Product Features
Technical Overview
This drive features a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) design, optimizing space efficiency in dense server configurations. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides double the bandwidth of previous 6Gb/s generations, reducing data transfer bottlenecks in multi-drive arrays. The 10,000 RPM spindle speed balances performance with power consumption, delivering fast seek times for random access workloads.
The 512e (512-byte emulation) sector format maintains compatibility with legacy systems while supporting advanced error correction and storage efficiency features. As an internal drive type, it integrates directly into server backplanes or drive bays, with hot-swappable functionality enabling live replacement during operation. The drive excludes wireless LAN connectivity, focusing purely on wired server storage applications.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Disk Format, Spindle Speed (rpm). When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages

FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Axiom hard drive?
This Axiom hard drive offers 2.40 terabytes (TB) of storage capacity. This provides ample space for server operating systems, applications, databases, and frequently accessed files, balancing performance with storage density for enterprise environments.
What interface does this drive use, and what is its speed?
The drive uses a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a 12Gb/s standard. This high-speed interface supports full-duplex communication, allowing simultaneous read and write operations, which is essential for server workloads requiring maximum throughput and reliability.
Is this drive hot-swappable?
Yes, this drive features hot-swappable capability. This means you can replace or remove the drive while the server remains powered on and operational, minimizing downtime and enabling maintenance without interrupting critical services in data center environments.
What is the spindle speed (RPM) of this hard drive?
The drive operates at 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). This spindle speed provides fast seek times and consistent data access rates, making it suitable for applications that require responsive performance, such as database servers and virtual machine hosts.
Which Lenovo server models are compatible with this drive?
This drive is compatible with Lenovo ThinkServer sd350 and System x servers including x3250 M6, x3550 M5, x3850 X6, and x3950 X6 models. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with these servers' backplanes and storage controllers for reliable operation.
What does the 512e disk format mean?
512e refers to 512-byte emulation, a sector format where the drive presents 512-byte sectors to the operating system while internally using larger 4K sectors. This maintains compatibility with older systems and software while improving error correction and storage efficiency for modern server environments.
