✅ Why This Drive Rocks

• Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited, secure-erased to NIST 800-88 standards, and verified for 100% health for immediate server deployment.

• Dual-Port SAS Reliability: Unlike standard SATA drives, this NL SAS drive provides two signal paths to the controller, offering superior data path redundancy and higher availability in RAID configurations.

• System x Optimized: Fully compatible with Lenovo/IBM System x3650 M5 and x3550 M5 servers, utilizing the G3HS carrier to ensure proper airflow and mechanical fit.

• 12Gbps Bandwidth: Built on the SAS-3 standard, it provides the necessary throughput to eliminate interface bottlenecks in modern 12G backplanes.

📦 Compatibility & Use Case

• Target Systems: Native support for Lenovo System x3250 M6, x3550 M5, x3650 M5 and various NeXtScale enclosures.

• Best For: Bulk data storage, enterprise backup, video surveillance, and tiered storage environments.

• Note: This is an Enterprise SAS drive. It requires a SAS-compatible backplane/controller and will not function in standard consumer SATA ports.
