GENERIC THINKSYSTEM 2.5 600GB 15K SAS - Festplatte - Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Data centers running Lenovo ThinkSystem servers demand storage that keeps pace with 24/7 transactional workloads. This 600GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive delivers 15,000 RPM performance and enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical applications. With a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and 256 MB cache, it accelerates database queries, virtualization, and high-transaction environments. The 2.5-inch small form factor maximizes drive density in server racks, while hot-swap support simplifies maintenance without downtime. Built for continuous operation, it features a 2 million hour MTBF and robust shock and vibration tolerance. Ideal for IT administrators upgrading or expanding ThinkSystem storage arrays, this drive provides the speed and endurance required for modern data centers.

Why choose it

This drive is engineered for enterprise environments where performance and uptime are non-negotiable. The 15K RPM spindle speed and low latency deliver fast data access, reducing bottlenecks in high-transaction applications. Its SAS 3.0 interface provides double the bandwidth of previous SAS generations, ensuring compatibility with modern ThinkSystem servers. The 2.5-inch form factor allows for higher storage density per rack unit, optimizing data center space. With a 2 million hour MTBF and 24/7 workload rating, it is built to handle continuous operation without compromising reliability. Hot-swap capability enables drive replacement without shutting down the server, minimizing service interruptions.

Ideal use cases

• Database servers requiring high IOPS and low latency
• Virtualized environments with multiple VMs per host
• Online transaction processing (OLTP) systems
• High-performance computing clusters
• Enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications
• Storage expansion in Lenovo ThinkSystem servers

Good to know

This drive is compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers that support 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap drives. It uses native 512-byte sectors (512n), which is widely supported by operating systems and hypervisors. The drive is designed for internal use and does not include an external enclosure. For optimal performance, ensure your server's SAS controller supports 12 Gb/s transfer rates. The drive's power consumption is typical for 15K RPM enterprise drives, so plan your server's power budget accordingly. It is backed by a 2 million hour MTBF rating, indicating high reliability in demanding environments.
