WildFire Storage Introduces maxRAID

WildFire Storage announced maxRAID, a next-generation software-defined RAID platform engineered for exceptional performance, endurance, and flexibility. Backed by an increasing portfolio of foundational storage patents – including the newly issued U.S. Patent No. 12,332,775 – maxRAID reimagines how data is written, protected, and preserved in modern infrastructure.

maxRAID is now available for licensing to storage solution vendors, OEMs, and enterprise customers worldwide.

A New Standard in RAID Performance
maxRAID introduces a fundamental shift in how RAID performs under real-world workloads. By transforming random writes into smooth, linear operations, it delivers significantly faster throughput while reducing SSD wear.

It exceeds RAID-10 performance while maintaining the efficiency of multi-parity protection.

“Imagine a RAID-6 – or even a 3-drive parity system – that’s faster and more efficient than RAID-10,” said Douglas Dumitru, inventor and CTO, WildFire Storage. “That’s what maxRAID offers: the performance and redundancy data centers have been seeking, without compromise.”

maxRAID is optimized for today’s most demanding applications – from high-throughput databases and virtualization to AI pipelines and cloud-scale storage.

Patent-Supported Innovation
The launch of maxRAID is bolstered by WildFire Storage’s growing portfolio of storage technology patents. The latest, U.S. Patent No. 12,332,775, titled “Fast Block Device, System and Methodology,” provides new capabilities that are now central to maxRAID’s core architecture:

Dynamic Remapping – Converts inefficient random writes into high-speed, linear writes.
Wear Reduction – Selects write locations with minimal active data to reduce flash wear and extend SSD lifespan.
Parity Optimization – Minimizes write amplification in complex RAID configurations such as RAID-6 and 3-parity arrays.
Compression-Aware Efficiency – Compresses data to enhance usable capacity and long-term endurance.

This patent is the latest in a series of innovations forming the intellectual backbone of maxRAID – ensuring partners and customers benefit from genuinely differentiated technology.

maxRAID: Licensed for Innovation – WildFire Storage offers flexible licensing programs for OEMs, storage appliance vendors, and enterprises.

For Vendors – Integrate maxRAID into your drives, controllers, or platforms to deliver unrivalled performance and endurance. The technology enables differentiation in a competitive global storage market.
For Enterprises – Deploy maxRAID across your infrastructure to reduce latency, extend SSD lifespan, and lower total cost of ownership – without sacrificing redundancy or scalability.

“maxRAID is more than a software product – it’s a platform for innovation,” said Sam Anderson, CEO. “With this launch, we’re providing partners access to a uniquely powerful engine that redefines storage economics and sustainability.”

Real-World Impact
Early adopters of maxRAID have already reported transformative results:

A leading cloud provider reduced SSD replacement costs by nearly half
A global analytics company tripled write performance across its infrastructure
A consumer NAS vendor upgraded its product line with maxRAID, offering enterprise-grade reliability to home users.
