Current FlashSystems 5300/7300/9500 Price Increase and Availability

The Withdrawal of the FS5300 / 7300 / 9500 was also announced today effective September 30, 2026, for selected models/features and with some models/features to be withdrawn on September 30, 2027.

Also announced today is a list price increase for the current family of FCM4s, NVMe drives, FS7300 and FS9500 controller.

Given the increased demand for compute and storage with the surge of AI Datacenter build outs – AI SuperCyle – prices for our storage components have increased dramatically in the last few months. This increase is due to these shifts in the marketplace. Our competitors have also recently increased pricing as well in response to these cost increases. This increase will take effect on March 6, 2026.

Firm orders received through March 5, 2026, will have the old pricing in effect. So, if your clients need the lower price, they will need to issue a PO and firm their orders before March 6, 2026.
