Lenovo ThinkSystem 3.84TB SAS 12G LFF PM1633a Read Intensive Hot-Swap SSD

SAS in a 3.5in bay with 3.84TB of flash: that is the ThinkSystem 4XB7A10173. It is a PM1633a on a 12G interface, hot-swap, classed Read Intensive, and Lenovo tracks it as feature code B2XC. The SR650 and ST550 are the servers named in the compatibility field. Both can take large-form-factor drives, so this model lets a SAS backplane carry a high-capacity flash tier instead of nearline disks. Read Intensive points the drive toward content libraries, archives and reporting data that is queried often and updated rarely. If your workload writes constantly, look at a Mixed Use or Write Intensive model. The 4XB7A10173 is supplied refurbished, with a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty, or used, with 90 days. A new unit is not listed. Send your server model and quantity and we will reply with pricing and lead time.
