Lenovo 6 TB SATA hard drive

The Lenovo 00FN173 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop systems and servers that use SATA connections. It suits administrators and builders who need large-volume magnetic storage for backups, archives or bulk data.

Capacity and rotational speed

Six terabytes of capacity provide room for extensive file libraries, media collections or surveillance footage. The 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for sequential workloads, while the 6 Gb/s SATA link sets the ceiling for sustained transfer rates.

Hot-swap tray included

A hot-swap tray ships with the bare drive so it can be inserted or removed from compatible bays without powering down the chassis. This reduces downtime during drive replacements or array maintenance in rack-mount or tower enclosures.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s interface on this 00FN173 work with my older motherboard that only has 3Gb/s ports?

Yes, the SATA 6Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 3Gb/s ports; the drive will operate at the slower 3Gb/s transfer rate.

How can I confirm the 7200 RPM drive is running at full 6Gb/s speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in your BIOS or OS disk utility — it should report 6Gb/s; also listen for the characteristic 7200 RPM spin-up sound.

The listing mentions bare drive packaging; does the box include a hot-swap tray or mounting screws for a 3.5" bay?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit only; the hot-swap tray and any mounting screws must be purchased separately.
