Product Description
The IBM 9009 ES91 387GB Enterprise SAS 4k SFF-3 SSD (Part Number: 00LY333) is a high-performance 2.5-inch solid-state drive designed for IBM Power Systems running IBM i. With a 6 Gbps SAS interface, 387GB capacity formatted with 4224-byte sectors, and CCIN 5B13, 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 but is incompatible with EXP24S Gen2 drawers due to carrier differences. It delivers reliable, high-speed storage for virtualization and data-intensive applications, with error correction for robust performance. The ES91 is optimized for Power9 servers like 9009-41A, supporting demanding workloads like ERP and databases. This SSD offers a cost-effective storage solution for upgrading system units, enhancing scalability and reliability in challenging environments, ensuring efficiency and data integrity.

Compatibility
The IBM 9009 ES91 387GB Enterprise SAS 4k SFF-3 SSD (ES91) is compatible with IBM Power Systems running IBM i, providing high-performance storage for system units. It supports SFF-3 SAS bays in Power9 servers, such as 9009-22A, 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9119-MME, and 9040-MR9, but is incompatible with EXP24S Gen2 drawers due to carrier differences. The drive, with CCIN 5B13, uses 4224-byte sectors for IBM i and requires compatible SAS controllers (e.g., EJ0L, EJ14) for connectivity. It cannot be mixed in arrays with drives of different sector sizes. The ES91 optimizes system performance, supporting virtualization and critical data-intensive applications like ERP and databases in demanding environments:
- Power9: 9009-22A, 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9119-MME, 9040-MR9.
- Supports IBM i with 4224-byte sectors.
- Requires EJ0L or EJ14 SAS controllers with SFF-3 bays.
Note: Incompatible with EXP24S Gen2 drawers; requires matching sector sizes.
