M.2 Replacing USB & SD

The new standard in internal bootable media. The M.2 interface improves the

overall performance, capacities, and overall power. Patented design allows for

dual mirrored M.2 implementation, while improving installation and reliability.

• Improved performance– M.2 interface supports faster interfaces,

reducing boot times, as well as read/write speeds for logging

• Increased capacity – Meets the future demands for capacity for

OS support, logging, and overall internal data needs

• Reliable interface – Patented interface card allows for ease of

installation, redundant M.2 modules, and ease of maintenance

AnyBay

AnyBay is a trademark of Lenovo’s and is an advantage for Lenovo servers.

AnyBay is used for the unique design of the drive bay that offer the flexibility for user to install a U.2 drive or SAS

drive or SATA drive.

This feature differentiate Lenovo server from competitors as competitor products often do not have the flexible

capability. Instead, an U.2 drive bay is dedicated for U.2 and cannot support SAS/SATA drives. Vice versa that a

SAS/SATA drive bay cannot support an U.2 drive.
