Product Overview
The Lenovo 01DC628 is a 10TB 3.5-inch nearline SAS (NL-SAS) hard drive rated at 7.2K RPM, built for capacity-focused enterprise storage pools. It is a practical choice for expanding bulk storage or replacing failed disks where 3.5in NL-SAS media is required, including Lenovo Storage D1212 disk shelf deployments.
For consistent integration in existing LENOVO storage environments, validate enclosure and controller requirements such as supported drive type, firmware expectations, and approved disk profiles. In mixed-tier designs, this HDD can be complemented with SSD for lower-latency tiers, while capacity disks remain dedicated to backup, archive, file repositories, and general-purpose storage.
When planning rebuild behaviour and redundancy, align drive selection with your storage controller strategy; many environments pair nearline disks with compatible RAID CONTROLLER options to maintain predictable protection policies and operational consistency across shelves and arrays.
Key Features
Key technical characteristics for enterprise storage maintenance and capacity expansion:
- 10TB capacity to increase usable storage in dense nearline disk pools.
- 7.2K RPM spindle speed to balance throughput and capacity for bulk data workloads.
- 3.5-inch LFF form factor to fit large-form-factor Lenovo storage drive bays and carriers.
- NL-SAS interface to support dual-ported SAS backplanes commonly used in enterprise disk shelves.
- Compatible with Lenovo Storage D1212 disk shelves to simplify replacement planning in supported enclosures.
- Compatible with Lenovo Storage families that use 3.5in NL-SAS drives (for example D1212-based expansions) to keep a consistent media type across arrays.
- Optimised for capacity-oriented workloads to support backups, archives, and general-purpose storage tiers.
- Enterprise HDD design intent for reliable 24/7 operation in data centre and service-provider environments.
Refurbished Quality and Warranty
This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished drives are commonly used to extend the lifecycle of existing Lenovo storage platforms, reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new.
Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (three months for batteries, tape drives and tape libraries). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark for fast B2B fulfilment.
If your chassis or disk shelf requires a matching carrier, add the appropriate CADDY to align with your Lenovo drive bay and mounting format.
