Vast differences between two Power 9 9009-41A.

  • 1.  Vast differences between two Power 9 9009-41A.

    Posted Fri January 03, 2025 08:27 AM

    If you're planning to upgrade I thought you might like to see this snippet of an email I sent to someone.

    Fun fact:
    Your Power 9 9009-41A, with it's four 283GB 15k spinning disks is at 71% of it's 851GB of available storage.  It takes 9 hours to perform your backup to your LTO6 tape drive using the tapes you have.
    My Power 9 9009-41A, with it's numerous SSD drives is at 74% of it's 2,087GB of available storage.  It takes 1 hour and 5 minutes to save it to VTL (Virtual Tape Library).
    We plan on upgrading it this year and trading it in for a newer model.  We're keeping the VTL.
