    • Power 9 AIX

    Disk for Power9 AIX

    The IBM Power9 9009 Drives subcategory on DataTechComputer.com specializes in compatible disk drives and SSDs for IBM Power9 servers with machine type 9009 (models including S914/9009-41A/41G, S922/9009-22A/22G, S924/9009-42A, E950, E980) running AIX or Linux workloads. These drives are primarily SAS-3 SFF-3 (2.5-inch small form factor) using 12 Gb/s SAS interface, hot-swappable in internal bays or EXP12SX/EXP24SX expansion drawers. They support RAID-5/6/10 protection and full integration with AIX/Linux environments. Offerings include high-performance 10K/15K RPM HDDs for transactional workloads and Enterprise/Mainstream SSDs (read-intensive, eMLC4 endurance) for high-IOPS needs, with capacities from 283 GB to 3.72 TB (SSD) and 300 GB to 600 GB (HDD). Sector formats include 4K (4224-byte) or 5xx (528-byte) for SSDs. All drives are tested, come with 60-day warranty, and qualify for IBM maintenance.

    Power9 9009 systems feature:

    • Internal SFF-3 SAS bays (typically 8–18 depending on model/backplane).
    • Max internal capacity up to ~30–50 TB (drive mix dependent; higher with EXP24SX drawers).
    • Optional EXP12SX/EXP24SX drawers add 12/24 SFF bays each (SAS only).
    • Drives are hot-swappable and optimized for AIX/Linux native use.

    Key Disk Drive Types for Power9 9009 AIX/Linux Systems
