New IBM 120 GB, 240 GB, 480 GB, and 800 GB solid-state drives are next- generation Enterprise Value SSDs for System x that are engineered for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design, and to support a broader set of workloads. The higher performance and endurance coupled with increased affordability delivers economic value to read-intensive workloads, as well as mixed-workloads of up to 70% read 30% write. With these SSDs, workloads such as Internet, Hyperscale, Cloud, Content Delivery, Caching, MySQL, and Analytics can benefit from affordable optimized storage, driving data center efficiency.

All capacities are offered in 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, and 3.5-inch options. The SSD design uses a 20nm NAND Flash memory technology that can deliver up to 65,000 4K random read IOPS and up to 35,000 4K random write IOPS with the sequential read/write bandwidth ranging up to 440 MBps read and 375 MBps write. Their endurance of up to 2.4 DWPD for five years is a substantial increase for Enterprise Value class SSDs and positions next-generation Enterprise Value SSDs in supporting larger data center workloads. This can result in economic value for those workload configurations, as well as the data center itself.

The IBM 120 GB, 240 GB, 480 GB, and 800 GB MLC SATA Enterprise Value SSDs are covered under IBM warranty. These drives carry a 1-year limited warranty, or when installed in a System x server, these drives assume your system's base warranty. Solid-state devices do have finite write or P/E cycles and are listed as Total Bytes Written (TBW). Refer to the Limitations section and device specifications for details.

As the newest additions to the IBM System x family of 2.5-inch SAS drives, the 600 GB 15,000 rpm 6 Gbps 2.5-inch SAS HDDs offer the highest performance options and provide a wider selection of choices to satisfy a wide range of applications. These new drives are positioned at the top of the IBM SAS line.

Key features and benefits include:

• 15,000 rpm 2.5-inch SAS drives are RoHS compliant and Protection Information (PI) enabled
• 600 GB 15,000 rpm 2.5-inch SAS HDDs meet client requirements for larger capacities and increased speeds in small form factor drives
• Up to 15,000 rpm speed to help optimize performance
• Outstanding reliability that enables operation in RAID environments without compromising application performance or availability
• You can increase your storage and data management effectiveness when you install these new high-performance SAS HDDs
