FAQ

Can a CS5000 be upgraded to an all-flash array?

No, CS models cannot convert into AF all-flash arrays in-place, but they can be clustered together with AF models under unified management.

What happens if a drive fails in a CS5000 array?

Triple-parity RAID protects against three concurrent drive failures, and rebuilds complete rapidly using unallocated drive space.
