IBM / Lenovo 00AJ010 480GB 6Gbps SATA 2.5-inch SFF MLC HS Hybrid Carrier Enterprise Read Optimized Endurance Value SSD with 44T2216 tray

Features

The S3500 SATA MLC Enterprise Value SDDs have the following features:

• Industry standard 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3.5-inch form factors
• Support for a conventional 2.5-inch drive bay (2.5-inch SSDs), 3.5-inch drive bay (3.5-inch SSDs),
• eXFlash drive bay (1.8-inch SSDs), or SSD drive bay (1.8-inch SSDs) on selected System x,
• iDataPlex®, BladeCenter®, and Flex System™ servers
• Cost-effective Intel 20 nm MLC NAND flash memory
• SATA MLC solid-state drive with high read performance and consistently low latencies to fulfill client needs in the enterprise space
• High reliability and enhanced ruggedness
• Energy saving, with as little as 5 W power consumption per drive
• Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server
• S.M.A.R.T. support
• Advanced Encrypting Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
• Full end-to-end data path protection
• Thermal throttling to extend the life of the drive
• Enhanced power loss data protection

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

The TBW value that is assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data that a drive can be guaranteed to complete. Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail; the TBW simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid-state device does not fail upon reaching the specified TBW, but at some point after surpassing the TBW value (and based on manufacturing variance margins), the drive reaches the end-of-life point, at which time the drive goes into read-only mode. Because of such behavior, careful planning must be done to use SSDs in the application environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive is not exceeded before the required life expectancy.

For example, for the S3500 240GB SATA 2.5-inch MLC Enterprise Value SSD to last in five years inside of the 140 TB of TBW, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 77 GB of writes per day. For the device to last in three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 128 GB of writes per day.
