Finally,
device testing tools at an affordable price! The PTI Pleiades
is a self-contained system (an external SCSI case) for
testing, burn-in and programming of IDE/ATA, SCSI and FCAL
disk drives.
IDEAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
- Quality Assurance Device screening - Test incoming,
outgoing, returned or refurbished storage peripherals.
- Device Configuration - configure mode pages, download
firmware, test and exercise drives.
- Performance Device Screening - Select drives based upon
transfer rate performance, number of defects, etc.
- Long-term testing - Test devices for long term
reliability.
- Device Flexibility - Accomodates disk, tape and optical
drives. Can be joined together for 7 IDE/ATA, 14 SCSI, or
126 Fibre Channel Devices.
The Pleiades enclosure provides mounting, power, cooling, and
interface solutions for testing up to seven devices per
enclosure. Devices are safely seated, connected, held firmly
in place and ready for test in seconds on adjustable test
trays designed to accommodate "raw" drives or drives
mounted in cans destined for "hot-swap" type
enclosures. And Pleiades’ unique design includes
interchangeable interposers (change interfaces in the field!),
easy access for field replaceable power supplies, tools,
cables, etc. and complete access to all components.
Pleiades can be ordered for SCSI, FCAL or IDE/ATA devices.
Pleiades can accommodate all of your testing requirements -
including our exclusive IDE/ATA drive converter!

- Fast, easy drive insertion system that securely clamps
drives in place for testing (no screws to attach!)
