Your storage hardware is capable of far more than it's delivering. xiRAID extracts up to 97% of raw NVMe performance while adding enterprise-grade data protection—no hardware upgrades required.
Talk to Our TeamWhen upgrading infrastructure becomes more expensive and time-consuming, IT teams face a critical choice: accept degraded performance or find ways to maximize what they already have.
Most organizations unknowingly lose 50-70% of their storage performance to inefficient RAID implementations. Traditional hardware RAID controllers and legacy software solutions can't keep pace with modern NVMe capabilities, creating bottlenecks that ripple through your entire infrastructure.
As a result, applications run slower than they should and infrastructure investments deliver fraction of their potential.
xiRAID is a high-performance software RAID engine designed for one purpose: extracting maximum performance from your storage infrastructure without compromising data protection.
Unlike traditional RAID solutions that sacrifice speed for reliability, xiRAID delivers both—achieving up to 97% of raw NVMe performance in computationally intensive RAID5 configurations while using minimal CPU resources.
xiRAID operates at the software level, leveraging advanced algorithms developed through a decade of mathematical research. It uses I/O parallelization and a lockless datapath to eliminate the bottlenecks that plague conventional RAID implementations.
The result is storage that performs like raw drives but with enterprise-grade fault tolerance.

Your current NVMe drives are likely delivering 35-50% of their rated performance in RAID configurations. xiRAID changes that equation dramatically.
Real impact: Organizations achieve 2-3x performance improvements on the same physical infrastructure.
Traditional RAID solutions force you to choose between speed and protection. xiRAID eliminates that tradeoff.
Real impact: A 61.44TB drive rebuild completes in 5 hours 22 minutes instead of 53+ hours, dramatically reducing vulnerability windows.
High-performance storage shouldn't hijack your compute capacity. xiRAID's efficient design uses just 3-9% of available cores for RAID calculations, even under heavy load.
Real impact: More CPU and memory available for applications, databases, and workloads that actually matter to your business.
Push PCIe Gen5 NVMe to its limits with RAID on.
In a joint test setup with 24× KIOXIA CM7-V PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs, xiRAID delivered performance that stays extremely close to the theoretical maximum for RAID5.
Measured vs theoretical (2× RAID5 groups):
65M IOPS
100% efficiency at 4K Random Read
8M IOPS
100% efficiency at 4K Random Write
310.3 GB/s
92% efficiency at Sequential Read
144.5 GB/s
97% efficiency at Sequential Write
The sequential results were achieved using just 16 of 128 CPU cores proving that xiRAID delivers near-peak NVMe performance without heavy CPU load.

On a 61.44TB Solidigm QLC SSD, xiRAID rebuilt RAID5 arrays dramatically faster than Linux standard mdraid.
Rebuild time:
mdraid: 53h 40m
67+ days under real workload
xiRAID: 5h 22m
54 hours while still serving 44 GB/s reads and 13 GB/s writes
Shorter rebuilds mean:
