The architecture behind a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) solution directly shapes its performance capabilities—especially in the era of NVMe storage, where maximum throughput and the mitigation of latency define competitive advantage. With workloads spanning AI/ML, HPC, data analytics, and high-resolution media, the industry now differentiates between Traditional Hardware RAID  and Hardware-Accelerated NVMe RAID (also known as Hardware-Switched RAID or Hardware-A
