ThinkSystem M.2 Drives and M.2 AdaptersProduct Guide
Abstract
M.2 is a solid-state drive (SSD) form factor primarily used as an operating system boot solution. Lenovo ThinkSystem servers support M.2 drives either with the addition of a supported M.2 adapter or module, or directly on the system board.
This product guide provides essential presales information to understand the ThinkSystem M.2 offerings, their key features and specifications, components and options, and configuration guidelines. This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the M.2 components, and consider their use in IT solutions.

Introduction
M.2 is a solid-state drive (SSD) form factor primarily used as an operating system boot solution however depending on the endurance of the M.2 drives, they may also be suitable for read-intensive or mixed workloads.
Lenovo ThinkSystem servers support M.2 drives in one of three ways, depending on the server selected:
- One or two drives, mounted in an M.2 adapter, vertically in a dedicated slot
- Two or four drives, mounted horizontally in an M.2 adapter
- Installed directly on the system board
One example is the Dual M.2 Adapter, as shown in the following figure, with one 128GB M.2 drive partially inserted. The second M.2 drive is installed on the other side of the adapter.

Did you know?
Many of the M.2 adapters include a built-in RAID controller and allows two installed M.2 drives to be configured either as RAID-1, RAID-0, or two independent drives (JBOD mode).
The Dual M.2 Adapter features a Lenovo patented design that provides a tool-less method for attaching back-to-back M.2 modules to the adapter.

Implementation
Implementation of M.2 in ThinkSystem servers is one of four ways:
- On the SR150, SR250 and ST250, a single M.2 drive is installed directly on the system board.
- On servers with 1st-Gen and 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, and on the SE350, the M.2 drives install into an M.2 adapter which in turn is installed in a dedicated slot in the server. With two M.2 drives configured, the drives are configured by default as a RAID-1 mirrored pair for redundancy. There are two M.2 adapters supported:
The Single M.2 Adapter is shown in the following photo, with the 32GB M.2 drive installed.
Figure 2. Single M.2 Adapter and a 32 GB M.2 drive- Single M.2 Adapter, which supports one M.2 drive; available as the ThinkSystem M.2 Enablement Kit
- Dual M.2 Adapter, which supports one or two M.2 drives; available as the ThinkSystem M.2 with Mirroring Enablement Kit. Includes a built-in RAID controller and allows two installed M.2 drives to be configured either as RAID-1, RAID-0, or two independent drives (JBOD mode).
- On servers with 3rd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors or AMD processors, an M.2 module is mounted horizontally and is cabled to the system board. There are three M.2 modules offered:
- SATA RAID M.2 Module, which supports two SATA M.2 drives and includes integrated RAID functionality; available as the ThinkSystem M.2 SATA 2-Bay RAID Enablement Kit
- NVMe RAID M.2 Module, which supports two NVMe M.2 drives and includes integrated RAID functionality; available as the ThinkSystem M.2 NVMe 2-Bay RAID Enablement Kit
- SATA/NVMe M.2 Module, which supports two SATA or two NVMe M.2 drives (no RAID); available as the ThinkSystem M.2 SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Enablement Kit
The following figure shows the SATA/NVMe M.2 Module with two 128 GB M.2 drives installed. Note that the production M.2 Module has a green circuit board, not the red color as shown here.
Figure 3. SATA/NVMe M.2 Module with 2 drives - On the ThinkSystem SE350 edge server, additional M.2 data drives are mounted on a 4-drive adapter that plugs into the PCIe riser. There are two M.2 modules offered:
- ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Enablement Kit, which supports four SATA or four NVMe M.2 drives without RAID support
- ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA 4-Bay Data RAID Mirroring Enablement Kit, which supports four SATA drives and supports RAID 0/1 functionality
The following figure shows the ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Enablement Kit installed in the PCIe riser.
Figure 4. ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Enablement Kit
Tip: The M.2 adapters and modules are also referred to as enablement kits. In the product publications, they are referred to as M.2 backplanes. These terms are interchangable.

Warranty
The M.2 drives and M.2 adapters carry a one-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU) limited warranty. When the drives and adapters are installed in a supported server, these drives assume the server’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.
Physical specifications
M.2 drives have the following dimensions and weight:
- 2242 form factor drives: 22 mm x 42 mm, 5 g
- 2280 form factor drives: 22 mm x 80 mm, 10 g
M.2 adapters have the following dimensions and weight:
- Single M.2 Adapter: 117 mm x 30 mm, 17 g
- Dual M.2 Adapter: 117 mm x 30 mm, 18 g
