Lenovo ThinkSystem 7450 MAX Mixed Use NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs
Did you know?
Lenovo Mixed Used SSDs like the 7450 MAX SSDs are suitable for mixed read-
write and general-purpose data center workloads, however their NVMe PCIe
interface means the drives also offer high performance. Overall, these SSDs
provide outstanding IOPS/watt and cost/IOPS for enterprise solutions. Self-
encrypting drives (SEDs) provide benefits by encrypting data on-the-fly at the
drive level with no performance impact, by providing instant secure erasure
thereby making the data no longer readable, and by enabling auto-locking to
secure active data if a drive is misplaced or stolen from a system while in
use. These features are essential for many businesses, especially those
storing customer data.

The key metric for solid state drives is their endurance (life expectancy). SSDs have a huge, but finite, number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which determines how long the drives can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy. Write Intensive SSDs have better endurance than Mixed Use SSDs, which in turn have better endurance than Read Intensive SSDs. SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase cycles that the drive can incur over its lifetime, which is listed as TBW in the device specification. The TBW value that is assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data that a drive can be guaranteed to complete. Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail; the TBW simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid- state device does not fail upon reaching the specified TBW, but at some point after surpassing the TBW value (and based on manufacturing variance margins), the drive reaches the end-of-life point, at which time the drive goes into read-only mode. Because of such behavior, careful planning must be done to use SSDs in the application environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive is not exceeded before the required life expectancy. For example, the 7450 MAX 1.6 TB drive has an endurance of 8,700 TB of total bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, write workload must be limited to no more than 4,767 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 3.0 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 7,945 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 5.0 full drive writes per day.
The benefits of drive encryption
All ThinkSystem 7450 MAX Mixed Use NVMe SSDs support drive encryption. Self- encrypting drives (SEDs) provide benefits in three main ways:
- By encrypting data on-the-fly at the drive level with no performance impact
- By providing instant secure erasure (cryptographic erasure, thereby making the data no longer readable)
- By enabling auto-locking to secure active data if a drive is misplaced or stolen from a system while in use
The following sections describe the benefits in more details.
Automatic encryption
It is vital that a company keep its data secure. With the threat of data loss
due to physical theft or improper inventory practices, it is important that
the data be encrypted. However, challenges with performance, scalability, and
complexity have led IT departments to push back against security policies that
require the use of encryption. In addition, encryption has been viewed as
risky by those unfamiliar with key management, a process for ensuring a
company can always decrypt its own data. Self-encrypting drives
comprehensively resolve these issues, making encryption both easy and
affordable. When the self-encrypting drive is in normal use, its owner need
not maintain authentication keys (otherwise known as credentials or passwords)
in order to access the data on the drive. The self-encrypting drive will
encrypt data being written to the drive and decrypt data being read from it,
all without requiring an authentication key from the owner.
Drive retirement and disposal
When hard drives are retired and moved outside the physically protected data
center into the hands of others, the data on those drives is put at
significant risk. IT departments retire drives for a variety of reasons,
including:
- Returning drives for warranty, repair, or expired lease agreements
- Removal and disposal of drives
- Repurposing drives for other storage duties
Nearly all drives eventually leave the data center and their owner’s control.
Corporate data resides on such drives, and when most leave the data center,
the data they contain is still readable. Even data that has been striped
across many drives in a RAID array is vulnerable to data theft because just a
typical single stripe in today’s high-capacity arrays is large enough to
expose for example, hundreds of names and bank account numbers. In an effort
to avoid data breaches and the ensuing customer notifications required by data
privacy laws, companies use different methods to erase the data on retired
drives before they leave the premises and potentially fall into the wrong
hands. Current retirement practices that are designed to make data unreadable
rely on significant human involvement in the process, and are thus subject to
both technical and human failure.
The drawbacks of today’s drive retirement practices include the following:
- Overwriting drive data is expensive, tying up valuable system resources for days. No notification of completion is generated by the drive, and overwriting won’t cover reallocated sectors, leaving that data exposed.
- Methods that include degaussing or physically shredding a drive are expensive. It is difficult to ensure the degauss strength is optimized for the drive type, potentially leaving readable data on the drive. Physically shredding the drive is environmentally hazardous, and neither practice allows the drive to be returned for warranty or expired lease.
- Some companies have concluded the only way to securely retire drives is to keep them in their control, storing them indefinitely in warehouses. But this is not truly secure because a large volume of drives coupled with human involvement inevitably leads to some drives being lost or stolen.
- Professional disposal services is an expensive option and includes the cost of reconciling the services as well as internal reports and auditing. Transporting of the drives also has the potential of putting the data at risk.
Self-encrypting drives eliminate the need to overwrite, destroy, or store
retired drives. When the drive is to be retired, it can be cryptographically
erased, a process that is nearly instantaneous regardless of the capacity of
the drive.
Instant secure erase
The self-encrypting drive provides instant data encryption key destruction via
cryptographic erasure. When it is time to retire or repurpose the drive, the
owner sends a command to the drive to perform a cryptographic erasure.
Cryptographic erasure simply replaces the encryption key inside the encrypted
drive, making it impossible to ever decrypt the data encrypted with the
deleted key. Self-encrypting drives reduce IT operating expenses by reducing
asset control challenges and disposal costs. Data security with self-
encrypting drives helps ensure compliance with privacy regulations without
hindering IT efficiency. So called “Safe Harbor” clauses in government
regulations allow companies to not have to notify customers of occurrences of
data theft if that data was encrypted and therefore unreadable. Furthermore,
self-encrypting drives simplify decommissioning and preserve hardware value
for returns and repurposing by:
- Eliminating the need to overwrite or destroy the drive
- Securing warranty returns and expired lease returns
- Enabling drives to be repurposed securely
Auto-locking
Insider theft or misplacement is a growing concern for businesses of all
sizes; in addition, managers of branch offices and small businesses without
strong physical security face greater vulnerability to external theft. Self-
encrypting drives include a feature called auto-lock mode to help secure
active data against theft. Using a self-encrypting drive when auto-lock mode
is enabled simply requires securing the drive with an authentication key. When
secured in this manner, the drive’s data encryption key is locked whenever the
drive is powered down. In other words, the moment the self-encrypting drive is
switched off or unplugged, it automatically locks down the drive’s data. When
the self-encrypting drive is then powered back on, it requires authentication
before being able to unlock its encryption key and read any data on the drive,
thus protecting against misplacement and theft. While using self-encrypting
drives just for the instant secure erase is an extremely efficient and
effective means to help securely retire a drive, using self-encrypting drives
in auto-lock mode provides even more advantages. From the moment the drive or
system is removed from the data center (with or without authorization), the
drive is locked. No advance thought or action is required from the data center
administrator to protect the data. This helps prevent a breach should the
drive be mishandled and helps secure the data against the threat of insider or
outside theft.

Warranty
The 7450 MAX SSDs carry a one-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU) limited warranty. When the SSDs are installed in a supported server, these drives assume the system’s base warranty and any warranty upgrades. Solid State Memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of program/erase cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid state device has a maximum amount of program/erase cycles to which it can be subjected. The warranty for Lenovo solid state drives (SSDs) is limited to drives that have not reached the maximum guaranteed number of program/erase cycles, as documented in the Official Published Specifications for the SSD product. A drive that reaches this limit may fail to operate according to its Specifications.
