What interface and capacity does the IBM 49Y6143 provide?

The IBM 49Y6143 features an 800GB capacity with SAS 6Gb/s interface in a 2.5-inch MLC form factor. This supports sequential transfers up to 6Gb/s and is optimized for hot-swap bays in IBM System x servers like HS23 blades, delivering reliable performance for enterprise read-heavy applications.

Which IBM servers is the 49Y6143 compatible with?

Designed for IBM System x platforms including HS23 blade servers and x3100 M4 tower servers. It fits standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bays and has been tested through IBM's ServerProven program for storage subsystem reliability and seamless integration.

What workloads is the 49Y6143 best suited for?

Ideal for read-intensive workloads such as virtualization boot volumes, database caching, and data tiering in data centers. MLC technology provides balanced endurance and cost-efficiency over SLC alternatives for moderate write applications.

Does the 49Y6143 support hot-swap operations?

Yes, as a hot-swap (HS) SSD, it allows replacement without powering down the server. Compatible with SAS backplanes in System x chassis, ensuring minimal downtime in production environments.

What enterprise features does this SSD include?

Includes power-loss protection to commit data in flight to NAND during outages, end-to-end data path protection, and thermal management. These features enhance reliability in 24/7 datacenter operations.

How does MLC technology benefit deployment?

3-bit MLC NAND offers higher density and lower cost per GB than SLC, with sufficient endurance for read-heavy enterprise use. Balances performance, capacity, and TCO for System x storage upgrades.
