It ships pre-installed in a genuine Lenovo hot-swap drive caddy. It is not compatible with SATA-only or SAS-only drive backplanes without NVMe cabling.
How to identify a genuine unit
The front carrier displays a Lenovo 1.92TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 label. The drive mechanism label lists Lenovo option part number 4XB7A79661, FRU code 03GX051, feature code BMZ1, and Samsung base model MZQL21T9HCJR. In XClarity Controller and OS device managers, it registers as an authentic Lenovo NVMe device.
Buying used
When purchasing pre-owned PM9A3 NVMe drives, check nvme smart-log data for percentage used endurance, critical temperature warnings, and media error counts. Inspect the U.2 connector for physical damage or debris. Verify that the drive operates without link throttling at full PCIe 4.0 x4 speed.
