Re: For the Technical guys

Thanks Larry, Rob, Diego, Jim, Ed

Point taken, I'll ask the BPs.
(this is 11 such disks in a Raid5 configuration, perhaps not that bad?)

Googling this drives I only found them (Part No. 00E9953 ) configurable for
a P8 machines.

Do you have the part no. for a Power 9 machine?

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
