Product Description

Key specs
- Capacity: 5TB
- Spindle speed: 7200 RPM
- Form factor: 3.5-inch
- Interface: SATA
- Part number: 00LA954
Where it fits
This drive is designed for Lenovo ThinkServer platforms and compatible storage systems. The 3.5-inch size matches standard server drive bays in tower and rack-mounted chassis, and the SATA interface connects to compatible server backplanes and storage controllers. Before buying, check your server or NVR accepts a 3.5-inch SATA drive and has a free bay.
RAID and multi-drive use
The drive is designed for deployment in RAID configurations — arrays where several drives work together for redundancy (data copied across drives) and extra capacity. This makes it a sensible choice for CCTV recording servers and file storage platforms that need dependable mid-capacity storage alongside other drives, rather than running as a single stand-alone disk.
Typical uses
Lenovo lists this drive for file servers, backup infrastructure, surveillance recording servers, and general enterprise storage — anywhere continuous, business-critical storage is needed.
