Compatibility
The IBM 9009 ES8W 1.55TB SFF-3 SSD (00LY335) is compatible with IBM Power Systems, including Power9 servers such as 9009-22A, 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9119-MME, and 9040-MR9, and Power8 servers like 8286-41A and 8286-42A. It supports IBM i, AIX, Linux, and VIOS operating systems, making it versatile for enterprise applications. The drive is designed for SFF-3 SAS bays in system units and expansion enclosures, requiring compatible SAS controllers (e.g., EJ0L, EJ14) for optimal performance. It is not compatible with SFF-2 bays or non-SAS interfaces, so systems must support SFF-3 SAS bays. The ES8W cannot be mixed in RAID arrays with drives of different sector sizes. It is ideal for high-capacity storage needs in data centers, supporting applications like virtualization, database management, and backup solutions. Its robust design ensures reliable performance, providing scalability and efficiency for enterprise storage environments with growing data demands.
