QX310 v2 for PCIe/NVMe SSDs
Now featuring factory-integrated DIGISTOR SSDs, the QX310 v2 brings CRU ruggedness and reliable removability to PCIe/NVMe storage. For applications requiring 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch drive bays, the QX310 is perfect for high-performance PCIe/NVMe removability that do not need the same level of interoperability as our SHIPS NVMe removable ecosystem..

    • Complete kits include DIGISTOR SSDs, cables, and HBAs for ease of reliable installation
    • Thousands of removal/insertion cycles (compare to tens of cycles for bare SSDs)
    • QX310 v2 smart thermal design optimizes acoustic performance
    • Enhanced signal integrity in v2 assures consistent, high performance
    • Rugged metal construction
NOTE: Use our pre-tested, factory-integrated DIGISTOR SSD modules for best performance. PCIe compliance and signal integrity depend on a variety of factors, and if for some reason you are required to choose another media option, contact us to ensure a successful implementation.

Product Description

Robust removability for M.2 and U.2 PCIe/NVMe SSDs

Thousands of removal insertion cycles provide years of reliable performance (compared to the tens of insertions found in competitive alternatives) while protecting data at the full speed and potential of your system.

High speed PCIe/NVMe speeds for data transport, offloading, and ingestion

Use the QX310 to move your data the fast way at up to PCIe Gen 3 speeds with physical drive removal and ingestion. It's faster than transfering your data to the cloud or over your local network. 

Prevent theft and loss

The QX310 receiving frame has a built-in lock so you can secure the QX310 storage module into the system and prevent theft or loss.

Ideal for small form factor applications

Maximize the use of space in small PCs, mobile systems, and surveillance systems. The QX310 fits into any 3.5-inch bay or even unused 5.25-inch bays with an adapter bracket. 

Fast and consistent throughput

The QX310 metal frame and storage module, along with its fan, are designed for maximum airflow and heat dissipation, protecting your data and reducing the chance of data speed throttling.

DIGISTOR factory-integrated storage

Drive selection is an important consideration with the QX310 v2 platform and this is why we feature validated, factory-integrated DIGISTOR SSDs. While most NVMe drives are compliant with PCIe specifications when installed on a computer's motherboard, the additional cabling and connections that comprise the QX310 v2 removable drive system may cause some models to fall outside the margins of compliance.

PCIe performance depends on the specific combination of QX310 v2, host bus adapter card, cabling, and the drive model.
