The EDM2 supports either one or two 2.5" solid state drives with a board capacity of up to 256 GB or one or two rotating drives with a board capacity up to 2 TB. Contact Elma regarding higher storage capacities as they become available. The EDM2 can attain board level transfer rates up to 44 MB/sec. and is available with extended temperature capability from 0°C to 70°C, drive type dependent. Conformal coating is optional.

Software and driver support is available for Linux, VxWorks and Windows with specific versions available upon request.
