RE: Can the new feature ES0S 775 GB 4k SSD drives be used in a 5887 EXP24S in P7-8205-E6C?

Rob,

Thanks for the links.

Beginning with the June 2014 IO announcement, it appears IBM is moving to larger sector disks, which are only supported on P8 and beyond.

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/page/IBM%20i%20IO%20Support%20Summary

What is interesting is the P8 will support both sector size disks, from what I read.
Here's a good link explaining the sector size differences.
I'm still searching for the same info for i5/OS.
