Graid Technology announced the groundbreaking release of SupremeRAID SR-1001. This innovative GPU-based RAID solution is designed to maximize NVMe SSD performance while eliminating CPU cycle consumption and avoiding throughput bottlenecks. Utilizing patented out-of-path RAID protection technology, data travels directly from the CPU to the NVMe SSDs, ensuring unmatched flexibility, unprecedented performance, and overall superior value.

NVMe SSDs, with their high-speed performance and low latency, significantly enhance tasks across CAD, video editing, IoT, and gaming. Faster loading times, improved rendering, quick file transfers, smooth playback, efficient data processing, and reduced latency contribute to overall superior performance. But traditional RAID methods introduce bottlenecks, limiting the performance of NVMe SSDs in critical applications.

GPU-based SupremeRAID SR-1001 supports up to 8 NVMe SSDs and delivers superior performance and flexibility for towers and edge servers, professional workstations, and gaming desktops. SupremeRAID SR-1001 is the perfect storage choice for engineers, videographers, telcos, CSPs, and MSPs. Its powerful performance capabilities are well-suited for applications such as CAD, video editing, IoT, and gaming.

"As NVMe SSDs play a crucial role in cloud, core, and edge infrastructure, the demand for enhanced data protection without compromising performance is evident," said Leander Yu, President and CEO of Graid Technology. "SupremeRAID SR-1001 addresses this need by delivering best-in-class performance and airtight data protection while optimizing throughput, parallelism, and latency, ensuring seamless performance at the edge. We are excited to add the SR-1001 to the SupremeRAID suite of products."

Graid Technology continues to lead the industry with innovative storage solutions, ensuring optimal NVMe SSD performance and superior data protection across diverse applications. The SupremeRAID SR-1001 is available immediately through all Graid Technology resale partners and distributors worldwide. To learn more, visit https://www.graidtech.com/product/sr-1001.

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.
