Video: TKL8255 Feature Set
In this short (2:20) video we will step you through some of the new SBC interfaces including the x4 PCIe 3.0, M.2 NVMe interface.
The NVMe memory technology continues to evolve, and coupled with the developments in the M.2 module format offers some interesting options for high-speed data storage in a PICMG 1.3 rackmount computer.
Engineering tests with the Trenton Systems TKL8255 single board computer deployed in a typical PICMG 1.3 system indicates that M.2/NVMe storage driven with x4 PCI Express link is roughly:
- 8x faster than traditional SATA HDDs and
- 2x faster than traditional SATA SDDs.
