HDD Lenovo 2.4TB 2.5 inch 10K DE Series 4XB7A88046

The Lenovo 2.4TB 2.5" 10K DE Series HDD is a high-performance enterprise hard drive designed for use in dense rack environments. With a 2.5-inch form factor and 10,000 RPM spindle speed, this drive delivers low-latency access and sustained throughput for database, virtualization, and transactional workloads. It is engineered for compatibility with Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series enclosures and for deployment in 2U24 configurations where space efficiency and predictable performance are required.

Advantages

This drive combines a high-capacity 2.4TB storage area with enterprise-grade rotational speed to improve I/O response times and reduce query latencies. Its 2.5-inch compact format enables higher drive density in server trays and storage arrays, helping to maximize usable capacity per rack unit. Built to meet data center reliability expectations, the drive supports sustained operation under continuous workloads and integrates with Lenovo system firmware and hot-swap trays for simplified maintenance.

Suitable for

• Database servers and mixed OLTP/OLAP environments
• Virtualization hosts and hyper-converged infrastructure
• Transactional storage and high IOPS workloads
• High-density 2U24 storage enclosures and blade arrays
• Backup targets and secondary tier for frequently accessed data

Key specifications

• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Capacity: 2.4 TB
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM
• Interface: enterprise SAS/SATA compatible with Lenovo DE Series systems (verify controller compatibility)
• Optimized for 2U24 dense enclosure deployment
• Designed for continuous datacenter operation and high duty cycles

How to use

Install the HDD into a compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series drive bay or a supported 2.5-inch tray following the server or enclosure manual. Use hot-swap capable bays where available to install or replace drives without powering down the system. After physical installation, verify drive recognition in the system firmware or RAID controller utility, then format and configure the drive according to the desired storage layout (RAID, JBOD, or as part of a software-defined storage pool).

Recommendations

For reliable operation, monitor drive health via system management tools and schedule regular firmware updates through Lenovo support channels. Use this 10K RPM drive for workloads that benefit from predictable low latency and sustained IOPS, and combine with appropriate RAID levels and redundancy to meet performance and availability targets.
