ARC-1689-8N presents the advanced hardware RAID technology in enhanced performance of using 8 Bays Gen5 x4 M.2 NVMe. The hardware RAID adapter support off module power loss protection (PLP), and ARC-1689-CBM hold up feature for guaranteed data protection protection. This is designed in a PEX89048 switch, high-performance hardware RAID engine and PCIe Gen 5.0 host/device interface and supports AIC mode or hardware RAID levels 0, 1(Simple/Multi-Mirroring), 10, Single Disk (Single/Dual/Triple) or JBOD, allowing customers to build the high bandwidth, low-latency, scalable, cost-effective, and robust performance storage for ML/AI and HPC applications. The RAID adapter does not require a driver for operation or communication to attached NVMe drives. The RAID volumes are presented natively to the host and use the OS native NVMe drivers.
