The new 2.5-inch form-factor drives provide solid-state technology for IBM® System

x® and IBM BladeCenter®.

Benefits include:

• Larger, 200 GB capacity for the single drive to accommodate loading applications

along with OS booting

• Help in reducing potential points of failure internal to the blade server by

delivering solid-state reliability in the IBM storage family

• 2.5-inch form factor that fits into a conventional disk-drive bay

• Energy saving with as little as 2.3-watt power consumption per drive

• S.M.A.R.T. which, through the use of software utilities, can alert you of certain

impending drive failures

• One-year limited warranty

Overview

The new IBM 200 GB SATA 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) solid-state drives bring

solid-state high performance, reliability, and low-power capabilities to BladeCenter

and System x storage. The new 200 GB SSD drives will each be available as a single

2.5-inch SFF drive.

Key features and benefits include:

• Low power requirements (2.3 watts per drive) to help you better manage the

power envelope of the datacenter

• Uptime up to three times that of conventional hard drives without compromising

application performance or availability

• High-capacity storage solutions for read/write-intensive applications

• Durability that helps withstand challenging environmental conditions

• Ideal drives for local boot usage and web serving applications, and in

environments where application data is accessed in external storage

200 GB performance characteristics include:

• Formatted capacity: Up to 200,000 MB

• Drive to host interface that supports 3.0 Gb/s burst rate

• Internal transfer read rate: Up to 150 MB/s
