Overview of these SSDs
The new IBM 512 GB solid state drives employ cost effective MLC NAND technology to bring an affordable, but performance-driven solution for read-intensive applications. The new SSD drives will be available in both 1.8-inch options, as well as 2.5-inch Simple-Swap and Hot-Swap options.
These SSDs use a single-chip controller with a SATA interface on the system side and n-channels of Micron NAND Flash internally. Packaged in an hard drive replacement enclosure, these SSDs integrate easily in existing storage infrastructures. They are targeted at applications that require high I/O performance in random read operations.
Unlike client drives, these 2.5-inch Hot-Swap and Simple Swap (SS) SSDs for IBM System x are equipped with a robust suite of enterprise features, including SMART attributes, hot-plug support, and uCode. They also leverage enterprise data path protection to verify data to and from NAND at every possible location and protect the integrity of the data. The NAND flash in these SSDs is screened and then tested specifically for enterprise customer use. Overall, these SSDs provide outstanding IOPs-per-watt and cost-per-IOP for enterprise solutions and are an excellent choice for read-intensive applications like web serving, content delivery, and streaming video.
Providing that additional peace of mind, your 512 GB MLC SSDs are covered under IBM warranty. These drives carry a one-year limited warranty (1) or, when installed in a System x Server, assume your system's base warranty.
Solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of program or erase cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, solid state storage has a maximum amount of program/erase cycles to which it can be subjected. IBM's warranty for the solid state storage is limited to devices that have not reached the maximum guaranteed number of program or erase cycles, as documented in the Official Published Specifications for the product. Solid-state storage that reaches this limit may fail to operate according to its specifications.
Features and functions:
