Array cards are core components used in servers and high-performance computing scenarios to manage multiple hard drives. Through hardware-level RAID (Independent Disk Redundancy Array) functionality, they enhance data storage reliability, read/write speeds, and capacity expansion. Its core function is to virtualize multiple physical hard drives into logical storage units, supporting different levels of RAID modes (such as RAID 0/1/5/10), meeting needs for data backup, performance acceleration, o

Market size and growth rate 2025 scale: approximately 4.78 billion to 5.37 billion RMB (differences in statistical criteria are due to whether complete modules are included or only controller chips), with a year-on-year growth of 12.3%–12.4%. 2026 forecast: expected to reach 5.37–5.89 billion yuan, with growth maintained at around 12%, mainly driven by the expansion of AI training cluster storage nodes and the replacement of existing Xinchuang stock. Price trend: The average unit price

There are three types of caching algorithm measurements: FIFO: First In First Out, *** First Out. Determines the stored time; data far from the current *** is prioritized for elimination. LRU: Least Recently Used, *** Less Used. Determine the time when the most recent data is used; the data currently far away is prioritized and eliminated. LFU: Least Frequently Used, *** Not used frequently. If data is used the least frequently within a certain period, it will be eliminated first.

Amid the wave of digitalization, domestic storage brands are rising at an astonishing pace. One company, with its localized architecture and outstanding performance, has become the leader in the government-enterprise market.
