Aon Desktop Drive Enclosure

Product Details

The Aon Desktop Drive Enclosure is a desktop tester from Quarch that combines all the major elements you need to test an SSD:

Full control of data lanes, power, and sidebands (As with our breakers)
Power and digital sideband capture (As with our PAM range)
Power injection port for voltage margining (with a PPM)
Controllable cooling

Putting this all into a single tester allows us to combine all the features while minimising the signal path. There is no re-driving or re-timing in the PCIe signal path, so the SSD can be tested as if it were directly connected to the host.

Multiple versions are available with varying feature sets to suit your budget and requirements.

The enclosure is designed to connect to a Serial Cables host card or another MCIO-based controller.

A huge range of tests can be run (and easily automated):
