Lenovo 4XB7A38274 1.92TB 2.5" SATA Enterprise SSD — Hot-Swappable with 3 DWPD

The Lenovo 4XB7A38274 is a purpose-built 1.92 TB Solid State Drive designed for demanding enterprise servers and data centers. It combines a generous capacity with the reliability and performance required for mission-critical workloads, from virtualization and databases to large-scale analytics and file repositories. With a 2.5-inch form factor and a SATA/600 interface, this drive fits neatly into standard server backplanes and drive bays, delivering fast, consistent I/O while helping minimize power usage and heat generation. Engineered for continuous operation, it supports hot-swappable deployment, enabling rapid maintenance without disrupting service. In short, this Lenovo SSD is built to accelerate performance, improve uptime, and simplify storage management across enterprise environments.

• Enterprise-grade endurance and sustained performance: With 3 DWPD (drive writes per day), this SSD is designed to handle heavy daily workloads across virtualization, databases, and big data analytics. The endurance rating reflects a long working life under high write-intensive conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements and helping protect service levels in data centers.
• Hot-swappable design for minimal downtime: The drive supports hot-swapping in compatible server bays, allowing technicians to replace or upgrade drives without powering down the system. This capability is crucial for maintaining high availability in production environments and for meeting strict uptime SLAs.
• Large capacity in a widely adopted 2.5" form factor: At 1.92 TB, it provides ample space for operating systems, application data, and large datasets while fitting into the common 2.5-inch drive footprint preferred by many enterprise servers and storage arrays. The SATA interface ensures broad compatibility with existing server backplanes without the need for specialized controllers.
• Server-grade reliability and compatibility: Built to work with Lenovo servers and compatible enterprise platforms, this SSD integrates smoothly into RAID configurations, storage pools, and virtualization stacks. Its rugged design is aimed at enterprise deployments where consistent performance and predictable behavior are essential for service-level objectives.
• Energy efficiency and operational cost benefits: Designed to optimize power usage and thermal performance, this drive helps reduce data-center power consumption and cooling requirements. The combination of high-capacity storage and efficient operation contributes to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over the life of the deployment.

How to install Lenovo 4XB7A38274

• Prepare the server and workspace: Power down the system only if your maintenance policy requires it; if your chassis supports hot-swapping, follow the manufacturer’s hot-swap procedure. Ensure you are grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Identify the correct drive bay: Use a compatible 2.5" hot-swappable bay or sled that accepts Lenovo enterprise SSDs. Confirm that the backplane supports SATA/600 and that the bay is wired for hot-swap operation.
• Remove the existing drive or blank: If replacing, carefully release the existing drive from its sled or caddy according to the chassis instructions. For a new installation, prepare an empty sled or drive tray as required by the server model.
• Insert the Lenovo 4XB7A38274: Align the drive with the backplane connectors and slide it into the drive bay until it seats firmly. You should hear a click or feel the drive secure in place, and the bay LED should indicate a healthy connection.
• Confirm detection and status: Power on or re-enable the backplane if needed and enter the server’s BIOS/RAID controller utility. Verify that the drive is recognized as an available device. If applicable, initiate a RAID rebuild or initialization according to your storage configuration.
• Monitor and verify operation: After installation, monitor drive health indicators and performance metrics through the management interface. Ensure the drive remains within acceptable temperature ranges and that data integrity is maintained during workloads.
