LENOVO - 03KH063 - ThinkSystem 2.5" 5400 PRO 480GB Read Intensive SATA 6Gb HS SSD

The Lenovo 03KH063 ThinkSystem 2.5" 5400 PRO 480GB Read Intensive SATA 6Gb hot-swap SSD is designed for enterprise server storage where consistent read performance and predictable latency are required. With a 2.5-inch form factor and SATA 6Gb interface, it fits common ThinkSystem drive bays and is a practical option for OS volumes, boot pools, and read-heavy application datasets.

For complete ThinkSystem storage builds, this drive is typically deployed alongside a RAID CONTROLLER for data protection and simplified drive management, and installed in a matching hot-swap CADDY to ensure proper fitment in Lenovo front-access bays. If you are standardising across a platform, you can also source additional LENOVO parts to keep configurations consistent across your fleet.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant features for professional ThinkSystem environments:

• 480GB read-intensive SSD capacity to support boot/OS volumes and read-heavy workloads with fast access times.
• 2.5-inch small form factor drive to fit standard ThinkSystem 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in rack servers and storage nodes.
• SATA 6Gb/s interface to integrate with common ThinkSystem SATA backplanes and controllers for broad compatibility.
• Hot-swap (HS) design to enable service-friendly replacement in compatible hot-swap bays and reduce maintenance windows.
• Lenovo ThinkSystem FRU 03KH063 identification to help match the correct spare part during break/fix and lifecycle extensions.
• Compatibility with Lenovo ThinkSystem server families that use 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap bays, including common SR-series platforms such as ThinkSystem SR550/SR590/SR650 configurations (where SATA backplanes are installed), to simplify spares standardisation.
• Read Intensive endurance profile to suit workloads dominated by reads, such as web tiers, VDI read caches, and application delivery images.
• Designed for 24/7 enterprise operation in server environments to support continuous service delivery in data centres and server rooms.

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 a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing ThinkSystem installations, reduce electronic waste, and control hardware spend compared to buying new.

All products include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark. For capacity planning or mixed-media deployments, consider adding matching HDD options for bulk storage tiers.
