Description
High-density, read-intensive drives enable cost-sensitive applications to scale
and achieve high read performance while maintaining traditional reliability and
endurance levels. A 3.84 TB, 12 Gb SAS, 2.5-inch, read-intensive flash drive option
is now available for IBM Storwize V5000 (models 124, 224, 324, and 24F), Storwize
V7000 (models 524 and 24F), and SVC Model 24F.

Traditionally, IBM Storwize Family flash drives have been built on enterprise-class
mid to high endurance multi-level cell flash, and are targeted for write-intensive or
mixed application workloads. The NAND flash used in read-intensive drives tend to
be of lower endurance, consequently the number of write operations is more limited
than in mainstream endurance flash drives.
Accessibility by people with disabilities
A US Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) containing details
on accessibility compliance can be found on the IBM Accessibility website.

Reference information
Storwize family product information is available on the IBM Storwize family website.
