Product Description
IBM AGSG 19.2TB FlashCore Module 4
Enhance your storage infrastructure with the IBM AGSG 19.2TB FlashCore Module 4, a high-capacity NVMe drive designed for demanding data environments. This module delivers exceptional speed and efficiency through advanced flash technology, making it suitable for integration into compatible IBM FlashSystem arrays.
Key Features
- Capacity and Performance: Offers 19.2 TB of usable storage with potential effective capacity up to 57.6 TB at a 3:1 compression ratio, supporting high-throughput workloads.
- Hardware-Accelerated Compression and Encryption: Built-in AES-256 encryption and always-on compression ensure data security and optimization without impacting performance.
- Ransomware Detection: Integrated machine learning analyzes I/O patterns in real-time to identify anomalies indicative of threats like ransomware.
- Interface: PCIe 4.0 NVMe for improved data transfer rates, read bandwidth up to 2,200 MB/s, and read IOPS up to 150k (16K blocks).
- Form Factor: 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) for easy installation in supported enclosures.
- RAID Support: Compatible with DRAID 6 (recommended) or DRAID 5 arrays; must match capacities within the same array for optimal operation.

Compatibility
The IBM AGSG 19.2TB FlashCore Module 4 is designed for use in IBM FlashSystem storage systems, including:
- IBM FlashSystem 5200
- IBM FlashSystem 5300
- IBM FlashSystem 7300
- IBM FlashSystem 9500/9500R
It can be intermixed with previous generation FlashCore Modules (e.g., FCM3) in the same array, though it will operate at FCM3-equivalent functionality when mixed. For full FCM4 capabilities, use in all-FCM4 arrays. Supports integration with IBM Storage Virtualize software version 8.6.0 or later. Ensure all modules in a RAID array have matching capacities. Compatible with expansion enclosures via SAS connectivity in clustered setups, scaling up to petabyte-level capacities.
Warranty Information
This product comes with a 60-day warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
