Note: Some configurations may not be compatible.

Limitations

Solid State Memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of write cycles that each

cell can incur. As a result each solid state device has a maximum amount of write

cycles it can be subjected to, documented as TBW (Total Bytes Written). IBM is not

responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the maximum guaranteed

number of write cycles. This limit may be revealed as the SSD drive failing to

communicate to system-generated commands or become incapable of being written

to.
