The Lenovo 7Y37A01085 is a ThinkSystem RAID 930-16i adapter that equips your server with reliable, high-speed storage control. By pairing a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface with 12 Gb per second SAS bandwidth, it keeps data moving quickly between the system board and up to sixteen internal drives.
This controller accepts both SAS and SATA media, letting you choose the mix of 12 Gb or 6 Gb hard drives and solid-state drives that best fits your workload. A 4 GB flash-backed cache stores and protects write data, so even if power drops unexpectedly, the cache preserves transactions until the server is back online.
Flexible RAID support allows you to build arrays that put performance first, maximize capacity, or emphasize fault tolerance. The card handles RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, and it also supports JBOD for situations where individual drive access is preferred. Up to sixty-four virtual disks and one hundred twenty-eight arrays can be defined, giving administrators room to segment storage for databases, virtual machines, and file shares.
Installation is straightforward: connect the mini SAS HD 36-pin internal cables, seat the adapter in an open PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, and load the driver for your chosen operating system. The controller works with the major enterprise editions of Linux and Windows Server, making it a practical upgrade for existing Lenovo ThinkSystem nodes or custom white-box builds.
In practice, this adapter shines in environments that depend on both speed and resilience. A database server that must keep latency low, a virtualization cluster that hosts dozens of virtual machines, or a file server that requires constant uptime will all benefit from the combination of fast throughput and robust data protection. Compliance with RoHS and other industry standards adds peace of mind for organizations with strict regulatory requirements.
