Lenovo 8-Channel 12Gb/s SAS Storage Controller for V3700 V2

The Lenovo 01DC657 is an eight channel SAS storage controller designed for the V3700 V2 system. By supporting a 12 Gb/s interface, it adds data transfer that is both fast and dependable, so the array can keep pace with intensive workloads such as virtualization, large database queries, or media streaming.

Each of the eight channels gives the storage system additional bandwidth and better path redundancy, which helps reduce bottlenecks during peak activity and shortens backup windows. Installation is straightforward because the controller fits directly into the V3700 V2 chassis and works with the existing Lenovo management tools, so administrators can bring it online with minimal downtime.

Data centers that run round-the-clock services, branch offices that consolidate shared storage, and any environment that needs consistent I/O performance will benefit from the added throughput and reliability this controller provides. By upgrading to the Lenovo 01DC657, teams can extend the life and capability of their V3700 V2 arrays without replacing the entire storage platform.

Highlights:

• Eight channel SAS controller built for Lenovo V3700 V2
• Supports 12 Gb/s data transfer to accelerate demanding workloads
• Easy integration through Lenovo’s existing hardware and management interface
• Improves path redundancy and reduces performance bottlenecks
• Suited for enterprise environments that require consistent uptime and steady throughput
