Lenovo ThinkSystem 5400 MAX 960GB 2.5" SATA III Hot Swap SSD

The Lenovo 4XB7A82290 is a 2.5-inch hot-swap solid state drive that adds 960GB of enterprise-class flash storage to any ThinkSystem server. Built on the Micron 5400 MAX platform, it is tuned for mixed read-write activity, so databases, virtual machines, and analytics workloads all receive balanced, predictable performance.

Through its SATA III interface the drive moves data at up to 6 Gb per second. The 176-layer 3D TLC NAND keeps latency low even when traffic is heavy, while an endurance rating of up to five full drive writes per day protects against wear in environments that see constant updates or logging.

A mean time between failures of three million hours and the absence of moving parts make this drive a dependable choice for lights-out data centers that run around the clock. Because the carrier supports hot-swap service, you can replace or add capacity without interrupting live workloads, a benefit that shortens maintenance windows and protects service-level agreements.

Integrated self-encrypting technology applies 256-bit AES hardware encryption as data is written, so sensitive information stays protected without a hit to throughput. This feature helps administrators comply with security policies while avoiding the overhead that software-based encryption can introduce.

Whether you are building out a new cluster, expanding an existing array, or replacing spinning media with flash, the Lenovo 4XB7A82290 drops straight into standard ThinkSystem bays and starts working immediately. It is a straightforward upgrade for branch offices that have limited onsite IT staff and a reliable workhorse for large enterprise deployments that cannot afford downtime.

Highlights:

• 960GB capacity gives headroom for virtual machines, databases, and active file sets
• SATA III interface supports transfer rates up to 6 Gbps for responsive performance
• Hot-swap design lets you replace the drive without shutting down the server
• Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption secures data with no performance penalty
• Endurance rating of up to 5 drive writes per day suits heavy mixed workloads
• 176-layer 3D TLC NAND maintains steady throughput under sustained load
• Three million hour MTBF rating provides long-term reliability in enterprise environments
