This unique solution offers true driverless installation for the end customer; with integrated RAID 0, 1 & 10, boot capability for Linux and Windows operating systems, and targeted at x86 hardware platforms.
The PCB layout can be tailored to satisfy the requirements of specific industrial applications, and for compliance with commercially available PCIe 3.0/4.0 capable motherboards or unique hardware environments. Each controller can directly host up to four NVMe SSD’s of any form factor.
- Unknown devices show up in the Windows Device Manager when Windows can’t identify a piece of hardware and provide a driver for it. An unknown device isn’t just unknown — it’s not functioning until you install the right driver. Windows can identify most devices and download drivers for them automatically.

The controller integrated BIOS menu features native RAID 0 and 1 support. OEM customers that opt for 4 channel design can also incorporate RAID 10 capability. All three RAID levels are completely transparent to the operating system platform, which will recognize the configuration as a single NVMe storage device.
Marvell Port Devices Driver Ed
RAID configurations are transparent for the operating system platform and can be fully prepared prior to shipping the product or solution. End customers are not be required to configure RAID storage. In addition, driver support is embedded into most current operating system platforms. Marvell® 88NR2241 based NVMe RAID controllers are natively supported by Windows 10, Windows Server2016 and Windows Server 2019, and Linux distributions that utilize kernel v3.10 or later.

Marvell Port Devices Driver
Marvell 88NR2241 based RAID controllers include a BIOS level user interface.
In addition, a CLI utility is available for the operating system, and is used to manage NVMe RAID configurations and monitor the SMART attributes for each hosted NVME SSD. SMART data is critical for maintaining healthy, long-lived NVMe configurations, especially those designed to accommodate professional and industrial storage applications.
OEM/ODM Solution Providers in need of a custom-fit NVMe RAID controller for a unique hardware environment or storage appliance need look no further.
