Enterprise 1.2TB SAS drive

The Lenovo 00NA261 is a 1.2TB internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. The drive uses SLC NAND flash and a 512e sector format for reliable performance in demanding workloads. It ships in retail or OEM packaging that may vary.

Suited for high-throughput arrays

This drive suits administrators who need fast, consistent access to 1.2TB of enterprise data on a SAS backplane. Buyers who need a different capacity or a non-SAS interface should look at other models. Systems without a 12Gb/s SAS connection cannot use this drive. The 10000 RPM spindle speed targets performance-oriented deployments.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your controller or backplane must support this exact standard for the drive to function. The 2.5 inch form factor and 10000 RPM speed are secondary constraints that follow from the interface choice. Verify the interface match before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 10000 RPM spindle generate in a server running all day?

The 10000 RPM spindle produces typical enterprise drive heat; ensure your chassis airflow meets the vendor's thermal guidelines for 2.5" SAS drives.

What controller or backplane do I need for the SAS 12Gb/s interface?

A SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter, RAID controller or backplane with a compatible 2.5" drive bay is required to connect the 12Gb/s SAS interface.

Will this 512e 1.2TB drive work in an array with older 512n SAS drives?

The 512e format can share a SAS 12Gb/s backplane with 512n drives, but the array must be configured for the lowest common sector size.
