This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on November 29, 2017 at 2:33 pmIBM POWER8 technology-based servers now feature 2.5-inch small form factor enterprise SAS SSD technology.
These SSDs (previously called eMLC) provide high-performance, enterprise storage at higher performance levels than is available on disk drives. The eEnterprise SSDs represent the new generation of SSD introduced by Power Systems.
These drives are rated at 10DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) calculated over a five-year period.
The 387GB, 775GB, and 1.55 TB capacity point SAS SSDs included in the Power SAS SSD portfolio are refreshed.
The SSDs are supported in all POWER8 system units with SAS bays and run by integrated SAS controllers. They are also supported in the EXP24S or EXP24SX storage drawer when attached to a POWER8 system and run by PCIe3 SAS RAID controller.
The new SSDs can be intermixed with existing SSD configurations, providing growth to existing servers. Both 4224 (4k) and 528 (5xx) byte sector features are offered to provide configuration flexibility for POWER8 servers.
