VROC

Upgrade your RAID

Unleash the WS X299 PRO/SE Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) with the addition of an ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Card*, which allows you to attach up to four PCIe^® 3.0 x16 M.2 drives — for a total bandwidth of up to 128Gbps. PCH-based RAID arrays are bottlenecked by the 32Gbps limit of the DMI bus. VROC obliterates that limit by allowing you to utilise CPU PCIe lanes to configure a bootable RAID array that can transfer data at insane speeds.

*Intel^® VROC is supported via RSTe, Hyper M.2 x 16 card, and Intel^® VROC_ HW_key. Hyper M.2 x 16 card and VROC_HW_Key are to be purchased separately. NVMe RAID type and function will depend on Intel^® VROC_HW_ key installed.
