The Lenovo ThinkSystem Solidigm P5520 3.84TB is a read-intensive enterprise NVMe SSD in a 2.5″ U.2 hot-swap form factor, purpose-built for data centre workloads demanding high throughput and low latency. Powered by Intel-developed 144-layer 3D TLC NAND with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, it delivers up to 6,860 MB/s sequential read, 1,000,000 random read IOPS, and latencies 40% lower than SAS making it ideal for databases, analytics, and virtualised environments running on ThinkSystem servers.

All drives include Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology with TCG Opal 2.01 compliance, enabling instant cryptographic erasure and hardware-based encryption at no performance cost. Hot-swap capability minimises downtime during maintenance, and compatibility is backed by rigorous Lenovo qualification testing for ThinkSystem platforms. VMware vSAN certified and backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 hosts.
