New Features

RAID5/6 Random Write & Degraded Performance Enhancement

SupremeRAID™ SE 2.0 delivers major improvements in RAID5 and RAID6 performance, particularly in random write efficiency and degraded-state performance. Through a redesigned GPU-accelerated parity pipeline and optimized degraded-I/O scheduling, version 2.0 achieves significantly higher throughput and more consistent latency across parity RAID configurations.

Key Improvement

  • RAID5/6 4K optimal 4k random write (up to 5×)
  • RAID5/6 degraded 4K random read (up to 2.6×)
  • RAID5/6 degraded 4K random write (up to 6×)
  • RAID5/6 degraded 1M random read throughput (up to 17×)
  • RAID6 degraded 1M random write throughput (up to 9×)

Info

These enhancements deliver stable performance even during degraded or rebuild states, reducing the impact on live workloads.

Driver Upgrading Procedure

If your current driver version is earlier than 1.7.2 Update 67 (for example, 1.7.2 Update 61), you must install the 1.7.2 Update 67 driver before upgrading to Driver 2.0. Please follow the steps below:

  • Step 1: Install the 1.7.2-67 driver package.
  • Step 2: At this stage, the virtual drives and drive groups may temporarily enter a TRANSFORMING state. Please make sure both the VDs and DGs return to an OPTIMAL state before proceeding.
  • Step 3: Uninstall the 1.7.2-67 driver package.
  • Step 4: Run the 2.0.0 SupremeRAID™ SE Pre-installer to install the required dependencies.
  • Step 5: Install the 2.0.0 driver package.

If your current driver version is 1.7.2 Update 67 or later (for example, 1.7.2 Update 70 in the future), please follow the steps below:

  • Step 1: Confirm that the virtual drives and drive groups are in an OPTIMAL state.
  • Step 2: Uninstall the existing 1.7.2-67 or later driver package.
  • Step 3: Run the 2.0.0 SupremeRAID™ SE Pre-installer to install the required dependencies.
  • Step 4: Install the 2.0.0 driver package.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the Upgrading the Software section of the User Guide.
