Introduction

The Lenovo NVMe Enterprise Mainstream PCIe 2.5-inch solid-state drives (SSDs) in capacities of 960 GB and 1.92 TB are advanced data center SSDs optimized for mixed read-write performance, endurance, and strong data protection for Lenovo servers. They are engineered for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design, and to support a broader set of workloads.

Did you know?

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a technology that overcomes SAS/SATA SSD performance limitations by optimizing hardware and software to take full advantage of flash technology. The use of NVMe drives means data is transferred more efficiently from the processor to the drives compared to the legacy Advance Host Controller Interface (AHCI) stack, thereby reducing latency and overhead. These SSDs connect directly to the processor via the PCIe bus, further reducing latency and TCO.

Lenovo Enterprise Mainstream SSDs are suitable for mixed read-write and general-purpose data center workloads, however their NVMe PCIe interface means the drives also offer high performance. Overall, these SSDs provide outstanding IOPS/watt and cost/IOPS for enterprise solutions.
