All-flash at disk economics — starts at 4.5 PB, NFS/S3/SMB, scales to 10 chassis
The FlashBlade//E is Pure Storage's capacity-optimised all-flash file and object storage platform — delivering the economics of disk-based storage with the performance, simplicity, and reliability of flash. Starting at 4.5 PB with 75 TB DirectFlash Modules, it scales in 1.5 PB increments to multi-petabyte repository workloads.

FlashBlade//E achieves an acquisition price comparable to disk-based storage systems while delivering all-flash performance, enterprise-grade reliability, and the simplicity of Purity//FB OS. Lower long-term TCO comes from reduced power consumption, smaller physical footprint, and elimination of disk-related failure and media replacement costs.
A future-proof design starts with 1.5 chassis (1 EC compute chassis + 0.5 EX storage chassis) and grows by adding 0.5 EX chassis at a time — enabling 1.5 PB capacity increments (with 75TB modules) or 3 PB increments (with 150TB modules). This granular scaling avoids over-provisioning and matches capacity purchases to actual data growth.
FlashBlade//E is designed for data centre efficiency — consuming significantly less power and occupying substantially less floor space than equivalent-capacity disk-based systems. As capacity utilisation increases, efficiency improves further, creating an immediately positive environmental impact alongside long-term TCO savings.
Global erasure coding, SafeMode Snapshots, always-on AES-256 encryption, file and object replication, and instant immutable snapshots are all included in FlashBlade//E without additional licensing. Enterprise-grade data protection requires no separate products or complex configuration.
As higher-density DirectFlash Modules become available, existing FlashBlade//E systems can be upgraded to denser media — extending the life of the system without data migrations or chassis replacements. This capacity consolidation capability further reduces long-term TCO compared to disk systems that require full replacement cycles.
Evergreen//One provides a subscription model for FlashBlade//E with flexible consumption, guaranteed performance SLAs, and continuous innovation — enabling organisations to consume all-flash unstructured storage as a cloud-like service without the capital expenditure and refresh cycles of traditional storage procurement.
The Pure Storage FlashBlade//E is the capacity-optimised member of the FlashBlade family — purpose-built for repository workloads that require maximum all-flash density at economics comparable to disk. Starting at 4.5 PB with 75 TB DirectFlash Modules (or 9 PB with 150 TB modules), FlashBlade//E scales in 1.5 PB increments to 10 chassis without disruption.
Unlike disk-based NAS and object storage systems, FlashBlade//E delivers consistent all-flash performance for backup and recovery, archive, analytics data lakes, and AI training data repositories — with sub-millisecond access times that eliminate the storage bottlenecks inherent in spinning-disk systems at petabyte scale.
Purity//FB OS runs natively on FlashBlade//E, providing native NFS (v3 and v4.1), SMB 3.x, and S3 APIs alongside global erasure coding, always-on AES-256 encryption, SafeMode Snapshots, file replication, object replication, and data reduction. Every enterprise data service is included without additional licensing.
The ESG impact of FlashBlade//E is significant: substantially reduced power consumption, cooling requirements, and physical footprint compared to disk-based equivalents. This translates directly to lower operational costs and supports data centre sustainability commitments — and efficiency continues to improve as utilisation increases.
FlashBlade//E's all-flash throughput and SafeMode Snapshots make it a high-performance backup target with built-in ransomware protection. Rapid restore from all-flash dramatically reduces RTOs compared to disk-based backup systems — with immutable snapshots protecting data even if backup credentials are compromised.
Large-scale AI training data, data lake storage, and analytics repositories at multi-petabyte scale benefit from FlashBlade//E's combination of consistent all-flash access times, high capacity density, and NFS/S3 protocol support — without the latency variability and mechanical reliability issues of spinning disk.
Replacing disk-based NAS and object storage with FlashBlade//E significantly reduces power consumption, cooling load, and rack space — supporting data centre sustainability targets while providing better performance and simpler management than the fragmented disk-based systems it replaces.
