Lenovo 4XB7A17177

Overview

The Lenovo 4XB7A17177 is a 480GB internal solid-state drive designed to fit into a standard 3.5 inch bay and connect via a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It is built for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, combining the speed and endurance of Samsung V-NAND technology with the familiarity of SATA connections. With read speeds up to 550 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s, it significantly improves data access times for tasks like database queries, virtual machine startups, and backup restores compared to traditional hard drives.

Key features

• 480GB capacity provides ample space for operating systems, applications, and active data sets.
• Hot-swap capability enables drive replacement or upgrades without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime.
• Dynamic Thermal Guard technology helps maintain optimal operating temperatures to protect data integrity under heavy workloads.
• Power-loss data protection ensures that data is safely preserved during unexpected outages.
• S.M.A.R.T. monitoring offers proactive health insights, allowing administrators to address potential issues before they impact performance.
• Samsung V-NAND technology delivers consistent throughput and high endurance for demanding server environments.
• Rated for a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours, supporting long-term reliability in critical applications.

Connectivity and compatibility

This SSD connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and other systems that support 3.5 inch SATA drives. Its design allows straightforward integration into existing server setups without requiring additional adapters or modifications.

Performance and reliability

The drive’s use of Samsung V-NAND technology provides a balance of speed and endurance, making it suitable for read-heavy workloads such as analytics clusters or file servers. Features like Dynamic Thermal Guard and power-loss data protection enhance data safety during intensive use and unexpected power interruptions. The high MTBF rating and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring contribute to dependable long-term operation, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.

Ideal uses and environments

This Lenovo SSD is well suited to environments that demand reliable and fast storage without moving away from the SATA standard. It fits well in small business file servers, cloud hosting platforms, and Lenovo ThinkSystem servers where hot-swap capability and data protection are priorities. Its performance characteristics make it a strong choice for workloads that benefit from faster data access but do not require NVMe speeds.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
