An overview on SED drives:

IBM® 300 GB, 600 GB, 900 GB, 1.2 TB, and 1.8 TB 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps 2.5-inch hot-swap and simple-swap SAS hard disk drives (HDDs), hybrid drives, and self-encrypting drives (SEDs) can provide multiple options to meet storage performance and capacity requirements while offering various features to address more specific needs.

These new drives are 512 emulation (512e), a new drive technology to increase drive capacity while maintaining data integrity. All SAS drives are RoHS compliant.

HDD, SED, and hybrid drive features include:

• 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm HDDs deliver SAS HDD reliability and largest capacity performance in the IBM HDD family.
• SAS drive-to-host interface supports up to 12.0 Gbps burst rate, which can be achieved when the drive is used on a System x® server with 12 Gbps devices and infrastructure.
• 2.5-inch, slim-line form factor optimizes storage capacity.
• Software utilities allow for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) to alert you of certain impending drive failures so that replacements can be made.
• Hot-swap and simple-swap versions of the IBM SAS 2.5-inch HDDs and hybrid drives are available. SEDs are available in hot-swap versions.
• One-year warranty is included.
• For optimal performance with 512e drives, the host system software stack must be 512e aware. For more information, reference IBM's Advanced Format Redpaper™.

Hybrid drive features include:

• Formatted capacity of 300,000 MB or 600,000 MB
• 32,000 MB (32 GB) NAND flash to cache "hot data"
• Spindle speed up to 15,000 rpm
• Fine-tuning of storage tiering by caching at the I/O level

SED features include:

• Drive-level AES 256 encryption
• Safeguard against costly security breaches and exposure of proprietary data if a hard drive is stolen or lost
• Rich security options to help ensure compliance with data security, information disclosure, and privacy regulations for data at rest
• Ability to securely erase data for disk disposition, redeployment, or service calls
• Encryption functionality (supported when used in conjunction with supported ServeRAID controllers and optional Advance Feature Keys)
• MegaRAID Management Suite (MSM), which offers a quick and simple configuration path to disk encryption and also assists with local key management
• Compatibility with Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM) for System x, which offers centralized, automated, and simple encryption key management of SEDs in local and distributed System x environments.
