Description

Lenovo 7450 PRO 3.84 TB Read Intensive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 U.3 Enterprise SSD

The Lenovo 7450 PRO 3.84 TB Read Intensive SSD is engineered for data centers that demand dependable, high-speed read performance with enterprise-grade reliability. Built on a PCIe NVMe 4.0 x4 interface, this internal drive delivers outstanding IOPS and low latency, enabling faster data access, quicker analytics, and improved application responsiveness for read-heavy workloads. Designed to optimize power efficiency, IOPS per watt, and cost per IO, it’s an ideal solution for general-purpose storage, caching, and read-dominant databases in demanding server environments. This Lenovo Read Intensive solution also emphasizes data security with self-encrypting capabilities, helping organizations meet compliance needs while simplifying data protection across large-scale deployments. Whether powering high-traffic content delivery networks, virtualized environments, or large-scale file services, the Lenovo 7450 PRO is built to handle continuous read streams with consistent throughput and predictable performance in today’s data-centric data centers.

  • The Lenovo 7450 PRO leverages a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface to provide exceptional read performance, enabling rapid data retrieval, reduced latency, and smooth handling of read-intensive workloads such as caching, streaming, and analytics pipelines. This enables faster boot times, quicker VM provisioning, and more responsive databases that rely on fast reads more than writes.
  • With a substantial 3.84 TB capacity, this enterprise SSD offers ample space for cataloging large datasets, frequently accessed files, and operational data while maintaining strong performance. The generous capacity supports larger read caches, extensive media libraries, and scalable deployment across multi-tenant or single-tenant data centers without compromising speed.
  • Form factor and interface are aligned for enterprise use with an Internal U.3 (enterprise) connector designed for hot-swap enabled storage arrays and server backplanes. The U.3 compatibility ensures flexible deployment options in contemporary servers and storage enclosures, easing integration into existing data-center architectures.
  • This drive is a Read Intensive solution, optimized for read-heavy workloads while delivering high IOPS efficiency. It balances performance and power usage to maximize throughput per watt, an important consideration for dense data-center racks where cooling and energy costs are critical factors.
  • Security and management are supported by self-encrypting capabilities, providing hardware-based data protection at rest and simplifying key management across large fleets of drives. The SED capability helps protect sensitive information in transit and at rest, supporting compliance requirements and streamlined asset lifecycle management in enterprise environments.
