Eight NVMe M2 SSDs in RAID on X399 Threadripper Reach 28 GB/s
So some folks are have been playing around with eight NVMe M2 SSDs in RAID on X399 Threadripper. See, NVMe RAID support wasn't supported up-to the 25th of this month. I have not seen the new driver myself but some folks have been able to create a RAID array of eight NVMe SSDs.
Der8auer was one of then, yet the video was taken down. From the looks of it he created his RAID array on an ASUS X399 motherboard as the UEFI shows everything ROG. So that is the ROG Zenith Extreme. Two ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 cards combined with eight Samsung 960 PRO/EVO SSD show IOmeter transfer speeds in a excess of .... 28375.84 MB/s. That's the funky thing about Threadripper RAID, the platform has so many PCIe Express lanes that is actually is capable of pushing such numbers.
Daumn ! AMD team, get me sum of that please!

What i amounts to is greatly expanded cheap memory for some tasks.
It can be virtualised by hosting the windows swap file , or vega's hbcc can use it to simulate gpu cache.
The respective speeds, historicaally clearly separating storage from ram, have become a blurred boundary.

Damn at that speed Windows is going to be doing stuff before you even think to do stuff!
It can tell the future!

Nice throughput, how's the IOPS?

That cards look so good. There should be simple physical adapter and then not so expensive.
They do not look having an array chip of some kind.
