The original 70GB SSDs were SLCs as I recall. These were actually 128GB devices leaving significant capacity for re-maping worn out areas.

The current 177GB SSDs are MLC devices. I don't have information on the overcapacity of these devices but suspect perhaps 256GB is the likely size.

IBM would not ship an enterprise class device on POWER systems if they did not believe that they were reliable enough for the task at hand.

What kind of SSDs are they? SLC or MLC? Any information on how long
they last? Because the MLCs are notoriously short-lived. A lot of that
depends on the data use algorithms.
