IBM Power11 iSeries Disk Drives for 9824 Systems

The IBM Power11 iSeries Disk Drives for 9824 Systems refer to storage options compatible with the latest IBM Power11 scale-out servers (machine type 9824), such as the S1122 (9824-22A) and S1124 (9824-42A) models. These systems use high-performance enterprise NVMe U.2 SSDs (PCIe4/PCIe5) in hot-swappable bays or optional NED24/NED48 expansion drawers. Power11 servers emphasize NVMe for maximum throughput, low latency, and AI-optimized workloads on IBM i, AIX, or Linux. Disk drives are sold as individual modules or configured in systems, with capacities from 3.2 TB to 15.3 TB per drive (Mainstream or Enterprise class), supporting RAID protection and full IBM i integration.

Power11 (9824) systems feature:

  • Internal storage bays (e.g., EJ1X backplane with 4–16 U.2 NVMe slots).
  • Max internal capacity up to 244.8 TB (16 × 15.3 TB Mainstream NVMe U.2 4K SSD) or 102.4 TB (16 × 6.4 TB Enterprise NVMe U.2).
  • Optional NED24 drawers add 24 U.2 NVMe bays each (up to 2 drawers supported).
  • All drives are hot-swappable, PCIe4/Gen5 compatible, and optimized for IBM i native use.

Key Disk Drive Types for Power11 9824 Systems

  • Enterprise NVMe U.2 SSDs — High-endurance, low-latency for mission-critical IBM i workloads (e.g., 3.2 TB, 6.4 TB modules).
  • Mainstream NVMe U.2 SSDs — Cost-effective high-capacity options (e.g., 15.3 TB 4K sector drives).
  • Compatibility — Only U.2 NVMe drives (PCIe4/PCIe5); no SAS/SATA mixing in internal bays.

These drives provide superior performance over older SCSI/SAS generations, with full support for IBM i 7.5/7.6, PowerVM, and hybrid cloud integrations.

The following U.2 NVMe devices are supported in the NED24 NVMe Expansion Drawer:

Tailored Configurations

As an IBM Business Partner, DataTech Computer adjusts IBM Power11 iSeries storage configurations to suit performance and cost preferences, promoting easy fit into Power11 systems.

All drives include a 60-day warranty and qualify for IBM maintenance, supporting smooth upgrades or replacements in 22A and 42A models.
