Rob,

That's true. But SSDs and HDDs have a MTTF rounding 3 years. I don't
recommend using old disks on production systems.
I still remember my 141GB disks (1st gen) dying like flies

The biggest drawback to SSD is the cost of maintenance after the initial
warranty period.
If you're a shop who replaces your hardware every 3 years no big deal.
If you're a shop who keeps your hardware until the highest release it ever
supports hits EOS, very big deal.
SSD maintenance fees are very painful. Level 10 on the :-( scale.

...and 931GB Mainstream SSD cost the same as 15k HDD per GB...

They are in the list but don't buy 'em! Even for test and dev those
things are slow. At least get the 15K Drives and a few more of them. For
test and dev you may find that the read intensive SSDs will work for you
also yilding vast leaps in performance at reasonable cost.

Hi Techies.

Looking at (competing) quotes for a new S914 (P9) dev. machine:

one BP configures 1.1TB 10K RPM SAS SSF-3 disks
the other BP says these disks are not configurable for S914 IBM i
machines.

Who is correct?

TIA
Gad
