    • IBM Power9 iSeries Disk Drives - IBM 9009 Power9

    IBM Power9 iSeries Disk Drives for 9009 Systems

    The IBM Power9 9009 Drives subcategory on DataTechComputer.com specializes in compatible disk drives for IBM Power9 servers with machine type 9009 (models including S914/9009-41A/41G, S922/9009-22A/22G, S924/9009-42A, E950, E980). These drives are primarily SAS-3 SFF-3 (2.5-inch small form factor) HDDs and SSDs 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 native IBM i integration. Options include high-performance 10K/15K RPM HDDs for transactional workloads and enterprise/mainstream SSDs (read-intensive, write-intensive, eMLC4) for high-IOPS needs, with capacities from 283 GB to 3.84 TB (SSD) and 283 GB to 1.8 TB (HDD). Sector formats include 528-byte (5xx) or 4K (4224-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; no native NVMe in basic configs).
    • Drives are hot-swappable and optimized for IBM i native use (V7R2–V7R5).

    Key Disk Drive Types for Power9 9009 Systems

    • Enterprise SAS HDDs — High-performance 15K RPM for quick-response IBM i tasks (e.g., 283 GB).
