GameNews24: SupremeRAID™ SR-1001, An Entry-Level GPU RAID Card with Phenomenal 80GB/S of Throughput from Eight SSDs

By Alex for GM24 / January 27, 2024

On January 25th 2024, Graid Technology officially announced a single-level version of their SupremeRAID series and processors that would provide an array driven out by the best SSD. The new SupremeRAID SR-1001 is the entry-level version of higher end Highrend. SupremeRAID comes with an application of RAR based through GPU technology and higher performance gains that accompany it, which will allow server operators to utilize more than one-nothing expensive hardware.

While RAID is an indispensable feature of the PC for multi-drivers, it has become somewhat problematic with SSD users since they can’t always maximize their speed while using this software. This applies to hardware RAID bound the CPU, since having less CPU performance does not allow for the throughput of a traditional PCR controller.

Graid Technology’s solution to the problems of hardware RAID and traditional computer programs is a challenge. GPUs perform exceptionally well when you use them for non-graphical areas. In case Graid puts it on a strong benchmarking point, they’ve also achieved this advantage with their benchmark workhorses too!

SUPREMERAID STORAGE GPU PERFORMANCE AGAINST HARDWARE/SOFTWARE RAID.

The latest SupremeRAID-1001 card is, as compared to its high-end counterparts it has targeted very hard at prosumers and performer enthusiasts. With support for only eight SSDs, but with maximum throughput of up to 80 GB/sec (plus 8+4) then SupremeRAID-1001 should provide enough flexibility in some modern NVMe Gen 3-4 or 5 SSD.

Of course, the proper server or data center operators should probably look for higher-end solutions such as SupremeRAID SR-1000 or SR-1010. Both of these support 32 SSDs, but if you tap out the capacity or use many NVMe Gen 4/5 drives it may be tempting to opt for the highest-end version.

For most users, there is no doubt that the SupremeRAID-1001 will be ideal solution from a cost perspective. For pricing inquiries, contact TD SYNNEX: levelup.tdsynnex.com/sponsors/graidtechnology

Don't miss our joint speaker session with Supermicro, where we'll walk through scaling approaches across every tier, from single-server to rack-scale to monolithic deployments, and show how dense NVMe GPU platforms paired with SupremeRAID™ turn SSDs into a high-performance, protected KV cache tier. If storage is becoming your AI infrastructure bottleneck, this is the session to catch. See you at FMS 2026!
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.
