Lenovo Storwize V7000 2U 24-Bay Enclosure
The Lenovo Storwize V7000 is a 2U rack-mountable drive enclosure designed to expand storage capacity for compatible Lenovo Storwize V7000 storage systems. It provides twenty-four hot-swap bays that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives. The unit connects via a 12Gb/s SAS interface to deliver high-speed data transfer for enterprise workloads. Its compact 2U form factor fits standard 19-inch racks for efficient density.
Suits V7000 expansion.
This enclosure suits administrators growing an existing Lenovo Storwize V7000 deployment who need additional 2.5-inch SAS drive slots. It is not for users requiring a standalone NAS or DAS appliance with built-in RAID controllers. Buyers needing 3.5-inch drive support or direct host attachment without a Storwize controller should look elsewhere. The chassis serves strictly as a SAS-attached expansion shelf.
24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity at 12Gb/s
The deciding specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch bays running on a 12Gb/s SAS internal interface. This bay count and interface speed determine how many drives you can add and the peak throughput available to the connected Storwize V7000 controller. Verify that your controller supports 12Gb/s SAS expansion and that 2.5-inch SAS media matches your performance and capacity planning.

The chassis accepts up to 24 drives, filling every front bay with a 2.5-inch SAS device.
What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface limit in real use?
Each bay runs at 12Gb/s SAS, so aggregate throughput is capped by that link speed and the host adapter.

Yes — it measures 3.4 inches high, 19 inches wide and 21.9 inches deep for a standard 2U slot.
