Lenovo 240 GB SATA enterprise SSD

The Lenovo 4XB7A14914 is a 3.5-inch internal solid-state drive built for server environments. It uses 3D NAND TLC memory and a SATA 6 Gb/s interface to deliver 240 GB of storage capacity. The drive is validated for Lenovo ThinkSystem ST50 servers and carries a 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating. Power draw during active operation is 2.4 W.

Suited for ThinkSystem ST50 upgrades.

This SSD targets administrators adding capacity to ThinkSystem ST50 7Y48 or 7Y49 configurations that accept 3.5-inch fixed drives. Sequential reads reach 560 MB/s and writes reach 290 MB/s, with random read IOPS up to 85,000 and random write IOPS up to 17,000. Buyers needing hot-swappable sleds or higher endurance for write-intensive workloads should evaluate other enterprise options.

SATA 6 Gb/s interface determines host compatibility

The single specification that governs fit is the SATA 6 Gb/s interface paired with the 3.5-inch 7.00 mm height form factor. Systems must provide a standard SATA data and power connection and a drive bay that accommodates the 70.00 mm width. Without a native SATA port the drive cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the drive is performing at its rated 85,000 random read IOPS after installation?

Run a 4 KB random read benchmark such as FIO or CrystalDiskMark and compare the result to the specified 85,000 IOPS figure.

What ships with the 4XB7A14914 and what must I source separately for a ThinkSystem ST50?

The drive itself is supplied; you will need a 3.5" drive bay, a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the server.

Which capacity should I choose if my workload demands the highest sequential write speed this model offers?

This model is only available in 240 GB and delivers up to 290 MBps sequential write.
