Product Description
The IBM 9009 ESND 775GB SAS SFF-3 4k SSD (Part Number: 00LY334) is a high-performance 2.5-inch solid-state drive designed for IBM Power Systems running IBM i. With a 775GB capacity formatted with 4k (4224-byte) sectors and CCIN 5B14, it features a 256MB DRAM cache and eMLC4 technology for 10 drive writes per day (DWPD). The drive uses a Gen-3 carrier tray for SFF-3 SAS bays in system units and SFF-2 SAS bays in EXP24S I/O drawers but is incompatible with EXP24SX drawers due to bay differences. It delivers reliable, high-speed storage for virtualization and data-intensive applications, with error correction for robust performance. The ESND is optimized for Power9 servers like 9009-41A and Power8 servers like 8286-41A, supporting demanding workloads like ERP and databases. This SSD offers a cost-effective solution for upgrading system units, enhancing scalability and reliability in challenging environments, ensuring efficiency and data integrity.

Compatibility
The IBM 9009 ESND 775GB SAS SFF-3 4k SSD (00LY334) is compatible with IBM Power Systems, supporting IBM i, AIX, Linux, and VIOS. It integrates with Power9 servers, such as 9009-22A, 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9119-MME, and 9040-MR9, and Power8 servers, including 8286-41A and 8286-42A. It is also supported in Power7 servers with EXP24S I/O drawers (5887 or EL1S). The drive requires SFF-3 SAS bays in system units or SFF-2 SAS bays in EXP24S drawers, along with compatible SAS controllers (e.g., EJ0L, EJ14). It is not compatible with EXP24SX drawers due to carrier differences. For RAID configurations, drives must match sector sizes to ensure proper functionality. The ESND optimizes system performance, supporting virtualization and data-intensive applications like ERP and databases:
- Power9: 9009-22A, 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9119-MME, 9040-MR9.
- Power8: 8286-41A, 8286-42A; Power7 with EXP24S (5887, EL1S).
- Supports IBM i, AIX, Linux, VIOS operating systems.
- Requires SFF-3/SFF-2 SAS bays and compatible controllers.
Note: Incompatible with EXP24SX drawers; requires matching sector sizes.
