The IBM SAS 2.5-inch Hybrid hard disk drives (HDDs) for IBM System x provide cost-effective performance and density by combining a cache of NAND flash and conventional HDD media in a single industry-standard small form factor (SFF) drive.
These hybrid drives accelerate HDD performance for small and medium business and distributed large enterprise application environments, enabling higher SSD-like I/O performance for most frequently used data while leveraging the capacity and cost of spinning media for primary storage.
