Abstract :
We analyze some recent experiences with commercial off the shelf (COTS) I/O hardware modules, comparing manufacturer specifications with our in-house measurements. Discrepancies between quoted specifications and measured performance under accelerator laboratory conditions have been observed. In some cases, design or manufacturing faults have been found which could have impact on the overall performance of the accelerator.
