As the newest additions to the IBM System x family of 2.5-inch SAS HDDs, hybrids, and SAS SEDs, the 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps 2.5-inch hot-swap and simple-swap drives offer the high-density and high-performance drive options providing a broad selection of choices to satisfy a wide range of applications. The drives are 512 emulation (512e) drive format technology to increase drive capacity while maintaining data integrity. Thesedrives are positioned at the top of the IBM SAS HDD line.
The 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps SAS drives are offered in a 2.5-inch form factor. The SAS HDDs and hybrid drives are available as hot-swap and simple-swap versions. The SAS SEDs are available only as hot-swap versions.
The hybrid drives combine a cache of NAND flash and conventional media to accelerate hard disk drive performance, enabling higher I/O performance while leveraging the capacity and cost of spinning media for primary storage.
The SED is designed to reduce the vulnerability of data at rest to potentially costly exposures of proprietary data resulting from hard drives being stolen, misplaced, or improperly disposed.
