Pure Storage FlashArray

Pure Storage FlashArray is a fast, reliable storage box that companies use to keep their important data safe and quickly accessible. It works like a super-efficient digital filing cabinet that lets employees grab files, run applications, and back up information without any waiting or slowdowns. It uses S3-compatible object storage as a smart, low-cost way to automatically copy and archive older data that isn't needed every day. This S3 connection helps the FlashArray keep its high-speed storage free for active work while still protecting everything safely in the background. Overall, the combination delivers fast performance for daily tasks and affordable long-term protection without forcing companies to manage two completely separate systems.

Connection / Setup

  1. Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
  2. Click I'm ready to set up my storage
  3. Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
  4. Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
  5. Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below

Connect DiskSpace.sh to Pure Storage FlashArray

DiskSpace.sh provides fully S3-compatible object storage. Use the instructions below to configure your Pure Storage FlashArray to connect using path-style S3 requests.

Connection Steps
  1. Log in to your Pure Storage FlashArray management interface.
  2. Navigate to the Object Storage or S3 Configuration section.
  3. Select Add External S3 Target or equivalent integration option.
  4. Enter the following connection details:
Region: Leave empty or set to us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests Required

DiskSpace.sh requires path-style S3 URLs. Virtual-hosted style requests are not supported.

Correct Format:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/object-key
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: ****************************************
Region: us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Signature Version: v4
Path Style Access: Enabled
Troubleshooting Tips
  • Ensure Path Style is explicitly enabled in FlashArray settings.
  • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key are copied correctly (no extra spaces).
  • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1.
  • Confirm firewall rules allow outbound HTTPS traffic to s3.diskspace.sh.
  • Check FlashArray logs for detailed S3 error messages.
Success: Once configured, your Pure Storage FlashArray will be able to read and write objects to your DiskSpace.sh buckets using the S3-compatible API.
