440 GB 3U VPX Rad-Tolerant SSDR

On-orbit data storage, commercially available

Preserve up to 440 GB of data in radioactive environments

The RH3440 is the world’s first commercially available, high-density solid-state data recorder (SSDR) in a compact 3U form factor. Precision-engineered and purpose-built to withstand harsh, radiation-intense environments, including space. The RH3440 answers industry needs for reliable, SWaP-optimized storage solutions and offers long-term data integrity with proprietary defect mitigation and the most powerful error correction code (ECC) available.
