storage blades offer removable drive options, in either DVD and CD formats, as well as fixed drive options in a 6U, single slot, CompactPCI form factor. USB2.0 connectivity is provided via front panel connection or rear panel via a Rear Transition Module (RTM).

The SB1-USB-DVD blade, with either a DVD and CD, allows in-chassis software load functionality and removable storage capabilities such as software backup to be incorporated into the embedded system design.

Adding an optional Hard Drive onto the blade provides flexible in-chassis storage options as well as boot capability, for example.

The SANBlaze SB1-USB blades are available with removable media only (DVD or CD), with single or dual Hard Drives (80GB to 160GB) or a combination of the two, a removable component and single fixed hard drive option. These options provide maximum in-chassis storage design flexibility while utilizing USB2.0 as the interface. The SANBlaze SB1-USB storage blades are available immediately. Pricing is dependant on the blade configuration.
