Lenovo SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs
Product Guide (withdrawn product)
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 singlechip 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
writeintensive enterprise workloads such as databases, data warehouses,
corporate email and collaboration, actively connected users, caching and
tiering applications, and others.
Figure 1 shows the SAS 2.5-inch MLC Enterprise SSD.
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. Providing additional peace of mind, these
drives are covered under warranty.

Features
The SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs have the following features:
- Industry standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive form factor
- Utilizes 19 nm MLC NAND technology
- Cost-effective MLC SAS drive with high read and write performance to fulfill client needs in the enterprise space
- High endurance, with up to 29.2 PB of total bytes written (TBW) to withstand applications with intensive read/write workloads
- Energy saving, with as little as 7 watt power consumption per drive
- Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server
- S.M.A.R.T. support
- Advanced Encrypting Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
- FlashGuard technology extends the native endurance of commercial-grade MLC flash
- Aggregated Flash Management
- Advanced Signal Processing
- Enhanced Error Correction
- DataGuard technology protects against data corruption and loss Full data path protection Flexible Redundant Array of Memory Elements (F.R.A.M.E.) data recovery algorithm
- EverGuard technology protects data in the event of unplanned power outages
- Static wear leveling evenly distributes data across the drive
- Bad block management replaces failed blocks with new ones from the spare pool
- Thermal throttling to extend the life of the drive
- Data retention management to ensure availability and integrity of stored data
- Minimal write amplification for efficient flash utilization and extended lifetime
The key difference between Enterprise SSDs such as the SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs and other SSDs is their endurance (or life expectancy). SSDs have a huge but finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which affects how long they can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy. Enterprise SSDs have significantly better endurance but higher cost/IOPS ratio compared to Enterprise Value SSDs. SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase cycles that the drive can incur over its lifetime, listed as TBW in the device specification.
The TBW value that is assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data that a drive can be guaranteed to complete. Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail; the TBW simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid-state device will not fail upon reaching the specified TBW, but at some point after surpassing the TBW value (and based on manufacturing variance margins), the drive will reach the end of-life point, at which time the drive will go into read-only mode. Because of such behavior, carefulplanning must be done to use SSDs in the application environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive will not be exceeded prior to the required life expectancy.
For example, with SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs, the entire drive can be fully re- written up to ten times per day to meet the five-year lifetime expectation of the drive, while Enterprise Entry SSDs can sustain less than 1 full-drive write per day to provide the same five-year lifetime.

Warranty
The SAS MLC Enterprise SSDs carry a 1-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU)
limited warranty. When installed in a supported Lenovo server, these drives
assume the system’s base warranty and any warranty upgrade.
Solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of program/erase
cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid state device has a
maximum amount of program/erase cycles to which it can be subjected. The
warranty for Lenovo solid-state drives (SSDs) is limited to drives that have
not reached the maximum guaranteed number of program/erase cycles, as
documented in the Official Published Specifications for the SSD product. A
drive that reaches this limit may fail to operate according to its
Specifications.
