Need Reliable, High Altitude Data Storage? Think ToughDisk^®.

Proven Rugged Avionics-Class Data Storage Used on NASA WB-57 Performance Up to 85,000 Feet Capacity of 640GBs

Standard disk drives are specified to work up to 10,000 feet – not high enough for many avionics data storage needs. That’s where EMS Formation comes in. Our ToughDisk 3500 SATA Rugged Hard Disk is specified to work up to 85,000 feet and provides 640 GBs of rugged data storage capacity. ToughDisk’s sealed enclosure provides for high altitude and high humidity protection. The sealed enclosure protects the recording media from contaminates such as dust, salt and condensation. This same enclosure provides for reliable operation in case of rapid decompression.

When you need avionics-class data storage, choose ToughDisk. High-altitude performance and high-capacity storage are two reasons why. Here are more:

• Fast and Efficient Upgrade – With the standard 3.5” form factor and SATA interface, the TD3500 SATA provides an easy upgrade for systems operating in extreme environments or handling conditions. 

• Lower Power Requirements - The TD3500 SATA can be used with higher-performing SAS controllers delivering enterprise-class data rates at half the wattage of comparable quality SAS disks.

• Greater Flexibility in Powering for Low Temperature Operation – Standard operation conditions require only 5V power. Low temperature operation is available with 5V, 12V, or 28V.

• More Connectivity Options – USB interface provides 480 Mb/s and 640 GB capacity to systems lacking SATA connectivity.
