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!

Seem like Der8auer is getting quite some attention lately.

Wow, that's some crazy speed there. X399 looks ideal for anyone looking for high I/O throughput.

I don't need too much in the way of I/O, but I'd be interested in trying out a RAID configuration on my TR system (maybe when I can get my hands on another 960 Evo).

Saw video before he put it down, don't know reason,maybe has something to do with Asus cards for m.2 .He said in video they are currently not available for sale,maybe they are under NDA
