IBM 90Y8648 – IBM 128GB SATA 2.5in MLC HS Enterprise Value SSD

IBM Enterprise Value. SSD capacity: 128 GB, SSD form factor: 2.5″, Read speed: 500 MB/s, Write speed: 260 MB/s, Data transfer rate: 6 Gbit/sSolid-state drives have more than 100 times better IOPS performance and lower access latency withsignificantly reduced power consumption compared to traditional spinning hard disk drives.Entry MLC SSDs and Enterprise MLC SSDs have similar read and write IOPS performance, but the keydifference between them is their endurance (or life time) (that is, how long they can perform writeoperations because SSDs have a finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles). Entry SSDs have a better$/IOPS ratio but lower endurance compared to Enterprise SSDs. Because of that, Entry SSDs are idealfor web serving, video on demand, data warehouse, content delivery, and other read-intensive randomworkloads.Providing that additional peace of mind, IBM 128 GB and 256 GB MLC SSDs are covered under IBMwarranty. These drives carry a 1-year limited warranty, or when installed in an IBM System x® server,these drives assume your system’s base warranty.
