Intel Intellec MDS-800 Test Equipment
Solid State Disks Ltd
Dependable Data Storage Solutions
We offer high reliability solid-state replacement drives for a wide variety of military and aerospace equipment.
If you have Intel Intellec MDS-800 test equipment and its original drive is starting to fail, or you fear it might soon, we can help.
Our CF2SCSI™ SCSIFlash™ drives are used extensively within the aerospace and defence sectors to replace legacy drives with internal storage media, such as magnetic HDDs and SSDs, and/or which use removable media, such as magnetic tapes, optical disks (CD / DVD), floppies and solid-state memory cards.
For example, our drive is in use as a swap-in replacement for the Shugart SA801 Floppy Disk (FDD), as originally installed within Intel Intellec MDS-800 test equipment.
Our drive will emulate the behaviour of your legacy drive. This means your host system requires no changes and it will treat our drive as if it were the original part. In addition, you benefit from the high reliability, improved performance (such as fast and simplified memory erase for security) and reduced noise and power consumption that all come through switching to latest technology solid-state memory.
Also, all our CF2SCSI™ SCSIFlash™ drives can be fitted with Ethernet ports, enabling them to be networked and accessed through our Windows (7 or higher) Flash2GUI memory management software.
Where to next?
What is SCSIFlash™?
Our drive solves the growing and increasingly expensive problem of repairing or replacing ageing and failing SCSI-based 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch hard disk drives, magneto optical drives, quarter-inch tape drives and floppy disk drives on computer-based legacy equipment used in telecoms and other industries.
Combining proven SCSI drive architectures with industry-standard, solid-state Flash-based memory technology, our drives are drop-in replacement for any style of SCSI-based drive.
We have two families of products:
- SCSIFlash™. The storage media used is Compact Flash (CF), up to 128GB capacity, and the SCSI interface (SASI, SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 architectures) is standard (narrow) 8-bit with data transfer rates of up to 10MB/s.
- SCSIFlash-Fast™. The storage media used is either CFast or M.2 SSD, up to 1TB capacity, and the data transfer rate is up to 80MB/s. SASI, SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and Ultra3 are supported, and the interface is automatically detected as being standard/narrow (8-bit SCSI, wide (16-bit) SCSI, single-ended (SE) or low voltage different (LVD) signalling.
Our drives are completely programmable, enabling the SCSI driver implementation nuances of the original equipment to be fully emulated. This means you won’t have to make any changes to your system. Our drives are truly swap-in replacements.
