IBM AES6 9.6TB NVMe FlashCore Module 2 for FlashSystem 5100 02CL187
The IBM AES6 is a 9.6 TB FlashCore Module 2 designed for IBM FlashSystem 5100 control enclosures, the same platform family as feature AES5.
Product Description
The IBM AES6 (feature code AES6, part number 02CL187) is a 9.6 TB usable FlashCore Module 2 (FCM2). It uses the NVMe interface in a 2.5-inch, 15 mm form factor and includes hardware-accelerated inline compression and always-on AES-256 encryption. IBM rates FCM2 9.6 TB modules at 21.99 TB effective capacity. Feature AES5 is the 4.8 TB FCM2 module for the same FlashSystem 5100 family. Feature ADS6 is the related 9.6 TB FCM2 feature for FlashSystem 7200. Feature AGS6 is the related 9.6 TB FCM2 feature for FlashSystem 5200.
