IBM AHS5 4.8 TB NVMe FlashCore Module for FlashSystem 9200

The IBM AHS5 is a 4.8 TB NVMe FlashCore Module for IBM FlashSystem 9100 and 9200 control enclosures.

Product Description

The IBM AHS5 (feature code AHS5, part number 02YC416) is a 4.8 TB usable FlashCore Module 2 (FCM2). It uses the NVMe interface in a 2.5-inch form factor and includes hardware-accelerated inline compression and always-on AES-256 encryption. IBM rates this 4.8 TB FCM2 at approximately 21.99 TB effective capacity. Feature AHS5 is used on FlashSystem 9100 and 9200 systems. Related features on other platforms include AES5 (FlashSystem 5100), ADS5 (FlashSystem 7200), and AGS5 (FlashSystem 5200).
