    Perfect for large datasets, cold storage, and long-term archival.
  • 4 x 6.4TB Micron 7450 MAX NVMe SSDs (25.6TB total):
    Optimized for fast caching, journaling, metadata operations, or high-throughput workloads.
  • 2 x 960GB Boot Disks:
    Dedicated disks for operating system and services, ensuring separation of storage tiers.
  • 4 Hot-Swappable NVMe Bays:
    Enables easy drive replacement and future upgrades without service disruption.

The Micron 7450 MAX NVMe SSDs offer enterprise-grade performance:

  • Sequential Reads up to 6,800 MB/s | Sequential Writes up to 5,600 MB/s
  • Up to 1M Read IOPS and 400K Write IOPS
  • <80µs latency, 3 DWPD endurance for write-heavy workloads

Custom NVMe Upgrade Options

Though each Storage v4 server comes standard with 4 x 6.4TB Micron 7450 MAX drives, customers have full control over their flash tier. OpenMetal offers a range of upgrade options (additional cost) that allow you to fine-tune performance, endurance, and capacity to suit your workload:

Drive OptionCapacityEnduranceUse Case
Micron 7450 MAX6.4TB3 DWPDWrite-intensive, performance-first tasks
Micron 7450 MAX12.8TB3 DWPDHigh capacity + high endurance workloads
Micron Pro (1 DWPD)3.84TB1 DWPDBalanced performance/cost
Micron Pro (1 DWPD)7.68TB1 DWPDLarger read-heavy datasets
Micron Pro (1 DWPD)15.36TB1 DWPDMaximize flash capacity on a budget

This level of customizability means you can adapt your server’s performance profile to match specific application demands—whether you’re running Ceph journaling, block storage, object metadata indexing, or caching layers.

Key Differences:

  • More CPU cores and higher boost speeds mean significantly better parallel processing and workload handling.
  • Higher raw storage capacity (240TB vs. 216TB HDD storage).
  • Higher NVMe storage cache (25.6TB vs 16TB)
  • Double the boot disk size for enhanced system resilience.

The Power of a 3-Server Storage Cluster with Large v4

Building a storage cluster with three OpenMetal Large v4 servers offers unparalleled advantages:

  • Raw HDD Capacity: 720TB of storage (240TB per server)
  • Raw NVMe Capacity: 76.8TB of NVMe cache (25.6TB per server)
  • High Availability: Using a distributed storage system like Ceph, your data is replicated and resilient against hardware failures.
  • Massive Memory Pool: 1.5TB of DDR5 memory across three nodes enables faster metadata operations and improved cache performance.
  • Scalable Compute: 288 total CPU threads provide massive parallelism for storage services, data processing, or even hybrid workloads.
