Modern datacenter infrastructure must support data-hungry applications and feed data to these applications at ever-increasing speeds. NVM Express® (NVMe®) SSDs, which use the PCI Express® (PCIe®) physical interface, have become the frontrunner for raw storage device performance, both in terms of IO’s per second (IOPS) and throughput, typically measured in Megabytes or Gigabytes per second (GB/s).

GPUs are known for providing excellent acceleration to video graphics and related activities, in part, because these activities require many repetitive mathematical calculations to be performed and these GPUs are designed specifically to accomplish this purpose. RAID processing also involves extensive and repetitive mathematical calculations, especially for RAID5 and RAID6, so GPU acceleration is a natural fit.

This report examines the advantages of GPU RAID and provides an analysis of test results from two competing NVMe RAID solutions.

Graid Technology has achieved an industry-first benchmark: 100 million IOPS on a protected RAID 5 volume for GPU-initiated I/O, built from 32 KIOXIA XD8 NVMe SSDs. The result shows that resilient NVMe storage can now operate at the scale that current and future AI deployments require, which is especially significant for environments that require both extreme performance and enterprise-class data protection. In benchmark testing with a WholeGraph training workload, [...]
Every NVMe array pays a hidden storage tax — either 12–18% of line rate lost to a hardware RAID controller, or 18–28% of host CPU consumed by software RAID. With enterprise NVMe pricing up ~257% since Q2 2025, that tax now hits a much bigger check. SupremeRAID™ eliminates both halves by running RAID I/O on an NVIDIA GPU: full line-rate throughput, CPU cores returned to your applications, enterprise-grade protection on one card.
Graid Technology is excited to join the AI Powered Data Centre Conference 2026 as a Silver Partner in Mumbai, India. As AI workloads continue to drive new demands on data centre infrastructure, we will showcase how SupremeRAID™ GPU-accelerated NVMe RAID helps reduce storage bottlenecks, improve data protection, and enable higher performance for AI, HPC, and next-generation data centres.
