Lenovo ThinkSystem M.2 7450 PRO 480GB Read Intensive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD (NHS)

If SATA throughput is the number holding your server back and you've got the PCIe lane headroom to spare, this is the step up. The 7450 PRO runs NVMe over PCIe 4.0 x4 — a different performance tier from the SATA 5400 series in the same M.2 footprint. Read-intensive profile suits databases, virtualisation, and any workload where read latency is the metric that actually matters to your users. SED encryption is standard on every unit, so your data stays locked even if someone physically removes the drive from the chassis. Fixed mount, no hot-swap mechanism. One less thing to go wrong

• NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 interface for significantly higher throughput than SATA equivalents
• 480GB capacity in compact M.2 form factor
• Read-intensive optimisation for databases, virtualisation, and high-IOPS workloads
• SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) encryption as standard for at-rest data security
• No hot-swap (NHS) fixed-mount design
• Lenovo ISG enterprise-grade construction
