About the 4XB7A74951
The Lenovo 4XB7A74951 is an 18TB 3.5-inch 7,200 RPM helium-sealed enterprise SAS hard drive module engineered for Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series SAN storage systems. Sourced from high-reliability platforms including Seagate Exos X18 with custom SANtricity firmware, it provides maximum high-density rotational capacity for DE2000H, DE4000H, and DE6400H arrays configured for backup, disaster recovery, and video archival.
Compatibility
Compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem DE2000H, DE4000H, DE4200H, DE6400H, DE6600H arrays, and DE120S 12-drive expansion enclosures. Requires SANtricity OS 11.70 or newer to recognize 18TB drive geometries. It is incompatible with standard ThinkSystem SR/ST servers and cannot be used in NetApp FAS/AFF ONTAP systems without re-flashing.
How to identify a genuine unit
The drive is housed in a ThinkSystem DE Series 3.5-inch hot-swap drive canister. The front carrier displays an 18TB capacity label, and the top drive label lists Lenovo option part number 4XB7A74951, FRU code 02JK850, and feature code BKYY. In SANtricity System Manager, it identifies with certified Lenovo DE microcode.
Buying used
When purchasing used 18TB DE Series drives, verify that the front tray latch and rear SAS connector interface are intact and unbent. Check helium integrity and SMART logs in SANtricity to confirm that the drive reports zero media errors. Ensure the drive possesses genuine Lenovo DE firmware rather than third-party or generic SAS microcode.
