- Lower cost per port than the Flexstar 104B
- Lower cost of operation
- Lower power consumption
- Better heat dissipation
- Smaller Footprint
The Green 132B is the first comprehensive re-design and development of a Flexstar product in over 5 years. The Green 132B has been designed to meet today’s environmental friendly customer requirements.
This new design recycles heat from the drives to maintain optimum temperature within the rack. This new feature in the Green 132B means less heated is air dissipated into the room saving up to 34% on HVAC. The Green 132B has an improved temperature gradient of +/- 2 degrees C. With temperature ranges from ambient +10C to 70C the system provides a 15% improvement over previous Flexstar models.
Banks of drive bays may be programmed to run different tests at the same time. Failed drives can be debugged in place while the tests continue to run and serial port data capture capability enables access to the device under test even if the interface is not responding.
The Green 132B uses a new improved version of the Flexstar comprehensive software and scripting language.
As with older Flexstar products the Green 132B is upgradeable in the field.
The Green 132B supports industry-standard storage device interfaces, including SAS up to 6G, SATA up to 6G, and PATA. Green systems include anti-vibration fixtures for the HHD/ODD industry. You have a choice of fixture sizes of 3.5”, 2.5” and 1.8”. Any combination of these Flexstar fixtures can be specified. Support for a mix of different interfaces in one Green 132B provides many combinations of drive testing to further save our customer money.
