Lenovo

Lenovo 2 TB SAS 3.5" 512E internal hard drive

SKU CH-MRAS-T2785

A 3.5-inch SAS hard drive with 2 TB capacity and 512E format for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • SAS interface enables enterprise-grade connectivity
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server bays
  • 512E format supports legacy sector compatibility
  • Compatible with ThinkSystem SR250 and SR630 series

Purpose-built storage for ThinkSystem servers

This 3.5-inch SAS drive provides 2 TB of 512E formatted capacity for Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V2, SR250 V3, SR630 V2, SR630 V3, SR630 V3 SP5, SR635, SR645 and SR645 V3 platforms. It suits administrators adding nearline capacity to compatible bays without changing the storage controller.

Thermals and power in normal operation

The drive draws standard SAS power levels and relies on the server chassis airflow for cooling. Acoustic output matches typical enterprise 3.5-inch mechanics under sustained read and write workloads.

Compatibility list defines the real value

The supported model matrix is the only assurance of correct firmware handshake and carrier fit. Systems outside the listed ThinkSystem families will not recognise the drive or may report unsupported hardware alerts.

Questions about this item

How is the 3.5 inch SAS drive installed in a ThinkSystem SR630 V2, and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into a hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is engaging the lever fully so the SAS connector seats properly.

What maintenance or replacement will the 2 TB SAS 512E drive need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replacement is only needed if SMART data reports reallocated sectors or the drive fails.

What limit appears first on the Lenovo SAS drive during sustained write workloads?

The SAS interface caps sustained throughput, so the 12 Gbit/s link becomes the bottleneck before the media does.
