What is xiRAID?
xiRAID is the world's first and fastest software RAID solution for next-generation storage, protecting not only directly attached flash drives but also drives connected through NVMe-oF™.
Exceptional Performance and Speed with xiRAID
xiRAID is a high-performance software RAID engine that works with all storage devices and delivers outstanding results when deployed with NVMe® or NVMe-oF™ devices.
It is the only software RAID solution on the market that delivers up to 97% of raw device performance in RAID5 configurations while maintaining low CPU utilization.
