Hi. If you are interested in upgrading your dasd, you may want to consider the visara VI-8810. It’s rack mounted, SSD drives, compatible with all IBM OS and processors. Will certainly work with your Z9
Contact me offline and you can tell me what you require in terms of channels and storage and we can go from there. Regards Ken Kenneth A.
