Model DRS8500X Wideband Telemetry Recorder
The DRS8500X is the flagship member of Wideband Systems’ industry-leading Digital Recording System (DRS) family. Optimized for the telemetry market, the DRS8500X delivers exceptional bandwidth, scalability, and performance while maintaining full compliance with the IRIG-106 Chapter 10 standard.
Designed as a direct replacement for legacy products, the DRS8500X modernizes ground station infrastructure while preserving compatibility and reliability. This system supports up to seven user-installable and upgradeable Interface Boards (IFBs), providing flexible integration across a wide range of telemetry applications. Its dual-disk bank architecture enables user-selectable recording modes, including striped for high data rate, mirrored for redundancy, and sequential for extended recording duration.
With storage options from 8 to 32TB and an aggregate data rate of 4800+ Mbps, the DRS8500X is uniquely qualified for the most demanding telemetry environments. It supports pre-detect analog, post-detect PCM, direct IF signal acquisition, and high-speed recording of video, Ethernet, serial, and MIL-STD-1553 data streams.
Backed by Wideband Systems’ legacy of rugged, field-proven performance, the DRS8500X sets a new benchmark for high-capacity, high-performance digital recording in mission-critical applications.

MODEL DRS8500X DISKBANK
The DRS8500X-DISKBANK is a removable media device used with the DRS8500X Recorder. The unit is linked to the system via a SAS interface to create the necessary bandwidth required for high-speed data recording applications.
The disk bank can be configured with SAS or as SATA SSD. With two disk banks per system, the user has configuration options such as mirror mode for two redundant, eight disk volumes, or as a 16 disk, striped volume.
The disks are packaged in a machined aluminum housing and are hot pluggable when commanded to be removed. Optimized for the Telemetry market, the DRS8500X-DISKBANK provides exceptional bandwidth and scalability to the recorder.
