The best RAID for storage solutions depends on your needs and budget. If you need the highest level of data protection, RAID 10 is the best option - providing both data redundancy and performance. However, it is also the most expensive option.

There are many benefits to RAID-enabled servers, for any workload, but especially those that include an AI strategy. AI GPU Servers rely mostly on the GPU to do all the important work but the outputs need to be stored somewhere. We explain the main RAID modes below:

GIGABYTE's latest R283 series servers featuring GRAID Technology are designed to overcome NVMe storage bottlenecks that can hamper innovation in financial trading, high-resolution imagery and AI-generated content.

Using a GPU as a raid controller is not something you would expect to hear among a conversation with server administrators. A US startup, GRAID, has a product called SupremeRAID, the SR-1010. It can have over 100GBps of read throughput and over 19 million IOPS – pretty impressive!

Picking the correct RAID mode is important, especially as data carries a large value to most organizations. With many organizations relying on SuperMicro servers, we wanted to help you a little through the RAID mode understanding process.

Picking the correct RAID mode is important, especially as data carries a large value. Whether you need speed or redundancy, or both, you must pick the right RAID mode for your environment. There are other factors at play, such as read and write speeds, which we will discuss in the advantages and disadvantages below.

With the number of drives available now and the amount of drive types, it’s hard to say which disk setup is optimal for you. Our RAID calculator is a great way to determine the size and amount of disks. Here we’ll talk through some of the pros and cons of some of the RAID modes.

There are many drive types and many RAID modes available on the market today. There are pros and cons to every RAID mode and there are also benefits to onboard RAID as well as a hardware RAID card. On our RAID calculator page we list out the pros and cons to each mode, which are also listed below:

Making the right RAID card choice can often depend on your server configuration and drive type(s) as well as OS support for your particular RAID card(s).
