Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 4XB7A17103 and 7XB7A17103?

Both are Lenovo ThinkSystem 1.92TB SATA 6Gb/s Read Intensive 3D NAND TLC SSDs with AES-256 and PLP — alternate part numbers that may differ in NAND manufacturer or specific server model validation. Verify from Lenovo's compatibility matrix.

What is AES-256 encryption on this SSD?

AES-256 is hardware-based full-disk encryption built into the SSD controller. Data is encrypted at rest without performance impact. Requires compatible key management or TCG Opal-compliant software to activate encryption.

What is Power Loss Protection (PLP)?

PLP uses onboard capacitors to flush write cache to NAND in the event of sudden power loss, preventing data corruption or loss in enterprise environments.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem 4XB7A17103 delivers 1.92TB of SATA 6Gb/s Read Intensive 3D NAND TLC SSD storage with AES-256 encryption and Power Loss Protection — purpose-built for secure, high-reliability enterprise ThinkSystem server deployments.
