One-year limited warranty or assumed system warranty on all SSDs.

Overview

IBM 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB SATA MLC Entry SSDs are new solid-state drives for

System x that are designed to deliver very fast and consistent performance to read-

heavy workload demands at the best cost-efficiency of any data-center-class SSD.

The new entry data-center-class SSDs for System x are available as 2.5-inch and

3.5-inch standard form factor (SFF) in the 240 GB, 480 GB, or 960 GB densities,

each delivering high sequential throughput of 530 MBps read and 410 MBps write.

The SSDs are built with a 3-bit MLC NAND and advanced controller technology in a

very cost-efficient design that drives a low-storage TCO with a high-performance-

based ROI.

Fast, sustained random read performance of up to 87,000 IOPS and sustained

random write of 15,000 IOPS make the IBM 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB SATA MLC

Entry SSDs an optimal solid-state solutions for Hyperscale, cloud, and big data read-

intensive workloads.
