4XB7A38087: Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series 3.84TB 1DWPD 2.5" NVMe SED 2U24 SSD
Also listed as: 4XB7A38087-01, MZ-1L23T80, SP47A57632, 02DA320, MZ1L23T8HBLT · made by Samsung
The Lenovo 4XB7A38087 is a 3.84TB enterprise NVMe solid-state drive with FIPS-grade self-encrypting drive (SED) capabilities, designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series high-performance NVMe storage arrays (DE6400 and DE6600). Operating on a high-speed PCIe Gen4 NVMe bus in a 2U24 hot-swap carrier, it delivers consistent sub-millisecond read latency and enterprise write endurance for demanding transaction processing, database indexing, and virtualized workloads. On the used and broker market, buyers should confirm that drive firmware is genuine Lenovo DE storage code, verify that SED lock keys have been cryptographically erased or reset, and ensure the 2U24 carrier latch operates smoothly.

About the 4XB7A38087
4XB7A38087 is a high-capacity 3.84TB enterprise 12Gb/s SAS hot-swap solid state drive for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, based on Samsung PM1643a hardware. Rated for read-intensive workloads (1 DWPD), it delivers dual-port redundancy, sustained sequential reads up to 2,100 MB/s, and random read performance of 380,000 IOPS. It sits in Lenovo's enterprise SAS tier above SATA drives, designed for mission-critical databases, virtualization datastores, and dual-controller SAN shelves requiring active-active multipath failover.
Compatibility
The drive requires small-form-factor 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays connected to a 12Gb/s SAS controller or SAS expander backplane (such as Lenovo RAID 930, 940, or 530 series). It does not function on motherboard SATA AHCI ports, as SATA controllers cannot talk to SAS drives. It does not fit legacy ThinkServer or non-Lenovo drive trays without swapping the caddy. It is fully backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS host adapters, though throughput will be limited to 6Gb speeds.
How to identify a genuine unit
Genuine Lenovo stock is fitted into a ThinkSystem caddy with an identification sticker showing option part number 4XB7A38087, FRU part number 02CW003 or SP47A38087, and feature code B8J3. The underlying drive displays Samsung PM1643a branding with model MZ-ILT3T8A. In XClarity Controller and StorCLI, the drive reports Lenovo signed SAS firmware and displays dual-port link negotiation.
Buying used
Request a SAS log page extract (specifically Log Page 0x37 and 0x02) to inspect grown defect lists, percentage endurance remaining, and power-on hours. Ensure the drive was not reformatted with non-standard 520-byte sectors from a decommissioned SAN enclosure; standard ThinkSystem servers require standard 512-byte or 4096-byte formatting. Verify that both physical SAS ports establish link cleanly on a dual-port backplane.
