| Capacity and media | |
| Media | All-flash |
| Drive types | NVMe SSD |
| Drive note | 2U controller shelf with 24 NVMe SSD slots; 30TB/60TB drives are DDP-only |
| Flash drive sizes | 3.8, 7.6, 15.3, 30, 60 TB |
| HDD sizes | n/a |
| Maximum drives | 24 |
| Controller enclosure | 2U, 24 drive bays |

| Cluster maximum | n/a |
| Effective maximum | n/a |
| Data reduction | n/a |
| Protection | DDP, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10 |
| Protection note | Dynamic Disk Pools and traditional RAID; SANtricity data assurance (T10-PI); mirrored cache with battery-backed destaging to flash; datasheet limits asynchronous mirroring to EF300/EF600 models. |
| Performance and connectivity | |
| Maximum IOPS | 1,700,000 |
| Maximum throughput | 41 GB/s |
| Latency | 100 µs |
| Conditions | Datasheet DS-4082: up to 1,700,000 IOPS, 41 GBps read / 30 GBps write (peak system performance; varies with workload, protocol and media); 'response times under 100 microseconds' is an EF-Series family claim. cache_gb_max is the datasheet 'controller memory' figure. power_w is typical (datasheet). host_ports_max is the largest single-protocol port count in the datasheet 'IO connectivity per array'. 'ib' denotes NVMe/IB and SRP/IB host connectivity. raw_tb_max is the datasheet 1.5 PB (24 NVMe SSDs); docs add SAS expansion support from SANtricity 12.10 without a published capacity maximum. Datasheet notes iSCSI was not supported at launch; docs list 25Gb iSCSI host interfaces. |
