IBM Power 8 Disk and SSD drive

8286 ES86: 387 GB SFF-2 SSD 4k eMLC4 for IBM i

ES86 is IBM's 387 GB SFF-2 SSD 4k eMLC4 for IBM i. Listed for 8286-41A, 8286-42A.

A 387 GB solid-state drive for IBM i that goes in an external EXP24S style drive drawer.

One misaligned REDP-5097 row prints ES86 as the AIX/Linux drive; the clean S814 table row and the IBM i support page both say ES86 is the IBM i version.

Before you order ES86

IBM sells many drives in two versions: one formatted for IBM i and one for AIX or Linux. Order the one that matches your operating system, and match the carrier to the bay or drawer it goes in.
