Overview
The NetApp Flash Cache 1TB PCI-E Controller Module (Model X1971A-R5, Part 111-00708) is a high-performance PAM card designed to accelerate storage workloads in enterprise environments. By providing a large, low-latency flash cache directly on the storage controller, this module reduces read latency, improves IOPS, and enables faster data access for critical applications.

Key Features

  • 1TB of enterprise-grade flash memory for sustained cache performance
  • PCI-E 3.0 x8 interface delivering up to 8GB/s bandwidth
  • Seamless integration with NetApp AFF and FAS platforms
  • Advanced wear-leveling and error correction for data integrity
  • Hot-swap capable for zero-downtime upgrades
  • Optimized firmware for automatic tiering and cache management

Technical Specifications

  • Form factor: PAM (PCIe Add-in Module) card
  • Memory type: NAND flash, 1TB usable capacity
  • Interface: PCI-E 3.0 x8, backward compatible with PCI-E 2.0
  • Peak read throughput: 8GB/s
  • Peak write throughput: 6GB/s
  • Operating temperature: 0 to 40 degrees Celsius
  • Power consumption: typical 45W, max 55W
  • Dimensions: 147mm x 112mm (standard PAM size)
  • Supported OS: ONTAP 9.x and later

Applications
The Flash Cache 1TB PCI-E module is ideal for environments that demand fast data retrieval and high throughput. Typical use cases include:

  • Database acceleration for Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL workloads
  • Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) where rapid login and application launch are critical
  • Analytics and big data platforms that require low-latency access to hot data sets
  • Backup and recovery solutions that benefit from faster read operations
  • High-performance computing (HPC) clusters that need consistent I/O performance

By deploying the NetApp Flash Cache 1TB PCI-E controller module, organizations can achieve noticeable improvements in application response times, reduce latency spikes, and maximize the efficiency of their existing storage investments.
