Quick SpecsThe NetApp FAS3240 with a dual-chassis design offers a high-availability (HA) configuration in a 6U form factor. With 16GB of combined memory across both chassis and dual (Controller + IOMX) architecture, it delivers reliable performance and streamlined data protection through RAID 4 and RAID-DP. Each controller is powered by a 64-bit, 2.33GHz quad-core processor, featuring a variety of connectivity options—1GbE, 4Gb FC, and 6Gb SAS—to support diverse network environments. A total of 12 PCIe expansion slots (6 per chassis when combined) provide ample room for additional network or storage interface cards, while remote management simplifies administration. Capable of supporting up to 600 drives, the FAS3240 can scale to 3.6PB of raw capacity. Compatible with a wide range of NetApp disk shelves (DS14 series, DS2246, DS424x, DS4486), it accommodates different drive types such as FC, MSATA, NL-SAS, SAS, SATA, or SSD. This flexibility makes the FAS3240 a dependable, adaptable choice for mid-sized to large enterprises looking to optimize their storage infrastructure.
