SSD6200 Series NVMe Host RAID controllers feature nativtive, in-box driver support for all major Virtual Machine platforms and Linux distributions.

SSD6200 Series NVMe Host RAID controllers feature nativtive, in-box driver support for all major Virtual Machine platforms and Linux distributions.

The SSD6200’s NVMe driver is embedded directly into every kernel release – this enables VM and Linux platforms to recognize and support these controllers without the need for user intervention. When installing the VM host or Linux distribution, SSD6200 RAID arrays  will be recognized as ordinary drives.

No Hassle Kernel Updates

This also simplifies any OS related update – especially if a new kernel is released. Unlike devices that require a separate binary driver in order to function within the OS, SSD6200 controllers don’t require that every kernel update be patched in order to recognize the RAID storage.

The NVMe driver is embedded into the  kernel -    	The NVMe device driver must be  installed when the OS  no installation is required. Subsequent kernel       	 is first setup,and recompiled/reinstalled for every          updates also incorporate the NVMe driver.          	No driver update is required!                                   	subsequent kernel update.
