To support demand for faster, more efficient SSDs, SSD manufacturers are taking advantage of the 5th generation of PCI Express (PCIe), which doubles throughput with data transfer rates of up to 32GT/s. SSD quality and reliability needs to be high, but demand is also high. So, it is also critical that the manufacturing process is not slowed unnecessarily for testing. The OakGate R300 and the OakGate DE200 test appliances provide design and test engineers the means to test the performance and specification compliance of these PCIe Gen5 quickly and efficiently based SSDs. The new modular 8-Bay system provides customers the flexibility to easily interchange all popular SSD connector types and form factors. The new 16-Bay Expansion Enclosures enables the creation of large test configurations, reducing test time.
“Western Digital is committed to SSD portfolio excellence in markets utilizing high performance systems that incorporate PCI Express 5.0 and NVM Express storage. We are confident that strategic partners like Teledyne LeCroy will continue enabling Western Digital and the high-performance storage ecosystem with test solutions that foster rapid industry adoption,” said Anuj Awasthi, Senior Director, System Design & Firmware Verification Engineering at Western Digital.
“In the past decade, Teledyne LeCroy has pioneered the industry’s most advanced SSD validation solutions and we continue to lead with the first validation solution supporting end-to-end PCIe Gen5.” said Roy Chestnut, Vice President of Test Appliance Products. “Our PCIe Gen5 test solutions are powered by the industry’s most widely used software suite, SVF Pro/Enduro. The 5th generation test software is packed full of advanced power measurement and management features.”
