Detailed Product Description
This Lenovo Storage 4XB7A09920 hard drive is a robust and reliable solution for large-scale storage, ideal for businesses that need massive capacity without compromising performance. With 12TB of space, it operates at 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which ensures efficient data throughput, especially in Nearline (NL) storage configurations, where the balance between cost and performance is crucial. The 12Gb/s SAS interface allows for high-speed connections, making it perfect for systems that require low latency and high throughput, such as database servers, enterprise backups, or virtualization environments.
The 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) design makes it easy to install in larger enclosures, such as the D3284 Machine Type 6413 5U84, which supports up to 84 drives in a single 5U chassis. This means you can expand your storage in a modular fashion, adding drives as needed, without the need for massive investments in new infrastructure. The DDIC (Disk Drive in Carrier) module is not just a protective cover; It includes a transition plate that ensures perfect compatibility and secure insertion, reducing the risk of damage during maintenance or hot-swapping. This is especially valuable in mission-critical environments, where downtime can be costly.
Imagine a busy data center, where terabytes of data are processed daily – this HDD integrates seamlessly, offering enterprise-grade durability with high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), which minimizes failures and maximizes availability. It is optimized for read-intensive workloads such as media streaming, data archiving, or big data applications, and supports technologies such as RAID for redundancy and data loss protection.
- High Capacity: 12TB allows you to store large volumes of data, ideal for backups and long-term archives.
- Reliable Performance: 7.2K RPM speed and 12Gb/s SAS interface ensure fast transfers, with rates of up to 250MB/s in sequential read.
- Specific Compatibility: Designed exclusively for the Lenovo D3284, eliminating integration issues.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimized power consumption for high-density enclosures, helping to reduce operating costs.
- Security and Ease of Use: DDIC facilitates hot-swaps and maintenance, with optional encryption for sensitive data.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to SSDs, it offers more storage per dollar, perfect for scenarios where speed is not the primary factor.
In real-world scenarios, this disk is widely used in data centers of telecommunications companies, cloud providers, and financial institutions. For example, an e-commerce company can use it to store transaction logs and customer data, while a hospital can archive medical images securely and affordably. Think of a case like that of an AI startup that needs affordable storage for massive datasets – this HDD allows you to scale without breaking the bank. Another example is in surveillance environments, where high-resolution videos are recorded continuously; 12TB capacity per drive means fewer drives required, simplifying management.
If you’re migrating from older systems like IBM or Dell enclosures, this Lenovo offers a smooth transition, with support for management tools like Lenovo XClarity for remote monitoring. In terms of sustainability, extending the life of equipment like this contributes to the reduction of e-waste, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices.
