What interface and form factor does the IBM 49Y6140 use?

The IBM 49Y6140 features a SAS 6Gb/s interface in a 2.5-inch SFF hot-swap design, compatible with IBM System x servers. Dimensions are 9.5 x 69.9 x 99.8 mm, weighing 121g, allowing direct HDD replacement.

Is the 49Y6140 suitable for high-endurance workloads?

Yes, it uses 24nm MLC NAND with high endurance for moderate read/write applications like databases and caching. Designed for up to 72TB lifetime writes, suitable for enterprise tiering with daily write limits of 40-65GB.

What enterprise features does this SSD provide?

Includes power backup circuitry for data protection during failures, temperature management to avoid overheating, and end-to-end data path protection. No moving parts reduce failure points in servers.

What are the environmental operating specs?

Operates from 0-70°C (32-158°F), 8-85% non-condensing humidity, up to 3,050m altitude. Ensures reliability in standard data center conditions without additional cooling.

How does it integrate with IBM servers?

Hot-swap capable for System x with SAS capability. Packaged in HDD replacement enclosure for easy integration into existing storage infrastructures.

What performance benefits over HDDs?

Delivers superior random I/O and sequential throughput versus HDDs, with low latency for read-heavy workloads. MLC technology balances cost and performance for data center ROI.
