EF600C Specifications
High capacity combined with good performance — especially for block workloads where storage volume is critical.
If your requirements involve managing large amounts of data, and while performance remains important, you can trade a bit of it for higher capacity and cost efficiency.

EF300 Specifications
Well-suited for workloads with high intensity but slightly lower requirements than top-tier systems — for example, mid-tier databases, analytics, or block storage for applications.
It is ideal when you need a powerful system, but not necessarily a flagship solution like the EF600 — offering a potentially better balance of cost and performance efficiency.

EF300C Specifications
Suitable when you need “large data capacity + solid performance,” but not necessarily a top-tier system like the EF600.
It’s a great fit for mid-sized companies looking to expand their storage without major compromises.
If the main goal is to maximize capacity, rack density, and cost efficiency — with decent performance — and ultra-low latency or peak IOPS like the EF600 are not required.
