Overview

As the newest additions to the IBM System x family of 2.5-inch -inch SAS hard drives, hybrids, and SAS SEDs, the 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps 2.5-inch hot-swap and simple-swap drives offer the high-density and high-performance
drive options providing a broad selection of choices to satisfy a wide range of applications. The drives are 512 emulation (512e) a new drive format technology to increase drive capacity while maintaining data integrity. These new drives are positioned at the top of the IBM SAS hard drive line.

The new 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps SAS drives are offered in a 2.5-inch form factor. The SAS hard drives and hybrid drives are available as hot-swap and simple-swap versions. The SAS SEDs are available only as hot-swap versions.

The hybrid drives combine a cache of NAND flash and conventional media to accelerate hard disk drive performance, enabling higher I/O performance while leveraging the capacity and cost of spinning media for primary storage.

The SED is designed to reduce the vulnerability of data at rest to potentially costly exposures of proprietary data resulting from hard drives being stolen, misplaced, or improperly disposed Key features and benefits include: Increased bandwidth. 12 Gbps SAS hard drive, SED, and hybrids support 12 Gbps link rates Higher density. 512e SAS drives meet client requirements for larger capacities in a 2.5-inch form factor - up to 1.8 TB RoHS compliance. 10,000 and 15,000 rpm 2.5-inch SAS hard drive/SED drives are RoHS compliant Reliability. Outstanding reliability enables operation in RAID environments without compromising application performance or availability Security. The self-encrypting drives (SEDs) include drive-level AES 256 encryption.

These drives are compatible with Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM) for System x, which offers centralized, automated, and simple encryption key management of SEDs in local and distributed System x environments Increased performance. The hybrid drives incorporate a cache of NAND flash to promote "hot data" and accelerate hard disk drive performance You can increase your storage and data management effectiveness when you install these new high-density SAS drives in your IBM System x configurations Performance characteristics for the 300 GB, 600 GB, 900 GB, 1.2 TB, and 1.8 TB drives include:
Formatted capacity of 300,000 MB through 1,800,000 MB. Drive-to-host interface that supports up to 12.0 Gbps burst rate in 12 Gbps SAS drives 12.0 Gbps burst rate SAS performance is possible when used on a System x server with 12 Gbps devices and infrastructure Drive media to buffer interface that supports sustained interface data transfers of up to 230 MiB per second average for 10K drives and up to 246 MiB per second average for 15K drives Spindle speed of 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm. Hot-swap capability for SAS drives. SAS interface. For optimal performance with 512e drives, the host system software stack must be 512e aware

For more information, reference IBMs Advanced Format Redpaper at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5119.html Reliability SAS compliance enables these hard drives, SEDs and hybrids drives to connect directly to selected System x systems
S.M.A.R.T. allows software utilities to alert you of certain impending drive failures so replacements can be made before a problem occurs Rigorous testing through the ServerProven program instills confidence that your storage subsystem is compatible and will function reliably These hard drive, SED and hybrid drives include a one-year, limited-warranty

At a glance

IBM 300 GB, 600 GB, 900 GB, 1.2 TB, and 1.8 TB 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps 2.5-inch hot-swap and simple-swap SAS hard disk drives (hard drives), hybrid drives, and self-encrypting drives (SEDs) can provide multiple options to meet storage performance and capacity requirements while offering various features to address more specific needs
These new drives are 512 emulation (512e), a new drive technology to increase drive capacity while maintaining data integrity All SAS drives are RoHS compliant.

hard drive, SED, and hybrid drive features include:

  • 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm hard drives deliver SAS hard drive reliability and largest capacity performance in the IBM hard drive family.
  • SAS drive-to-host interface supports up to 12.0 Gbps burst rate, which can be achieved when the drive is used on a System x server with 12 Gbps devices and infrastructure.
  • 2.5-inch, slim-line form factor optimizes storage capacity.
  • Software utilities allow for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) to alert you of certain impending drive failures so that replacements can be made.
  • Hot-swap and simple-swap versions of the IBM SAS 2.5-inch hard drives and hybrid drives are available.
  • SEDs are available in hot-swap versions. One-year warranty is included.

For optimal performance with 512e drives, the host system software stack must be 512e aware. For more information, reference IBMs Advanced Format Redpaper at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5119.html

Hybrid drive features include:

  • Formatted capacity of 300,000 MB or 600,000 MB
  • 32,000 MB (32 GB) NAND flash to cache "hot data"
  • Spindle speed up to 15,000 rpm.

Fine-tuning of storage tiering by caching at the I/O level SED features include:

  • Drive-level AES 256 encryption
  • Safeguard against costly security breaches and exposure of proprietary data if a hard drive is stolen or lost Rich security options to help ensure compliancy with data security, information disclosure, and privacy regulations for data at rest Ability to securely erase data for disk disposition, redeployment, or service calls.
  • Encryption functionality (supported when used in conjunction with supported ServeRAID controllers and optional Advance Feature Keys) MegaRAID Management Suite (MSM), which offers a quick and simple configuration path to disk encryption and also assists with local key management.
  • Compatibility with Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM) for System x, which offers centralized, automated, and simple encryption key management of SEDs in local and distributed System x environments

Key Prerequisites

IBM System x system with SAS capability. For optimal 12 Gbps SAS performance, an IBM System x system with 12 Gbps devices and infrastructure is required
