Anyone know if there will be a replacement for the FAS2820 when it reaches EOA?

I think the answer to that is a pretty confident "yes", even without knowing any NDA roadmaps. There have always been replacement systems for systems that went EOA in the past, and I see no reason why this should change now. As for the specs of that replacement model, that's purely speculation of course, but the EOS/EOA dates of the 2820 are still so far in the future that they're not even announced yet 🙂

Thanks @summer ruin

my guess is something like a FAS20 or FAS30 will pop up, but again that is pure speculation at this point 🙂

Agreed here also. I don’t have have knowledge and this is pure speculation. The 2820 is relatively new and performs very well for the lowest end. It is not very configurable. It has a mezzanine card with up to 12 internal drives. If I’m not mistaken The other newer platforms have pcie slots for expansion. Two of the “internal” slots I think are used for flash cache. All drives are otherwise external. More configurable. More $$$

The 2xxx series hasn't had PCIe expansion ever AFAIK.

FAS2220 had PCIe cards. Not with the standard cardedge connector though, but still PCIe

#

Oh and the 2050 of course also had a single regular PCIe slot. Almost forgot about this one

@round path The 22xx had a single mezzanine slot (8Gb FC or 10GbE) per PCM. The 25xx, 26xx, and 27xx did not offer mezzanine slot support.
