Description
The Lenovo ThinkSystem 6500 ION 30.72TB SSD is a high-capacity enterprise NVMe solid-state drive designed for read-intensive and general-purpose data center workloads. Featuring a U.3 interface with PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity, it delivers high I/O throughput, low latency, and strong performance for demanding server and storage environments.
Built on the Micron 6500 ION platform with 232-layer 3D TLC NAND, the drive provides up to 1,000,000 random read IOPS, sequential read speeds up to 6,800 MB/s, and sequential write speeds up to 5,000 MB/s. Its 30.72TB capacity helps organizations consolidate large datasets while maintaining enterprise-class performance and efficiency.
Self-encrypting drive functionality with TCG Opal security helps protect sensitive data, while advanced ECC, end-to-end data protection, power-loss protection, thermal monitoring, and S.M.A.R.T. support provide additional reliability for business-critical deployments.
Ideal for applications with predominantly read-oriented workloads, including analytics, content repositories, cloud infrastructure, virtualization, and large-scale enterprise storage.
