1996-8205 IBM 177GB Solid State Drive SSD Module with eMLC for iSeries 8205-E6B
The 1996-8205 IBM 177GB Solid State Drive (SSD) 1.8" Module with eMLC for Power7 iSeries 8205-E6B is a tiny storage device that's placed in a #2053, #2054 or #2055 PCIe RAID & SAS Adapater. The maximum 1995-8205 Solid State Disk drives allowed in a IBM 8205-E6B is 48. It ships with RAID to provide 177GB Solid State Storage capacity for IBM 8205-E6B Power7 iSeries, AIX and Linux systems. IBM 1995 and 1996 Solid State Drive (SSD) modules are identical with CCIN = 58B2. #1995 indicates AIX/ Linux usage. The 1996 & 1995 use Enterprise Multi-Level Cell (eMLC) technology, to provide extremely reliable, cost effective, dense SSD storage. The 1.8" SSD module contains a NAND flash controller that provides a 3Gbit/sec SATA interface. Parallel access to 16 flash sites allows overlapped, multi-block access to complete data transfer requests rapidly. An embedded super capacitor ensures data integrity during power fail scenarios.
The IBM 1996 177GB Solid State Drive (SSD) 1.8" Module with eMLC is also supported in the following IBM Power7 and Power6 models: 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2B, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, 8233-E8B, 8286-41A, 8286-42A, 8408-E8D, 9109-RMD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD
