Key Features

Key technical characteristics and deployment benefits for enterprise ThinkSystem storage builds:

• 3.5-inch (LFF) drive form factor to fit Lenovo ThinkSystem large-form-factor bays and backplanes.
• 2TB capacity to expand usable storage for file services, backups, and general-purpose server workloads.
• 7.2K RPM spindle speed to balance capacity and performance for read/write mixed environments.
• 12Gb SAS interface to support enterprise SAS backplanes and controller connectivity in ThinkSystem platforms.
• Hot-swap capable design to replace or add drives with minimal service interruption in supported chassis.
• 512n sector format to maintain compatibility with operating systems and storage stacks expecting native 512-byte sectors.
• Compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and storage systems using 3.5-inch 12Gb SAS bays, for example ThinkSystem SR550/SR650 (LFF configurations) and ThinkSystem ST-series towers with LFF hot-swap cages.
• Designed for use with RAID configurations to support capacity expansion and disk replacement workflows in enterprise arrays and servers.
