Features 

The IBM High IOPS Modular Adapters use NAND flash memory as the basic building block of solid-state 

storage and contain no moving parts, thus are less sensitive to issues associated with vibration, noise, 
and mechanical failure. These adapters are built as block devices on a PCIe bus with advanced 
wear-leveling, ECC, and chip-level redundancy providing unparalleled reliability and efficiency.

Based on the standard PCIe architecture coupled with the modular NAND SLC and eMLC storage 

technologies, the High IOPS Modular Adapters are optimized for System x rack servers and can be 
deployed in blades through the PCIe expansion units.

Typical uses are applications with ultra high performance I/O needs, such as:

Web serving
