  • Refurbished Lenovo RAID adapters, SAS HBAs, and flash adapters for ThinkSystem and System x

Refurbished Lenovo RAID Adapters and SAS HBAs

ThinkSystem RAID adapters, such as the 530, 730, 930, and 940, and ServeRAID M5000-series controllers manage drives with RAID, while ThinkSystem HBAs, such as the 430 and 4350, pass drives through without RAID. In names like 8i, 16i, and 8e, the number is the port count, "i" means internal ports, and "e" means external ports. Flash-cache RAID adapters need a supercapacitor power module to protect the write cache, and some are sold without it, so check what is included. ServeRAID M5100 and M5200 controllers also use separate upgrade kits for RAID 5 and flash cache.

 

Refurbished Lenovo Fibre Channel and Ethernet Adapters

We stock Fibre Channel HBAs from QLogic and Emulex and Ethernet adapters, including Virtual Fabric adapters for System x and Flex System. Match the slot type and speed to your server and fabric before ordering. See our Lenovo network cards for the full range of Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand options.

 

Refurbished Lenovo Flash and NVMe Adapters

For flash storage, we stock ThinkSystem NVMe flash adapters and older System x PCIe flash adapters, including io3 and High IOPS models. The older flash adapters need a driver that matches your operating system, so confirm support before ordering.

 

Refurbished Lenovo InfiniBand and Specialty Adapters

Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adapters are used in HPC and low-latency clusters. We also stock specialty items such as M.2 RAID enablement kits, RAID drive adapter kits for blade nodes like the SN550, and Flex System interconnect modules. These are specific to the server or chassis they were built for, so match the exact part number.

 

Lenovo Adapter Part Numbers

Lenovo identifies an adapter by a seven-character FRU number, such as 00AD918 or 00AE914, or by an option part number such as 4Y37A09727 or SR17A32440. The same adapter is often sold under several numbers, so match the number from your existing adapter or confirm the exact server model. Search by any of them in our Parts Finder, or use our Server Configurator to check compatible hardware.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a used and a refurbished Lenovo adapter? A used adapter is sold as-is, without testing. Every adapter we sell is refurbished: inspected, tested, and covered by a 1-year warranty. We're an independent refurbisher, not part of Lenovo's own programs.

 

What's the difference between a RAID adapter and an HBA? A RAID adapter combines drives into RAID arrays and often has its own cache. An HBA passes drives straight through to the operating system without RAID. Match the type to how your server manages its drives.

 

What do 8i, 16i, and 8e mean in Lenovo adapter names? The number is the port count. "i" means internal ports, which connect to drives inside the server, and "e" means external ports, which connect to external enclosures.

 

How much does a refurbished Lenovo adapter cost? Prices are listed on each product and depend on the adapter type, speed, and cache size. Refurbished Lenovo adapters typically cost up to 80% less than new.

 

What's the warranty on a refurbished Lenovo adapter? Every refurbished Lenovo adapter comes with a 1-year warranty.
