C47-MSATA

Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion board to the CCM-BOOGIE, PC1-GROOVE and other CPU carrier cards, the main purpose of the C47-MSATA is to provide dual host connectors for mounting of mSATA SSD modules, as a rugged and fast mass storage media. With both sockets in use, a SATA RAID level 0/1 system can be easily established, for even higher performance and reliability.
MSATA host connectors are mechanically identical to the PCI Express® Mini Card specification. With respect to the signal routing, the C47-SATA allows also for use of USB bound PCI Express® Mini Card modules, as an alternate to mSATA SSDs. Such Mini Card modules which need support for a PCI Express® lane cannot be used with the C47-SATA. Basically, the C47-MSATA is designed to fit into the 4HP (20.32mm) envelope of a CompactPCI® CPU carrier board, so that another 4HP pitch mezzanine expansion board may be stacked above the CPU/C47 assembly in addition. The C47-MSATA accommodates either full-size (50.8mm length, fixed by latch) or mini-size (26.8mm length, screw lock) mSATA modules.
The C47-MSATA can be optionally equipped with one ore two USB 2.0 type A receptacles. In addition, up to two SATA connectors (latching headers) are optionally available on the C47-MSATA, for attachment of system internal drives. However, both cable connector options would exceed the 4HP total stack height for the CPU carrier board and C47-MSATA assembly.
