* Connectivity: Modern updates allowed A700 systems to support 100GbE and 25GbE host networks and backend NVMe storage, bridgeing the gap between legacy SAS and modern NVMe architectures Netapp.
Market Trends & Lifecycle
* End-of-Availability (EOA): The AFF A700 has reached its End-of-Availability phase, meaning it is no longer sold as a new primary system by NetApp Netapp. It has been superseded by the AFF A900 and the more recent AFF A70 (released in 2024) Wwt.
* Upgrade Path: A significant market trend for current A700 owners is the in-chassis upgrade to the A900. This non-disruptive upgrade doubles motherboard bandwidth (moving to PCIe Gen4) and improves overall throughput by up to 50% while using the same cabling and chassis Wwt.
* Secondary Market: Due to its EOA status, there is an active secondary market for refurbished A700 units and components. Current B2B listings show full systems priced between $3,000 and $7,500 depending on configuration, with replacement controller modules (Part 111-02587) available around $5,500 .
