Key Features

Everything you need in one device

Mission-Critical Performance, No Trade-offs

FlashArray//X delivers 250µs latency and consistent, load-independent performance — eliminating the IOPS-per-GB trade-offs of legacy arrays. Four models (X20, X50, X70, X90 R5) cover entry-level to enterprise scale, all managed through the same Purity OS and Everpure Fusion control plane.

🚫

No Pools, No Tiers, No Manual Tuning

FlashArray//X operates as a single unified storage pool — no RAID pools to configure, no performance tiers to manage, no stranded capacity. Provision instantly, scale cleanly, and automate workflows. As environments grow, management complexity decreases rather than increasing — a fundamental architectural advantage over legacy systems.

📸

Unlimited Instant Snapshots

Instant, metadata-only snapshots create zero performance overhead on production workloads. Unlimited snapshots enable frequent dev/test refreshes, analytics copies, backup targets, and rapid restore workflows — without the performance penalty or licensing fees that other vendors impose.

🛡️

SafeMode Snapshots — On by Default

SafeMode Snapshots prevent ransomware from deleting or encrypting backup data even with compromised admin credentials. Enabled by default — not a post-installation hardening task. Combined with the built-in data protection suite, FlashArray//X provides cyber resilience without complexity.

🔄

Evergreen Architecture

Every FlashArray//X supports nondisruptive, data-in-place generational upgrades — controllers, DirectFlash Modules, and chassis independently. No planned downtime for upgrades, no data migrations, no forklift replacements. Evergreen//One and Evergreen//Forever subscriptions extend this to include hardware refreshes on a cadence.

☁️

Cloud Integration via Pure1

Pure1 AIOps provides fleet-wide monitoring, predictive analytics, and proactive recommendations across FlashArray environments. Data mobility to AWS, Azure, and GCP via Cloud Block Store extends FlashArray's data services into the cloud with the same Purity OS consistency.

About the FlashArray//X

The Pure Storage FlashArray//X R5 is the performance-optimised member of the FlashArray family — purpose-built for mission-critical databases, virtualisation, and cloud-native applications where consistent sub-millisecond latency and maximum availability are non-negotiable requirements.

Four models provide broad coverage: X20 R5 (up to 435 TB effective), X50 R5 (up to 900 TB effective), X70 R5 (up to 2.5 PB effective), and X90 R5 (up to 4.4 PB effective). All models run the same Purity OS across a single unified storage pool — with no pools, tiers, or manual tuning required. Performance balances automatically across all DirectFlash media.

FlashArray//X supports the full NVMe-oF protocol suite (Fibre Channel, RoCE, TCP) alongside iSCSI, FC, NFS, and SMB — serving block, file, and object workloads from a single platform. All data services (snapshots, replication, encryption, deduplication, compression) are included without additional licensing.

Nondisruptive upgrades are fundamental to the FlashArray//X architecture. Controllers, DirectFlash Modules, and chassis components can be upgraded data-in-place across product generations — eliminating the planned maintenance windows and data migrations that force organisations to schedule storage downtime.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🗄️

Mission-Critical Databases

FlashArray//X delivers consistent 250µs latency for SQL Server, Oracle, and SAP HANA — with unlimited instant snapshots enabling zero-overhead dev/test refreshes and rapid analytics copies without impacting production performance.

🖥️

Virtualisation

A unified storage pool with no tiers and no manual tuning simplifies VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. Higher VM density, predictable performance, and nondisruptive upgrades eliminate the operational overhead associated with legacy storage in virtualised environments.

⚙️

Cloud-Native and Kubernetes

FlashArray//X supports persistent volumes for Kubernetes via Portworx — providing enterprise block storage performance, snapshots, and replication for containerised stateful applications across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does FlashArray//X compare to FlashArray//C?

FlashArray//X is the performance-optimised platform using DirectFlash Modules tuned for maximum IOPS and lowest latency — ideal for mission-critical databases and workloads. FlashArray//C uses QLC DirectFlash Modules optimised for capacity density and economics — delivering the same enterprise capabilities (99.9999% availability, SafeMode, deduplication) at a lower cost per TB, making it the ideal choice for file services, general-purpose workloads, and nearline data.

Q. What protocols does FlashArray//X support?

FlashArray//X supports NVMe (direct-attached) and NVMe-oF (Fibre Channel, RoCE, TCP) for block storage, iSCSI and FC for legacy block connectivity, and NFS and SMB for file storage — all from the same unified storage pool managed by Purity OS. There is no need for separate storage systems for different protocol requirements.
