IBM High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapters
IBM System x at-a-glance guide
The IBM High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapters provide a new generation of ultra-high-performance storage
based on solid state device technology for System x and BladeCenter. These adapters are alternatives to
disk drives and are available in several sizes, from 160 GB to 1.2 TB. Designed for high-performance
servers and computing appliances, these adapters deliver throughput of up to 300,000 I/O operations per
second (IOPS), while providing the added benefits of lower power, cooling, and management overhead,
and a smaller storage footprint.
The IBM 320GB High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapter is shown in Figure 1.

Did You Know?
These adapters use flash memory as the storage medium, contain no moving parts, and do not have the
issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. The adapters are built as block devices on
a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, advanced ECC, and N+1 chip-level redundancy, providing
unparalleled reliability and efficiency.
