The AMC630 is VadaTech second generation storage product for a 1.8″ SATA disk drive in a double module, compact-size (mid or full-size optional) AdvancedMCTM (AMC) form factor based on the AMC.1 specification. Drives can be SSD or rotary with 6 Gbps SATA.

The module also supports an independent disk or integrated RAID 0, 1 and 10. The front SATA drives are swappable without removing the AMC from the chassis. The rear (2nd and 4th) SATA drives are latched down with screwed braces. They can be removed with some light disassembly of the AMC.

The AMC629 is an integrated RAID with a Host Bus Adapter for SATA III or SAS-3 drives located in other slots and routed across the backplane, supporting integrated RAID 0 (striping),1 (mirroring), 1E, and 10 (mirroring and block-level striping).

This makes it suitable for use with high-performance SSD modules to form a compact fault tolerant storage sub-systems. The high bandwidth host interconnect, and the platform management capability inherent in MicroTCA, mean the module is ideal for high-energy research, high end instrumentation, and mil/aero signal acquisition systems.

The AMC629 routes its SAS/SATA ports to Ports 12-15 and 17-20. This allows expansion tothe SAS Expanders or disks via the backplane routing (e.g. see VadaTech AMC635)

The AMC629 is available in both air-cooled (MTCA.0 and MTCA.1) and rugged conduction cooled(MTCA.2 or MTCA.3) versions.

The AMC627 is VadaTech second generation storage product HBA single module, mid-size(option for full-size) AdvancedMC (AMC) form factor based on the AMC.1 specification.

The module has an on-board 2.5″ disk with additional SATA/SAS ports routed to ports 2-3. The storage module also has hardware RAID 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 1E (enhancedmirroring), and 10 (mirroring + striping).
