With NAND flash prices up 40% and shortages extending through 2026, new all-flash arrays are expensive and hard to get. We offer a smarter path. Whether you need a flagship AFF A900 or a budget-friendly legacy AFF A220 to keep your project moving, we deliver storage solutions without the premium.

NetApp is in an interesting position. While executives claim no shortages, the reality is that NAND flash prices surged 40% QoQ in Q1 2026 with shortages expected through H1. Flash storage is now up to 20x more expensive than HDDs, with supply chains disrupted for at least six months.

This presents a unique arbitrage opportunity. You can profit from the short-term shortage of new all-flash arrays by offering legacy AFF models (A220, A250, A300) as “budget flash” alternatives. For customers with the budget, you can still source the flagship AFF A900 and the hybrid FAS9500
