DDN SFA NVMe Storage (DDN SFA200X2/SFA400X2)

Block storage is data stored in volumes acting as individual drives which can be configured and moved around a storage area network (SAN). It is the most common type of storage used for applications, RAID arrays, and virtual machines. Block storage systems lack metadata but are familiar and easy to work with, performant, and can be used across distributed systems at relatively low loss to efficiency.
