Western Digital has introduced its most affordable NVMe all-flash storage array, the new IntelliFlash N5100. The device offers up to 92 TB of raw NAND flash using SN200 NVMe SSDs, and can be further expanded when needed using additional 2U IntelliFlash SAS modules featuring 24 SAS drive bays, offering hundreds of terabytes of raw NAND flash. The IntelliFlash N5100 is aimed at customers who need to accelerate business applications, but who do not need extreme levels of performance at high prices.
Western Digital’s IntelliFlash N-series NVMe all-flash arrays sit above the company’s IntelliFlash HD-series all-flash and T-series hybrid-flash offering the lowest latency of around 200 µsec and the highest data transfer rates. The N-series family contains three types of arrays: the highest-end N5800, the mainstream N5200, and now the entry-level N5100. The top-of-the-range N5800 offers up to 1.7M sustained IOPS and up to 23 GB/s data throughput, the midrange N5200 provides up to 800K IOPS, whereas the entry-level N5100 features up to 400K sustained IOPS.
