Capacity • Up to 40+ TBs effective capacity • Up to 125+ TBs effective capacity • Up to 250+ TBs effective capacity
• 2.75-11 TBs raw capacity • 11-35 TBs raw capacity • 34-70 TBs raw capacity
Effective capacity assumes HA, RAID, and metadata overhead, GB-to-GiB conversion, and includes benefit of data reduction with
always-on inline deduplication, compression & pattern removal. Average data reduction is calculated at 6-to-1. Some customers
see data reduction in excess of 20-to-1. Effective capacity has no upper limit and will vary depending on workload.

Performance • Up to 100,000 32K IOPS • Up to 150,000 32K IOPS • Up to 200,000 32K IOPS
@ <1ms average latency @ <1ms average latency @ <1ms average latency
• Up to 3 GB/s bandwidth • Up to 5 GB/s bandwidth • Up to 7 GB/s bandwidth
Why does Pure Storage quote 32K, not 4K IOPS? The industry commonly markets 4K IOPS benchmark to make numbers look high,
but real-world environments are dominated by IO sizes of 32K or larger. Pure Storage has optimized the FlashArray for the
real-world. FlashArray adapts automatically to 512B-32KB IO for superior performance, scalability, and data reduction.
