Mega Storage at a Great Price

The Lenovo Storage D3284 delivers high-density direct-attach storage. It supports mixing-and-matching different drive types for high performance, high capacity, or a combination of the two.

Affordable high-density options, combining 7,200rpm NL-SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) with high-IOPS/low-latency SAS solid-state drives (SSDs), enable a multitiered storage infrastructure in a single enclosure or daisy-chain. It supports up to 4 enclosures in a single chain. Chains can be connected to up to three servers.

Affordable, High-Capacity, Flexible Storage

High-capacity 3.5-inch NL-SAS drives offer up to 1680TB of “cold” or archive storage in only 5U, and up to 6.7PB in 20U, using four daisy-chained enclosures.

SSDs (645TB in 5U, 2.58PB in 20U) provide the extreme throughput necessary for the most I/O-intensive jobs, such as HPC, high-frequency trading (HFT), and caching. With up to 84 drives per enclosure and 336 per daisy-chain, there is plenty of room for multitiered drive types.

High Availability, High Density

Hot-swap redundant components, including dual ESMs, dual 80 Plus Platinum power supplies, and five fans, provide the high availability needed for a high-density storage platform.

D3284 is a key component of the Lenovo Distributed Storage Solution (DSS-G) for IBM Spectrum Scale.

The high-density enclosure uses 1/3 less rack space than the equivalent number of drives in traditional 2U enclosures and fits in 1m deep racks, so it works with existing infrastructures.
