When the EDM2 is configured with solid state drives, it's optional secure erasure and write protection features support 10 national defense and security agency erasure methods, making the module suitable for use in mission critical and data sensitive applications.

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.
