In the context of the global SSD hard disk data center storage industry with an average annual growth rate of 16.9%, the improvement of testing efficiency has become the key for SSD production enterprises to seize the market opportunity and ensure product reliability. In the face of SSD manufacturers' urgent demand for stable testing, multi-disk testing, and direct insertion and extraction, the traditional one-by-one testing mode has been difficult to meet the needs of mass production.
As a leader in the field of PCIe/NVMe expansion cards, LR-LINK's SSD expansion application solution has high visibility and influence in the industry, which covers a wide range of PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 expansion card products, and the following is the introduction of the detailed program.
First introduced Switch expansion type program, with strong compatibility, high scalability, suitable for expanding multiple PCIe channels
Program one:
The expansion card model used in this program is LRNV9F96-10I, which is characterized by the board comes with Switch split function, with Lianrui wire LM3SL011-SD-R use, can expand the PCIe 4.0 20 SSD test, and support SSD hot-swap function. Applicable to the motherboard does not come with Switch function, and do not want to re-purchase the motherboard users.
Option two:
The expansion card model used in this program is LRSV9500-4I expansion card, which is characterized by the use of cables directly connected to the SSD test, but also with the MCIO backplane for testing, the same does not require the motherboard to support PCIe Split function, and support for SSD hot-plugging function.
Next is Retimer expansion type program, signal regeneration, strong anti-interference, suitable for improving the quality of signal transmission, to solve the high-speed signal in the transmission of the depletion.
Program three:
The program uses Retimer 5.0 expansion card LRSV9560-2I, the use of Retimer program requires the customer's motherboard with Switch function. If directly connected to the backplane test case, support 4 * SSD (PCIe 5.0) full-speed test, and set x4, x4, x4, x4, x4. In addition, you can also connect to the backplane expansion method, using two Retimer 5.0 expansion cards to test 8 SSD (motherboard PCIe 5.0 x16 slots need to be > 2)
In addition to the above solutions, LR-LINK also provides more solutions for SSD testing applications.
