IBM 5B12 1.55 TB Enterprise SSD is a fourth generation (eMLC4) 2.5-inch sold state drive, formatted with 4k byte sectors, has 00LY338 01LU930 00LY623 00LY370 00LU867 02YC569 00LY317 00LY321 02YC679 02YC877 part numbers, and is supported in SFF-2 SAS bays of an IBM EXP24S 5887 or EL1S or EXP24SX ESLS I/O drawer for up to 37.2 TB of flash memory technology storage. The IBM 5B12 1.55TB 4K Enterprise SSD may have ESBM ES8G ES8F ESNF ESGQ ESBL ESNE ELGP ESKG ESKH feature codes depending on the OS type and machine the IBM Disk Drive was originally purchased and installed. The different feature codes for the IBM 5B12 00LY338 00LY623 SSD are used by IBM configuration tools to specify which OS type, drive format and carrier tray is needed for the installation of the solid state drive. The IBM 00LY338 00LY623 5B12 SSD is supported on IBM i, AIX and Linux Servers with Power9, Power8 and Power7 generation systems
 
The 2.5-inch fourth generation IBM SSDs with eMLC4 require the correct carrier tray for installation. IBM eMLC4 solid state drives can be installed in SFF-3 SAS bays of a IBM Power System CEC or SFF-2 SAS bays in IBM EXP24S (5887 or EL1S) or EXP24SX (ESLS) I/O drawer, providing up to 24 SSDs for 37.2 TB of flash memory technology storage.

As with earlier IBM enterprise SSDs, these solid state drives are designed to deliver great endurance and reliability. These 4th generation enterprise class eMLC SSDs were tested to provide 24x7x365 usage running write-intensive levels for about five years. Actual customer writes will be much lower, and thus the SSD life span will be much longer. Similar to the eMLC3 SSDs, the new SSDs provide a Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) rating of approximately "10", which estimates the number of times the SSD's capacity could be written per day over the projected life of the drive. The new eMLC4 SAS SSDs provide significantly improved price/performance compared to previous eMLC3 SSDs. eMLC4 SSD performance is improved over previous generations of Power eMLC SSDs. Compared to the eMLC3 SSDs, the new eMLC4 drives offer improved input/output operations per second (IOPS), throughput, and latency. For example, measurements show:
 
Up to 50% higher maximum IOPS value for random mixed read/write workloads
Up to 750 MBps while reading from the drive or up to 470 MBps while writing to the drive
Up to 20% better latency running a random mixed read/write workload (down to a 0.12 ms latency)
 
IBM Power eMLC flash memory provides enterprise-class performance and reliability characteristics. The new fourth-generation eMLC SSDs build upon a heritage of performance and endurance to provide a better value proposition to users of Power8 and Power7 servers. They provide SAS 6 Gbps capability, but are designed to be 12 Gbps compliant if future SAS adapters support 12 Gbps capability.
 
Note: IBM 4k drives cannot be reformatted to 5xx drives (or vice versa). IBM is transitioning away from manufacturing SAS Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives (SSD) formatted with 512 and 528-byte sector (5xx), and instead will only be providing 4K byte sector drives. Although most AIX and Linux applications will not experience issues since data access to the SAS drives is via a file system, companies should confirm with their application provider to ensure compatibility with using SSD or HDD with 4K byte sectors. AIX and Linux applications that require direct access to the raw data on the SSD or HDD, may require 512 and 528-byte sector (5xx) sectors drives.
