The new IBM S3500 solid-state drives (SSDs) provide an affordable, reliable, and performance-driven solution for high-capacity, read-intensive applications by employing a 6 Gbps SATA interface and cost-effective MLC NAND technology. These drives present an opportunity for you to simplify your local storage infrastructure to help maintain overall maintenance and cooling cost, while considering remote storage solutions for end-to-end data availability.

Benefits include:

• High capacities in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form  factors that fit into a conventional disk-drive bay
• Industry-leading cost-effective MLC NAND technology with high read performance of random 4 KB reads, up to 72,000 IOPS
• Enhanced power-loss data protection, which reduces  potential data loss by detecting and protecting data from an unexpected      system power loss
• Enterprise data protection to ensure NAND integrity
• Rigorous testing through the ServerProven program  for the storage subsystem, which instills confidence that your storage      subsystem is compatible and will function reliably
• 2.5-inch SSDs available as either HS or SS drives

IBM 200 GB, 400 GB, and 800 GB 3.5-inch SAS SSDs

The 200 GB, 400 GB, and 800 GB SSDs provide a high-performance, reliable solution for high-capacity Enterprise applications with a moderate read/write mix by employing a 6 Gbps SAS interface and MLC NAND technology. These solid-state drives present an opportunity for you to simplify your local storage infrastructure to help maintain overall maintenance and cooling cost, while considering remote storage solutions for end-to-end data availability.

Benefits include:

• 3.5-inch form factor that fits into a conventional  disk-drive bay
• 200 GB, 400 GB, and 800 GB capacities to accommodate loading applications along with OS booting
• Cost-effective MLC NAND technology with high read and write performance
• Enterprise data protection to ensure NAND integrity
• Rigorous testing through the ServerProven program, which instills confidence that your storage subsystem is compatible and will function reliably

All SSDs offer a 1-year limited warranty, or system warranty.
