Hi,
I would like to use SAS SSDs in my FS5015.
I would like to use the PM1653 series from Samsung:
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/ssd/enterprise-ssd/pm1653/
For example, the model MZILG3T8HCLS (3.8 TB)
I have searched all available sources to find out whether this model is supported.
In this list, I only find that the IBM model “02PX542” is mentioned:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/flashsystem-5x00/8.7.3?topic=ru-2u-expansion-enclosure-replaceable-units-1
I cannot find any information about what SSD is used in this model.
The advantage is that this SSD is delivered “in SFF carrier.”
The problem is that I can hardly find this IBM model on the open market, or only refurbished.
I then found this list:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/supported-drive-types-and-firmware-levels-ibm-storage-virtualize-family-products
When I search for my desired model “MZILG3T8HCLS” there, I find that it is supported, but how do I get an SFF carrier?
Strangely enough, I can't find anything when I search for the IBM model “02PX542” in this list.
An “MZILG3T8HCLS” would be better in terms of price and also available, but then I don't have a carrier.
How can this be solved?
Even if the IBM model “02PX542” would be a PM1653, I cannot find a source to buy it..
In the "2U expansion enclosure replaceable units"-list I cannt find just a carrier to insert any (compatible) SSD.
