DTX300 - MFM Hard Disk Drive emulator
The DTX300 is a hard disk drive emulator designed to replace any MFM, ST506 and RLL interfaces. The ST506 interface disks are no longer manufactured. Therefore, users have to get their disks repaired or replaced by some second hand disks, less and less reliable.
Datastorage , worried about the everlastingness of these systems, has developed the
DTX300 in order for these customers to have a reliable storage device that will work on their systems.
Return to reliabilty
The DTX300 is referenced by NATO under the number 7050.14.567.7970 DATEX DSM NATO - NCAGE : FA4Q1
The DTX300 can replace the following disks :
The DTX300 works on all systems included:
Reliability increased in data transfer
The DATASTORAGE DTX300 uses a Compact Flash Card to store data. Access are ultra-fast, and risks of drive failure are almost non-existent, because the DTX300 has no mechanical parts moving. A preventive detection system is incorporated to deal with an eventual failure.
Backup on CF card
To have a very long lifetime of data recording, a SDRAM is used in dynamic operation and a Compact Flash card that saves the data when the power is off. Both SDRAM and Compact Flash card are removable.
No failure, No maintenance
Less heat is produced, therefore the electronics components have a higher lifetime and the system is more reliable.
Easy installation
The DATASTORAGE DTX 300 uses as much space as one ST506 half-height disk 3.1/2" and is designed to have the same features the disk to replace. It only has to be connected in place of the previous disk, in a completly transparent way for the system. Once the DTX300 has been formatted and the data had been loaded onto the DTX300.
Extended warranty
The DATA STORAGE DTX300 has a two years warranty with back to the factory, while the ST506 MFM drives have a warranty of only 3 months (maximum) after repair and failure rates ever higher.
