Lenovo ThinkSystem 12TB 7200 RPM 3.5" SAS 12Gb Hot Swap HDD

The Lenovo 7XB7A00067 is a 12TB hot swap hard drive created for ThinkSystem servers and workstations that run around the clock. It delivers the capacity needed for expanding datasets while keeping installation simple for IT teams that prefer Lenovo qualified parts.

A SAS interface that supports up to 12 Gb per second pairs with a spindle speed of 7,200 rpm, so large files move quickly and applications respond without delay. The drive uses a 512e sector format to balance legacy compatibility with modern performance requirements, making it a practical choice for a broad range of enterprise workloads.

Nearline engineering allows the drive to remain active in 24x7 environments such as virtualization hosts, backup repositories, analytics clusters, and media production systems. Because it is hot swappable, a technician can replace or add drives while the server stays online, protecting service uptime for users and customers.

The drive drops straight into the tool-less bays of Lenovo ThinkSystem models SR650, SR530, ST550, SR630, and SR550. Once installed, it integrates with standard Lenovo management utilities, so monitoring, firmware updates, and future capacity planning feel familiar and predictable.
