Overview and specifications of the IBM Flash Adapter 90 (PCIe2 0.9TB) (FC ES09;
CCIN 578A)
Find information about the overview, specifications, and operating system requirements for the feature
code (FC) ES09 adapters.
Overview
The IBM Flash Adapter 90 (PCIe2 0.9TB) is a PCIe enabled high-performance enterprise multi-level cell
(eMLC) Flash storage adapter that provides 900 GB of usable storage capacity. It is a single-wide,
full-height, half-width, generation-2 PCIe adapter. The adapter capable of providing a read bandwidth of
1.3 gigabyte per second (GBps) and a 4K-read input/output operations per second (IOPS) of 325,000. The
adapter increases the performance of applications that require larger and faster data buffer areas.
As the device does not contain an internal RAID, you can mirror the FC ES09 at the adapter level to
provide enhanced data integrity. Install the adapter in pairs to enable mirroring.
The FC ES09 adapter provides the following features:
v 32 nm Toshiba eMLC NAND Flash
v Capacitive emergency power loss protection
v Minimal host processor and RAM requirements
v Native block size of 4096
v 512 byte access support
Figure 64 on page 193 shows the IBM Flash Adapter 90 (PCIe2 0.9TB).
