The NI 8352 and NI 8353 rack-mount controllers -- based on Intel Core 2 dual-core and quad-core processors, respectively -- offer server-class performance for use in PXI- and PXIe-based systems. Bundled with an MXI-Express kit, controllers can achieve sustainable I/O bandwidth of up to 832 Mbytes/s.

In standard configuration, the controllers come with Windows XP and 250-Gbyte X2 (8352) or X4 (8353) RAID 0/1 SATA II disk control capability. A LabVIEW Real-Time version of the 8353 is also available, with X1 SATA II (non-RAID) capability.
