    Now, because of software advances and industry demands, less write intensive SSDs can be used with applications where write operations are less frequent. IBM offers several 4 K mainstream SSDs, including feature codes (FCs) ES8Y, ES8Z, ES96, ES97, ESE7, ESE8, ES83, ES84, ES92, ES93, ESE1, and ESE2.
  • Page 55 Endurance differences imply that when you form disk arrays, you must not mix mainstream drives with enterprise drives because the PCIe SAS adapter stripes data across drives, thus sending equal data to each drive. The IBM PCIe SAS adapters do not allow mixing of mainstream drives with enterprise drives when you create RAID arrays.
