IBM Power7 8202-E4B (#1890) - 69GB SFF SAS Solid State Drive

The IBM 1890 69GB SFF SAS Solid State Drive (SSD) provides 69.7 GB of high performance storage (3Gb/sec or 300MB/sec), much faster than spinning hard disk drives due to positioning the disk arm and waiting for the spinning disk to rotate under the arm. IBM 1890 69GB SFF SSD SAS Solid State Drives provide lower power utilization than spinning or hard disk drives (HDD). The drive is formatted to 69.7 GB and can be used by AIX, Linux (#1890) and IBM iSeries (#1909). Both are identical drives, but have different feature codes to help the IBM configuration tools understand how the SSD is used.
