Power dips. UPS kicks in. Or it doesn't. Either way, the cached writes sitting on that PIKE II 1G card are one unclean shutdown away from corrupting your array.
This Cache Vault kit is the backstop. It slots into your ASUS server or workstation and keeps those in-flight writes safe when the power goes sideways. No surprise rebuilds at 6am. No 'let's hope nothing got dropped' prayers before you open the books.
It's designed for the PIKE II 1G specifically, so you're not guessing at compatibility. ASUS lists the supported boards across Z10PE, Z10PR, Z10PH, Z10PA, Z9PE, Z9PH, Z9PR, Z9PA, P9D, and P9A series, plus the ESC, RS, and TS rack and tower ranges. Check your board model against that list before you pull the trigger.
One note from the spec sheet: if you're running a PIKE II 3008 Series card alongside it, update your BIOS to the latest version first. ASUS calls that out explicitly.
Add it to cart and it's on its way
