Product Description
IBM AGT4 7.68TB NVMe Flash Drive
Elevate your storage capabilities with the IBM AGT4 7.68TB NVMe Flash Drive, a robust industry-standard NVMe SSD designed for high-performance, low-latency access in enterprise-grade environments. This drive delivers substantial capacity and reliable throughput, serving as an ideal component for compatible IBM FlashSystem arrays.
Key Features
- Capacity and Performance — Offers 7.68 TB of usable storage, providing strong read/write speeds and high IOPS for demanding mixed and general workloads.
- Interface — PCIe NVMe ensures significantly reduced latency, superior bandwidth, and enhanced data transfer rates over traditional protocols.
- Form Factor — Compact 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) for simple and efficient installation in supported drive bays.
- Encryption Support — Compatible with system-level hardware-based AES-256 encryption when deployed in supported IBM FlashSystem configurations.
- RAID Support — Operates effectively in DRAID or standard RAID setups; all drives within an array must share matching capacities to achieve optimal performance and protection.
