Internal 2.5 inch Lenovo 1.2TB 10K 12G SAS HDD, 10000 RPM, 512e

Lenovo 1.2TB 10K 12G SAS 2.5" G3HS 512e is a 2.5-inch internal SAS hard disk drive with 1.2 TB capacity and a 10,000 RPM spindle speed. It uses 512e emulation to increase usable capacity while maintaining data integrity and supports SAS host interfaces up to 12 Gbps. The drive is available in hot-swap and simple-swap implementations and is suitable for systems requiring a compact, high-performance HDD form factor.

Advantages

The drive combines a 2.5-inch slim-line form factor with enterprise-class rotational speed to optimize storage density and performance in constrained spaces. A 12 Gbps SAS interface enables higher burst throughput when paired with compatible 12 Gbps infrastructure. Built-in S.M.A.R.T. monitoring provides early warning of certain drive issues, and RoHS compliance ensures adherence to environmental standards.

Suitable for

• Enterprise and server storage requiring moderate capacity with high I/O performance
• Blade and rack servers with 2.5-inch drive bays
• Storage arrays and hybrid systems combining HDDs with flash tiers
• Environments where hot-swap or simple-swap maintenance is needed

Key specifications

• Capacity: 1.2 TB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch, slim-line
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM
• Interface: SAS, supports up to 12 Gbps burst rate
• Sector emulation: 512e
• Drive type: Enterprise HDD (available as hot-swap or simple-swap; SED and hybrid variants exist in the same family)
• Weight: 0.227 kg

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5-inch SAS bay following the server or enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the host system and controller support SAS and, for maximum throughput, 12 Gbps-capable infrastructure. Configure RAID or storage management settings as required by your environment, and enable S.M.A.R.T. monitoring to receive alerts about potential drive issues.

Recommendations

Use this drive in enterprise servers or storage arrays where a balance of capacity and rotational performance is required. Pair with appropriate cooling and a compatible SAS controller; implement regular backups and monitor S.M.A.R.T. data to maintain data availability.
