Product Description
The IBM ESNP 600GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4k Cached Disk Drive (Part Number: 01LU580, Feature Code: ESNP) is a high-performance 2.5-inch disk designed for IBM Power Systems running AIX or Linux. With a 6 Gbps SAS interface, 600GB capacity formatted with 4096-byte sectors, and CCIN 5B45, it includes a 256MB DRAM cache for enhanced performance. 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 can be reformatted to 4224-byte sectors for 571GB capacity, aligning with IBM ESNR for IBM i. The ESNP ensures reliable storage with error correction, optimizing system performance for demanding workloads like ERP and databases. This disk drive offers a cost-effective solution for upgrading system units, enhancing scalability in challenging environments, ensuring efficiency and data integrity.[](https://datatechcomputer.com/disk-drives/ibm-9009-esnp-600gb-15k-rpm-sas-sff-3-4k-block-cached-disk-drive/)

Compatibility
The IBM ESNP 600GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3 4k Cached Disk Drive (01LU580) is compatible with IBM Power Systems running AIX or Linux, providing high-speed storage for system units. It supports SFF-3 SAS bays in Power8 and Power9 servers, such as 8286-41A, 8286-42A, 9119-MME, and 9009-41A, but is incompatible with EXP24S Gen2 drawers due to carrier differences. The drive, with CCIN 5B45, uses 4096-byte sectors and can be reformatted to 4224-byte sectors for 571GB, aligning with IBM ESNR for IBM i compatibility. It requires compatible SAS controllers (e.g., EJ0L, EJ14) and cannot be mixed in arrays with drives of different sector sizes. The ESNP optimizes system performance, supporting virtualization and compute-intensive applications in demanding environments:
- Power8: 8286-41A, 8286-42A; Power9: 9119-MME, 9009-41A.
- Requires EJ0L or EJ14 SAS controllers with SFF-3 bays.
- Reformattable to 4224-byte sectors for IBM i systems.
Note: Incompatible with EXP24S Gen2 drawers; requires matching sector sizes.
