About the 4XB7A74955
4XB7A74955 is a high-performance 1.92TB read-intensive PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe solid state drive in a 2.5-inch U.3 form factor for ThinkSystem V2 and V3 servers, powered by Samsung PM9A3 technology. Rated at 1 DWPD, it delivers up to 6,800 MB/s sequential read and 850,000 IOPS random read performance. Within Lenovo's flash portfolio, it represents the modern PCIe Gen4 standard, delivering more than ten times the bandwidth of legacy SATA SSDs for real-time analytics, machine learning caches, and dense VM datastores.
Compatibility
The drive fits small-form-factor drive bays cabled for NVMe, either through a tri-mode RAID adapter (such as RAID 940) or directly to the motherboard via SlimSAS/MCIO PCIe cables. It is supported in ThinkSystem SR650 V2, SR650 V3, SR630 V2, SR630 V3, and SR665 V3. It does not work in bays wired only for SAS/SATA, even though the physical U.3 connector will mate. It does not fit legacy ThinkSystem V1 servers lacking U.3 universal backplane wiring.
How to identify a genuine unit
The unit features a Lenovo hot-swap caddy with an orange NVMe icon and a label displaying option number 4XB7A74955, FRU part number 02JK008 or SP47A74955, and feature code BKSV. The physical SSD is a Samsung PM9A3 with model MZQL21T9HCJR-00ALV. Lenovo XClarity Controller and nvme-cli detect the drive with Lenovo firmware prefix LDx and verify genuine NVMe device authorization.
Buying used
Check remaining wear percentage using nvme smart-log, inspecting available spare blocks and percentage used counters. Confirm that the drive does not have OEM firmware locks from other vendors like Dell or HPE, which can prevent Lenovo XCC from managing the drive. Inspect the U.3 connector blades for physical damage or bent pins. Make sure the ThinkSystem U.3 hot-swap caddy is included.
