Re: New SSD options for IBM Power Systems provide enhancedperformanceat a lower cost

I suspect (but cannot prove) that the SSD price is the delta between spinny and SSD repair costs. After all you can't stuff both of them in the same slot. :-)

So, when you use a 5887 you are also paying for maintenance on up to 24

24 SSD's of which you have to pay an extra fee for?

I do understand that it would be a paperwork hassle to keep track of every
