SES Solid State Data Recorder - Memory Solutions

All SES Recorders, (except S3DR-EMU), use removable solid state memory. Two formats of memory are supported, PCMCIA Type 2 Memory Cards, and SES high capacity Memory Cartridges. SES PCMCIA Memory Cards feature all-metal construction specially ruggedised, and have been tested in severe environments, including under 100m of sea water for an extended period.

SES Memory Cards are available in capacities from 512MB to 32GB.

ES Memory Cartridges permit easy handling of larger data files with capacities from 32GB to 256GB.
