IBM 59E6 00E8670 00LY167 00E8666 387GB SFF-3 SSD eMLC4 iSeries IBM i Power Systems ES0M ES0L EL14
IBM ES0M 387GB SFF-3 SSD with eMLC for iSeries Power systems is a SFF 2.5-inch SAS Solid State Drive (SSD) formatted with 528 byte sectors, is supported in SFF-3 SAS bays of IBM Power9 and Power8 system units, has 00E8670 00LY167 00E8666 part numbers and reports with 59E6 CCIN. The IBM 59E6 Enterprise SSD (eMLC) flash memory technology is used to provide extremely reliable, cost effective SSD storage. The IBM ES0L ES0L ES0M Solid State Drives are physically identical drives which have different feature codes that specify how the SSD is used. ES0L and EL14 indicates usage by IBM AIX, Linux Server or VIOS, and ES0M indicates usage by IBM i.
The third generation IBM SSDs with eMLC3 require the correct carrier tray for installation. IBM eMLC3 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 hold 24 SSDs for flash memory technology storage. Below are fourth generation IBM SSDs with eMLC4 technology.

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)
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.
Support of the new Enterprise SSDs by earlier SAS adapters prior to PCIe3 is not planned. The SSD configuration rules, maximums, limitations, and capabilities of these PCIe3 SAS adapters and integrated POWER8 SAS controllers are unchanged, whether new Enterprise SSDs are used or earlier SSDs are used. You can mix Enterprise SSDs and earlier SSDs under the same controller or adapter, as well as mix them in the same array. This allows existing SSD investments to be leveraged and can provide more flexible growth.
Previous IBM Power SSD rules are unchanged and include:
- Do not mix different size capacities such as 387 GB and 775 GB in the same array or mix 775 GB and 1.55 TB in the same array.
- Do not mix 4k and 5xx drives in the same array.
- Do not mix SSDs and HDDs in the same array unless it is an Easy Tier array.
- 4k drives are not supported on servers older than POWER8.
