IBM SATA 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch MLC Enterprise Value

SSDs

IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The IBM® Enterprise Value solid-state drives (SSDs) employ cost-effective MLC NAND technology to bring an affordable and performance-driven solution for read-intensive applications. These SSDs are available as 2.5-inch form factor drives with both simple-swap and hot-swap options, as well as 1.8-inch drive 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 HDD replacement enclosure, these SSDs integrate easily in existing storage infrastructures.

Figure 1 shows IBM SATA 2.5-inch MLC Enterprise Value SSD.

Did you know

Unlike client drives, these 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch hot swap (HS) 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/watt and cost/IOPS 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, IBM Enterprise Value MLC SSDs are covered under IBM warranty. These drives carry a 1-year limited warranty, or when installed in an IBM System x server, these drives assume your system's base warranty.

§ This SSD can be a hot-swap or non-hot-swap drive depending on a server in which it is installed.

* 4 KB block transfers

† 128 KB block transfers

Enterprise Value SSDs and Enterprise SSDs have similar read and write IOPS performance, but the key difference between them is their endurance (or life time) (that is, how long they can perform write operations because SSDs have a finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles). Enterprise Value SSDs have a better cost/IOPS ratio but lower endurance compared to Enterprise SSDs. SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, that the drive incurs over its lifetime, listed as TBW in the device specification.

The TBW value assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data (based on the number of

P/E cycles) that a drive can be guaranteed to complete (% of remaining P/E cycles = % of remaining

TBW). Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail. It simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid-state device will not fail upon reaching the specified

TBW. At some point based on manufacturing variance margin, after surpassing the TBW value, the drive will reach the end-of-life point, at which the drive will go into a read-only mode. Because of such behavior by Enterprise Value solid-state drives, careful planning must be done to use them only in read-intensive environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive will not be exceeded prior to the required life expectancy.


The endurance of Enterprise Value drives is specified based on the following access pattern: 50% random data and 50% sequential data with block size mixes of 5% of the data as 4 KB block size, 5% of the data as 8 KB block size, 10% of the data as 16 KB block size, 35% of the data as 64 KB block size, and 35% of the data as 128 KB block size. The Enterprise Value drives described here are capable of 36

TB (64 GB SSD) or 72 TB (128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB SSDs) of lifetime writes, with the workload stated above as the worse case. For the device to last in five years inside of the 72 TB of TBW, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 40 GB of writes per day. For the device to last in three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 65 GB of writes per day.

Supported servers

The solid-state drives can be installed in the System x and iDataPlex servers identified in Table 3 and the

BladeCenter and Flex System servers identified in Table 4.
