Dell PowerStore 5200T

The PowerStore 5200T is a high‑end midrange all‑flash, all‑NVMe storage appliance in the PowerStore T‑series, built to accelerate block, file, and vVol workloads with active‑active controllers and intelligent automation.

All T models share the same PowerStoreOS and NVMe design; the 5200T adds more CPU cores, memory, and drive scalability, delivering more IOPS, throughput, and effective capacity per appliance.

A single 5200T appliance can grow to more than 6 PB effective capacity per appliance and over 24 PB effective per four‑appliance cluster, depending on drive sizes and data reduction.

Standard PowerStore T and X appliances use a 2U base enclosure with dual active‑active nodes and 25 x 2.5‑inch NVMe drive slots in the front.

PowerStore uses dual‑ported NVMe SSDs and can also use NVMe storage class memory (SCM) drives; specific configurations vary by model and generati

Depending on the model, a PowerStore appliance can scale up to around 93–97 drives including expansion enclosures, with exact limits defined per model in the spec sheet.

PowerStore T models are deployed as traditional SAN/NAS appliances, while PowerStore X models include an embedded VMware ESXi hypervisor, allowing applications to run directly on the array.

PowerStore is commonly used for virtualized infrastructure (VMware), databases, file services, and mixed workloads that benefit from low‑latency all‑flash performance and unified block/file capabilities.
