Description

Lenovo 7450 PRO 3.84 TB NVMe SSD – Read Intensive, PCIe 4.0 x4, M.2 22110

The Lenovo 7450 PRO 3.84 TB Read Intensive NVMe SSD delivers industry-leading performance for data-centric workloads in a compact, cost-efficient package. Engineered for reliability in demanding enterprise environments, this M.2 22110 drive leverages PCIe Gen4 technology and NVMe protocol to deliver high-throughput, low-latency access to data, making it an ideal choice for read-heavy databases, content delivery networks, and analytics caches. With a focus on endurance and data protection, the 7450 PRO is designed to keep performance steady over time, even under sustained load, while simplifying deployment within modern ThinkSystem ecosystems and other PCIe NVMe-enabled servers. Its Read Intensive profile is optimized for workloads that require fast data retrieval and predictable I/O behavior, ensuring applications—from streaming libraries to large-scale cache layers—maintain the responsiveness users expect. The inclusion of Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) encryption as a standard feature adds a critical layer of data-at-rest protection, helping organizations meet regulatory requirements and maintain data privacy without sacrificing performance. This combination of capacity, speed, security, and reliability positions the Lenovo 7450 PRO as a compelling option for enterprise storage expansion, system acceleration, and server-side caching strategies that demand consistent, real-world throughput.

  • Massive capacity in a compact form: With 3.84 terabytes of usable space in the M.2 22110 form factor, the Lenovo 7450 PRO enables you to consolidate more datasets, catalogs, media libraries, and caching layers onto a single NVMe drive. This generous capacity supports large-scale read operations and data-intensive workloads without frequent offloading or tiering, reducing overall storage complexity and improving I/O efficiency.
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface for high throughput: The drive uses PCIe Gen4 with four lanes to maximize sequential and random read performance, delivering the low latency and high IOPS that modern data centers demand. This enables faster boot times for virtualization hosts, snappier database lookups, and accelerated access to frequently accessed assets in edge and core deployments alike.
  • Optimized for Read Intensive workloads: Built to excel in read-heavy scenarios, the 7450 PRO offers sustained, predictable performance across long workloads. It is well-suited for warm data caches, metadata repositories, media streaming caches, and other scenarios where reads far outpace writes, helping to maintain smooth user experiences and responsive analytics pipelines.
  • Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security by default: Security is embedded at the hardware level with SED encryption enabled as a standard feature. This protects data at rest from unauthorized access and supports compliance with data protection standards, without imposing a noticeable performance penalty or requiring separate encryption software.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability and easy integration: Designed for reliability in server and data center environments, the Lenovo 7450 PRO integrates readily into ThinkSystem configurations and other PCIe NVMe-compliant platforms. Its robust build, thermal characteristics, and compatibility with standard management tools simplify deployment, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance in heterogeneous storage ecosystems.

How to install Lenovo 7450 PRO

  • Power down the server or workstation and ground yourself to prevent static discharge.
  • Identify an available M.2 22110 PCIe NVMe slot in the system motherboard or PCIe carrier that supports NVMe drives.
  • Carefully insert the Lenovo 7450 PRO into the slot, ensuring a secure and full seating of the card, then fasten the mounting screw to the proper retention point.
  • Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup to confirm the drive is recognized and configured for NVMe operation. If necessary, enable any NVMe or PCIe slot options to maximize performance.
  • Boot into your operating system and initialize the drive using your preferred storage management utility. Create the desired volume layout (single or multi-SSD pools, caching layers, or software-defined storage) and format with your chosen filesystem.
  • Install or migrate workloads that will primarily read from this drive, and configure any encryption or security policies as needed. Monitor thermals and performance during initial ramp-up to ensure the drive operates within acceptable temperatures and does not throttle.
