LENOVO 7Y71A00QWW THINKSYSTEM DE2000H 2U24 SFF
The ThinkSystem DE2000H supports the complete range of data storage requirements, from highly used applications to high-capacity, low usage applications.
The following drives are supported in the 2U24 SFF enclosures:
- Capacity-optimized SSDs (1 drive write per day [DWD]): 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, and 15.36 TB
- High performance SSDs (3 DWD): 800 GB, 1.6 TB
- High performance self-encrypting FIPS SSDs (3 DWD): 1.6 TB
- Performance-optimized, enterprise class HDDs: 1.2 TB and 1.8 TB 10K rpm
- Performance-optimized, enterprise class self-encrypting FIPS HDDs: 1.8 TB 10K rpm
The following drives are supported in the 2U12 LFF enclosures:
- High-performance SSDs (3 DWD; 2.5" drive in a 3.5" drive tray): 800 GB
- High performance self-encrypting FIPS SSDs (3 DWD; 2.5" drive in a 3.5" drive tray): 1.6 TB
- High-capacity, archival-class nearline HDDs: 4 TB, 8 TB, 10 TB, 12 TB, and 16 TB 7.2K rpm
- High-capacity, archival-class nearline self-encrypting FIPS HDDs: 6 TB and 10 TB 7.2K rpm
All drives are dual-port and hot-swappable. Drives of the same form factor can be intermixed within the appropriate enclosure, which provides the flexibility to address performance and capacity needs within a single enclosure.
Up to three 2U expansion enclosures (ThinkSystem DE240S 2U24 SFF, or ThinkSystem DE120S 2U12 LFF, or a combination of the ThinkSystem DE240S and DE120S) are supported by a single ThinkSystem DE2000H system. Customers can intermix 2U24 SFF and 2U12 LFF expansion enclosures behind a 2U24 SFF or 2U12 LFF controller enclosure. This configuration delivers the added flexibility to mix 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives within a single system.
More drives and expansion enclosures are designed to be dynamically added with virtually no downtime, which helps to quickly and seamlessly respond to ever-growing capacity demands.
The ThinkSystem DE2000H offers high levels of system and data availability with the following technologies:
- Dual-active controller modules with automatic load balancing and failover
- Mirrored data cache with flash backup (battery-backed destaging to flash)
- Dual-port SAS HDDs and SSDs with automatic drive failure detection and rebuild with global hot spares
- Redundant, hot-swappable and customer replaceable hardware components, including SFP/SFP+ transceivers, controller and I/O modules, power supplies, and drives
- Automated path failover support for the data path between the host and the drives with multipathing software
- Non-disruptive controller and drive firmware upgrades
