Lenovo 1.20 TB SAS 2.5" Internal Hard Drive — 10,000 RPM

Upgrade your storage infrastructure with a drive built for demanding enterprise workloads. The Lenovo 1.20 TB Hard Drive is a 2.5-inch internal SAS drive designed for servers, storage arrays, and data centers that require dependable performance, steady throughput, and long-term value. With 1.2 terabytes of capacity, you can consolidate databases, virtual machines, backups, and media assets on a single drive or across multiple drives in a RAID array. The 12Gb/s SAS interface delivers fast data transfers, while the 10,000 RPM spindle speed reduces latency and improves random I/O efficiency compared with slower HDDs. The 2.5-inch form factor matters in dense server chassis, blade servers, and hot-swap bays, where space is at a premium and maintenance windows are limited. Lenovo’s engineering emphasizes reliability, endurance, and compatibility with Lenovo servers and storage solutions, ensuring consistent performance under heavy workloads and simplified management across enterprise environments. Whether you’re refreshing aging storage or expanding a growing data footprint, this drive is engineered to deliver predictable performance, easy integration, and a solid foundation for data-driven operations.

• Massive 1.2 TB capacity for databases, virtual machines, backups, and media libraries. This generous storage footprint enables consolidation, reducing the need for frequent scale-out purchases and enabling longer-term budgeting for capacity growth across enterprise environments.
• 2.5-inch form factor offers versatile deployment in a wide range of server trays, blade servers, storage shelves, and hot-swap bays. The compact size supports high-density configurations in data centers and edge installations without compromising performance.
• 12Gb/s SAS interface provides high-bandwidth data transfer and robust error detection, delivering fast read/write operations and smoother data streaming for I/O-intensive workloads like databases, virtualization, and large-scale backups.
• 10,000 RPM rotational speed delivers strong sequential throughput and superior random I/O performance, helping to reduce latency in demanding enterprise applications and accelerating data access within storage arrays.
• Enterprise-grade reliability backed by Lenovo engineering, designed for continuous operation in data centers, with compatibility across Lenovo servers and storage ecosystems for simplified procurement and maintenance.

how to install Lenovo 1.20 TB Hard Drive

• Power down the server or workstations and disconnect power to prevent any electrical hazards during installation.
• Open the drive bay or hot-swap tray to access the 2.5" drive slot. If replacing an existing drive, remove the old drive carefully and set it aside according to your maintenance procedures.
• Align the Lenovo 1.20 TB SAS drive with the bay or tray and insert it fully until it seats securely in the connector and mounting points.
• Connect the SAS data cable and the power connector to the drive or tray, following the server or storage array’s documentation for proper cabling routing and labeling.
• Secure the drive with screws or latch mechanisms as required, reattach the bay cover, and close the server chassis. Power the system back on and enter the storage management utility or BIOS to verify the drive is recognized and healthy.
• If your environment uses RAID or storage virtualization, add the new drive to the appropriate array or pool, initialize, and run a consistency check to ensure data integrity and optimal performance.
• Update firmware and storage controller drivers if applicable to maximize compatibility and reliability with Lenovo hardware and software ecosystems.
• Monitor the drive’s SMART attributes post-install and establish ongoing health checks as part of your standard maintenance routine to preempt failures and optimize uptime.
