IBM PX05SRB384 V5000 3.84TB 12Gbps 2.5" SAS enterprise SSD

SKU CH-NCYT-57N6K

A 3.84 TB read-intensive SAS SSD with 12 Gbps interface for Storwize V5000 arrays

  • 84 TB capacity supports large read-intensive workloads
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface delivers high throughput for Storwize V5000
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard enterprise drive bays
  • MLC NAND provides endurance for read-heavy applications
  • 0 pound weight eases installation and handling

Enterprise read-intensive SSD

The IBM PX05SRB384 is a 3.84TB 2.5-inch SAS solid-state drive built for read-intensive workloads in Storwize V5000 arrays. It uses MLC flash and a 12Gbps interface to deliver consistent throughput for databases, virtualisation and analytics.

Compatibility focus

The drive is qualified specifically for the Storwize V5000 platform, so installation requires a supported bay and controller in that system. No additional accessories or software bundles are included with the unit.

Capacity and endurance envelope

At 3.84TB the drive suits read-heavy datasets such as content repositories or log stores where write cycles stay low. It is not intended for write-intensive applications or mixed workloads that exceed its read-optimised endurance rating.

Highlights

  • 84 TB capacity supports large read-intensive workloads
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface delivers high throughput for Storwize V5000
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard enterprise drive bays
  • MLC NAND provides endurance for read-heavy applications
  • 0 pound weight eases installation and handling

Questions about this item

How often will the MLC NAND in this 3.84TB drive need replacement under read-intensive workloads?

MLC NAND in read-intensive drives is rated for lower write cycles, so replacement depends on actual write volume rather than a fixed interval.

What is the first limit reached during sustained 12Gbps SAS reads on the V5000?

The 12Gbps SAS interface bandwidth is typically the first bottleneck before the MLC media saturates during continuous read streams.

How much heat and power does the 2.5" SAS SSD produce when running all day in a Storwize V5000?

Enterprise 2.5" SAS SSDs generally draw under 5 watts active, generating modest heat that standard server airflow handles without extra cooling.
