Raidon Technology Introduces the iR5740M

Raidon Technology announces the iR5740M integrating four M.2 SATA SSDs and built-in hardware RAID 5 into the same dimensions and mounting points as a standard 3.5-inch HDD, enabling RAID-protected SSD storage in systems where larger drive bays are unavailable.Designed for industrial and embedded systems, the iR5740M combines high storage density, RAID protection, and front-serviceable maintenance without requiring a separate RAID controller or consuming an additional expansion slot.

It supports RAID 5, RAID 0, BIG, and JBOD through a single SATA III 6Gb/s host connection. Rather than targeting maximum throughput, the iR5740M is optimized for storage density, hardware RAID protection, and serviceability in SATA-based industrial and embedded platforms.

Key Highlights

• Standard 3.5-inch HDD footprint
• 4 × M.2 SATA SSDs
• Built-in hardware RAID 5, RAID 0, BIG, and JBOD
• Single SATA III 6Gb/s host connection
• 2 SATA B+M Key support
• Supports 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280
• Front-accessible, removable, lockable SSD trays
• 20mm active cooling fan
• Drive, temperature, and fan monitoring
• RAIDON STATUSGUARD for Windows
• 2 NVMe / PCIe SSDs are not supported 

Why iR5740M?
The iR5740M brings RAID-protected four-SSD storage into systems where 5.25-inch bays, 1U ODD bays, or add-in RAID controllers are not practical.

It is designed for industrial and embedded platforms where SATA remains a preferred interface for long-term deployment, qualification stability, and platform compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Machine vision
• Edge computing
• Factory automation
• Transportation systems
• Data acquisition

RAID Modes

*JBOD access to all four SSDs requires a SATA host controller with Port Multiplier support.

Performance is limited by the SATA III 6Gb/s host interface.

RAID provides drive redundancy but is not a substitute for data backup.
