maxRAID

Software RAID, built for flash.

Your applications: random writes maxRAID: linearizes, compresses, aligns Your SSDs: full‑stripe writes

Random writes in. Sequential writes out.

Flash is fastest, and wears least, when it’s written in long, even stripes. maxRAID turns your applications’ scattered writes into exactly that, so you get more performance and longer SSD life from the drives you already have.

Our products

One architecture.
From one server to petabytes.

Every product shares one idea: shape data before it reaches the drive. maxRAID does it for flash, from a single server to a scale‑out grid. maxObject does it for hard drives.

Less to buy. Less to power. Less to replace.

As few as 5 with highly compressible data.

SSD prices are rising.
You’re paying for flash
you don’t need.

Conventional RAID makes you buy too many drives, then wears them out early. Here is a 120 TB array over five years, under the same heavy‑write workload.4

How maxRAID does it

Halton Data Center

“I knew too much to believe what they told me — and not enough to prove them wrong.”

An engineer with fifteen years in data centers sent the maxRAID salesperson away in under twenty minutes. It took a year to run the one test that would settle it.

maxRAID is shipping today, from a company that has worked on flash since the first SATA SSDs. The rest of the platform is moving through beta toward general availability.

  1. Measured: 4K random writes on six 3.75 TB NVMe SSDs, maxRAID‑5 with five data drives and one parity drive. RAID‑10 delivered 1.0 million in the same test.
  2. Modeled: 120 TB usable on 15 TB SSDs under the same heavy‑write workload. RAID‑5 wears its SSDs out in about 20 months and RAID‑10 in about 36; maxRAID needs no replacements within five years.
  3. Modeled: 120 TB usable on 15 TB SSDs, with typical data that compresses by 30%. With no compression, maxRAID needs 9 SSDs; with highly compressible data (60%), 5. RAID‑10 needs 16 in every case.
  4. Modeled for one 120 TB usable array on 15 TB SSDs: 36‑month baseline drive life for RAID‑10, about 20 months for RAID‑5; five‑year horizon. maxRAID modeled with one parity drive and no compression ($40K vs $141K for RAID‑10). Drive costs only.
