Lenovo RAID 720i AnyRAID Adapter
The Lenovo 4XB0F28693 RAID 720i AnyRAID Adapter is a server accessory designed to add hardware RAID capability to compatible Lenovo systems. It targets IT administrators and system integrators who need to configure redundant storage arrays on supported server platforms. The adapter installs in a dedicated AnyRAID slot rather than a standard PCIe slot. It suits environments requiring data protection through RAID levels without occupying a general-purpose expansion slot.
AnyRAID form factor and PCIe interface
The AnyRAID form factor allows direct connection to the server's dedicated RAID connector, leaving standard PCIe slots free for other expansion cards. The adapter uses an 8885e PCIe interface to communicate with the host system. This integration means the card does not require a separate power cable or bracket. The bundled mounting hardware secures the adapter in the proprietary slot. No additional software licenses are included beyond the firmware on the card.
RAID capacity and headroom
The RAID 720i supports multiple RAID levels to provide redundancy and performance for attached drives. It comfortably handles arrays built from four or more drives, offering headroom for capacity expansion within the server's drive bay limits. Performance scales with the number and speed of the connected drives. The adapter runs out of headroom when the number of drives exceeds the controller's port count or when the server's AnyRAID slot bandwidth is saturated by heavy I/O workloads.

Questions about this item
Will the Lenovo 4XB0F28693 RAID 720i AnyRAID Adapter require a firmware update or battery replacement during its service life?
The RAID 720i adapter supports firmware updates through Lenovo management tools; any cache-backup power module would follow the server platform's replacement schedule.
Which component of the RAID 720i AnyRAID Adapter reaches its limit first under sustained heavy I/O workloads?
The onboard controller and memory complex set the sustained throughput ceiling before the PCIe 8885e host link saturates.
How much power does the 4XB0F28693 RAID 720i draw when operating continuously in a server?
The adapter draws power from the AnyRAID slot; typical consumption stays within the slot's rated envelope for RAID controllers.
