FlashSystem 7300 specifications
| Specification | Model detail |
|---|---|
| Machine type and model | 4657-924; 4657-U7D |
| Control enclosure | 2U |
| Internal drive positions | 24 NVMe |
| System cache / memory | 256 GB to 1.5 TB |
| Published IOPS | 3.5 million read hit, family page |
| Published bandwidth | Up to 45 GB/s |
| Capacity context | 3.3 PB effective in family page |
Published maxima describe specific test conditions. Application results depend on the drive population and RAID layout as well as block size, read/write mix and host connections.
FlashSystem 7300 drive choices and capacity
| Drive class | Supported source context |
|---|---|
| FlashCore | 4.8 TB through 38.4 TB |
| Standard NVMe | 1.92 TB through 30.72 TB |
| SCM | 1.6 TB |
| External SAS | SFF SSD, enterprise HDD and nearline drives in matching 4657 shelves |
Raw capacity is the installed media total before RAID and reserves. Usable capacity is what remains for data; effective capacity also assumes compression or other data reduction.
FlashSystem 7300 host connectivity
| Connection | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Fibre Channel | 16 / 32 Gb FC and NVMe over Fabrics |
| Ethernet | 10 / 25 / 100 Gb options; installed adapter and protocol apply |
| Port limit | Twenty-four I/O ports in the family page |
FlashSystem 7300 expansion and scale
| Option | Model or limit |
|---|---|
| LFF | 4657-12G, twelve drives |
| SFF | 4657-24G, twenty-four drives |
| High density | 4657-92G, ninety-two drives |
| System / cluster | 440 / 1,760 drives; up to four 7300 systems |
FlashSystem 7300 configuration limits and source differences
- The dedicated family page gives 3.5 million 4 KB read-hit IOPS and 1 million read-miss IOPS. The broad overview gives 4.3 million IOPS; confirm the test context before comparison.
- The source excludes attachment of 2076 and 4666 expansion enclosures to this 4657 controller.
- Traditional clustering is 7300-only in the family source. It excludes 2076, 4664, 4666, 9846 and 9848 systems.
- Effective capacity depends on data reduction and is not installed physical usable storage.
FlashSystem 7300 software and IBM i attachment
We check the installed IBM Storage Virtualize or Spectrum Virtualize level against the proposed drives and adapters. Features such as replication, encryption and snapshots depend on the model, software level and entitlements.
For IBM i, send the Power model, IBM i release and host adapter details. We check direct or switched attachment and the supported protocol in the IBM System Storage Interoperation Center before finalizing the configuration.
FlashSystem 7300 data services and availability
- Spectrum Virtualize licensed machine code provides the model data services.
- FlashCore compression and encryption on supported media; confirm the installed code and entitlements.
Room and upgrade requirements for FlashSystem 7300
- Identify the installation. Send the complete machine type, serial number and installed software level.
- Record capacity and workload. Include installed drive types, RAID layout and current usable space with peak IOPS and latency.
- Check rack and power. Record rail depth, service clearance and the existing outlet and PDU connections; include every expansion shelf.
- Plan attachment and migration. Include host adapters, switch models and optics with the available migration window.
