Enterprise 400 GB SAS SSD
This 400 GB enterprise solid-state drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and a 2.5 inch form factor with hot-swap capability. It includes a self-encrypting drive feature and ships with a Lenovo System X caddy for direct installation in compatible bays.
Replaces slower SAS HDDs
The jump from mechanical 12 Gb/s SAS hard drives to this SSD is worth it when workloads demand consistently low latency and higher random IOPS. It also suits arrays where encryption at rest is required without a separate controller layer.
Limited by SAS 12 Gb/s bandwidth
Sequential throughput cannot exceed the 12 Gb/s link speed, so heavy streaming workloads may saturate the interface before the flash does. The drive also requires a backplane and controller that support 12 Gb/s SAS and hot-swap signalling.
