RAID Enablement Key for Supermicro Controllers

This Supermicro AOC-VROCPREMOD key unlocks RAID levels 0, 1, 10 and 5 on compatible controller cards. It is a licence upgrade rather than a hardware card, so installation is a matter of applying the key in the controller firmware. The product is aimed at system integrators and IT administrators who need redundant or striped arrays on supported Supermicro hardware.

Suited for Supermicro RAID controller owners

Buyers who already own a compatible Supermicro RAID controller and want to move beyond basic RAID 0 or 1 will benefit from this key. It does not add a controller, cache memory or battery backup, so administrators who need those hardware features must look at a different controller card instead.

Behaviour under sustained array workloads

Because the key only enables firmware functionality, sustained performance depends entirely on the underlying controller, drives and system cooling. The key itself introduces no thermal load, latency or throughput limit beyond what the activated RAID level imposes on the host adapter.

Questions about this item

What Supermicro controller must I already have for the AOC-VROCPREMOD key to activate RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5?

The AOC-VROCPREMOD key activates RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 on supported Supermicro RAID controllers; verify your controller model in the Supermicro compatibility matrix before purchase.

Will the AOC-VROCPREMOD key function with an older Supermicro controller that only supports RAID 0 and 1?

The key unlocks RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 on compatible controllers; if the older controller hardware lacks RAID 5 or 10 capability the key cannot add it.

How do I confirm the AOC-VROCPREMOD key is recognised after installation?

Enter the controller BIOS or management utility; the activated RAID levels including RAID 5 and 10 should now be selectable when creating virtual disks.
