All-In-One RAID and Storage Management Solutions
Empower NVMe Storage with HighPoint's Industry-Proven RAID Technology
HighPoint’s industry-proven NVMe RAID technology provides unparalleled flexibility, enabling administrators to easily craft, maintain and scale RAID storage to address the unique requirements of each target application and workflow.
Host up to four RAID arrays including bootable volumes
Mix individual SSD configurations with RAID arrays
Optimize for Performance, Redundancy or a mix of both.
RAID Modes Tailored for Every Application
RAID 0 (Striping) - Also known as a “stripe” array, this mode delivers Maximum Performance and capacity by linking multiple NVMe SSD's together to act as a single storage unit.
RAID 1 (Mirroring) - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and is ideal for applications that require an extra layer of data security, such as a bootable volume.
RAID 10 (Security & Speed) - RAID 10 offers a “best of both worlds” by leveraging striping with mirroring technology; two RAID 1 arrays are striped together to maximize performance. RAID 10 is capable of delivering read performance on par with RAID 0.
Advanced RAID Features
Unlock Advanced RAID Capabilities with HighPoint Storage Technology.
Bootable RAID Support: Maximize performance and capacity with RAID 0 striping or mitigate the threat of downtime with RAID 1 mirroring
