Factors affecting SSD pricing and value
In the first quarter of 2024 numerous articles dealing with
increasing NAND flash prices have appeared.
Unfortunately, clients have no control over solid-state

Since IBM manufactures FCMs they have better control FCM4 – 4.8TB 14.4TB*
over price hikes, and the situation is made significantly
better due to the built-in hardware-based data reduction
which delivers up to 3-to-1 compression with no

with up to three times the amount of capacity they

Significant increase in
snapshot capacity
Clients benefit from the increase in snapshot
capacity with up to 15,863 snapshots. The
change enables them to take larger snaps.

The key is the increased bitmap space. With the


FlashSystem 5200 all the target capacity of
snapshots could not exceed 4PB while with the
FlashSystem 5300 all the target capacity can be up
to 10PB which is 2.5x larger.

FlashSystem 5300 provides a superior platform for


delivering larger snapshots and Safeguarded
Copies, thereby enabling clients to gain greater
value by avoiding running up against bitmap space
limits.
