Hard drive
ThinkServer hard drives feature world-class technology and value demanded by today's SMB storage environments. The new storage portfolio consists of Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives.

ThinkServer SATA drives are designed with economical reliability and performance for external and internal storage, backups and archival applications. These high-capacity drives provide the lowest cost per gigabyte to our customers.

Intended for applications that require:

  • Lowest acquisition cost
  • Ease of serviceability: Hot-Swap and Simple-Swap
  • Fewer signals to route compared to PATA
  • Dedicated connection per HDD

Features and benefits

  • SATA interface conforms to SATA/High-Speed Serialized AT Attachment
  • Low power consumption
  • Quiet operation, revolving voice coil motor
  • State-of-the-art cache and error-correction algorithms
  • Simple-Swap and Hot-Swap carriages for ease-of-service
  • Medium form factor (3.5")
  • One-year warranty

ThinkServer SAS drives provide higher throughput and reliability for mission-critical and mid-market applications.

Intended for applications that require:

  • Logical extension to the parallel SCSI interface
  • Topology with an increased device count, and point-to-point architecture that provides significant increase in bandwidth per device
  • Improved connectors and simplified, thinner cabling
  • Very high scalability, improved reliability and performance
  • Highest IOPS
  • Configuration flexibility and simplicity
  • Scalable I/O with future growth roadmaps
  • Traditional SCSI software and middleware

Features and benefits:

  • 3GB high performance (10K rpm or 15K rpm)
  • Higher bandwidth 300MB/sec. point-to-point links
  • Allows grouping of multiple links for wide links of 300MB/sec
  • More flexible and scalable to take full advantage of system bandwidth
  • Medium and slim form factors (2.5" and 3.5")
  • Three-year warranty
