At AMD’s 2025 EMEA Signal Processing Working Group on Oct. 29-31 at AMD Dublin, Ireland, MLE presented the newest storage acceleration technology: the NVMe Fast FPGA RAID (FFRAID).
With MLE NVMe FFRAID you can transfer, gapless and loss-less, bulky data from multiple sensors to a RAID of NVMe SSDs at aggregated speeds up to 400 Gbps. Multiple systems can further be cascaded via IEEE 1588-2019 (HA) Precision Time Synchronization (PTP) for faster and/or deeper recording.
MLE NVMe FFRAID implements a channel-based architecture where each data source/sink can be associated with a dedicated RAID engine and a dedicated storage space.
