Introduction
The SAS MLC Enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs) for System x® employ MLC NAND technology to provide an affordable, but performance-driven solution for applications requiring enterprise workloads with a mix of read/write operations. These industry standard 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor SSDs use a single-chip controller with a SAS interface on the system side and 16 channels of NAND flash internally. They provide outstanding performance, endurance, reliability, and energy efficiency for random read- and write-intensive enterprise workloads such as databases, data warehouses, corporate email and collaboration, actively connected users, caching and tiering applications, and others.

Did you know?
With SanDisk FlashGuard protection, SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs can be fully rewritten up to ten times per day throughout their entire five-year life expectancy. Unlike SATA drives, the SAS interface supports full duplex data transfer for higher performance, as well as dual port connectivity and enterprise-level error recovery for better availability.

Rigorous testing of SAS Enterprise MLC SSDs by Lenovo through the ServerProven® program assures a high degree of confidence in storage subsystem compatibility and reliability.

The part numbers for the SSDs include the following items:

• One SSD with either a hot-swap or simple-swap tray, depending on the part number
• Technical Update Flyer
• Warranty Flyer
• Important Notices document

Features
The SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs have the following features:
