Lenovo ThinkSystem DM3010H
The ThinkSystem DM3010H is Lenovo's current-generation entry unified hybrid storage array running Lenovo ONTAP. Replacing the DM3000H, it incorporates faster controller processors, increased memory bandwidth, and out-of-the-box support for ONTAP 9 modern data management features including ransomware protection, autonomous tiering to cloud storage, and unified block/file delivery. The 2U chassis houses 12 LFF hot-swap drives and expands to 144 total drives with external SAS expansion shelves. Second-hand buyers should verify that ONTAP license entitlements remain attached to the system serial numbers, ensure NVRAM cache batteries pass self-tests, and confirm dual controller synchronization.
