Technical Information C20-SATA • SATA Dual-Drive Mezzanine Module
Short Description
Available as a mezzanine add-on storage
module to several CPCI side boards, the
purpose of the C20-SATA is to accommodate
one or two 2.5-inch SATA drive(s), either SSD
(Solid State Drive) or HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
With respect to the dual drive solution, either
RAID or non-RAID drivers are available. Since
only a few components are required on the
C20-SATA PCB, it is a moderate cost system
storage solution.
The C20-SATA mounts on top of the carrier
board. Provided with a single (top mount) drive,
the 4HP profile of the associated carrier board
would be maintained, resulting in a 8HP total
assembly, comprised of the CompactPCI®base
board, the expansion carrier card (aka side
board), and the C20-SATA storage module.
As an option, the C20-SATA can be populated
with another (bottom mount) drive, resulting in
a 10HP or 12HP assembly stack.
The two SATA channels are derived from a
carrier board SATA controller (JMB362 as of
current), for RAID 0/1/10 operation, or normal
usage.
Solid state drives (SSD aka Flash Drive) are
recommended for fast and rugged operation.
Single level cell (SLC) drives offer the highest
transfer speed and superior reliability. A hard
drive should be considered as an economic
solution, with decreased operating temperature
and performance compared to a SSD, but
maximum storage capacity as of current.

Mounting Alternates
The C20-SATA will be mounted with a headroom of either 6mm - 10mm - 14mm or 18mm above the
carrier board, depending on the number of drives engaged (one or two), the drive height (7.0mm
typically for solid state drives, 9.5mm assumed for hard disk drives), and components on the carrier
board e.g. PCIe Mini Card sockets.
The 6mm headroom assembly fits into the 4HP envelope of the carrier board, which results in a total
assembly height of 8HP including the CPU base board. This version is limited to a single drive.
The 10mm headroom version is suitable for a second drive, bottom mount (SSD 7mm). No
components >2.8mm height would be allowed on the carrier board below the C20-SATA. This
assembly exceeds the 4HP envelope of the carrier board slightly, if also on top is a SSD populated.
The 14mm headroom assembly exceeds the 4HP envelope definitely. With a bottom mount 9.5mm
hard drive, components on the carrier board situated below the C20-SATA must not be higher than
4.3mm (6.8mm with a 7.0mm SSD).
The nominal 18mm headroom version is suitable for a dual drive C20-SATA, while not imposing too
much restrictions on components on the carrier board. With the real 18.6mm stand-off bolts in use,
components on the carrier board may be as high as 8.9mm (9.5mm bottom mount HDD), or 11.4mm
(7.0mm bottom mount SSD). A common front panel of 12HP is recommended for the entire assembly
comprised of CPU base board, carrier side card, and the C20-SATA dual drive module. EKF offers also
custom specific front panel design.
The different assembly versions are achieved by choosing mezzanine connectors with a suitable
height, on both the C20-SATA and on the carrier board as well. Be sure to specify your individual
needs when ordering.
