Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 2.5" NVMe Gen4 2-Bay Rear Drive Kit v2

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 2.5" NVMe Gen4 2-Bay Rear Drive Kit v2 is a purpose-built expansion solution designed to maximize performance and efficiency in a compact server footprint. This rear-drive kit enables two hot-swappable 2.5-inch NVMe drives to be mounted at the back of the ThinkSystem SR635 family, freeing front bays for maximum I/O flexibility and improved airflow. Built for data-intensive workloads, this kit helps accelerate databases, virtualization, big data analytics, and high-velocity caching apps by delivering the speed of NVMe Gen4 with the reliability and manageability Lenovo is known for. Whether you’re expanding storage for a growing virtualization environment, implementing a high-performance database, or adding fast scratch space for in-memory workloads, this rear drive kit is designed to integrate seamlessly with your SR635 server and existing backplane, ensuring a clean, organized configuration with minimal downtime.

  • Dual 2.5-inch NVMe Gen4 drive bays in a compact rear-facing kit provide high-bandwidth storage expansion for demanding workloads. By leveraging NVMe Gen4, you benefit from lower latency and higher throughput compared to traditional SAS/SATA options, making this kit ideal for databases, VDI, and large-scale caching applications.
  • Rear-mounted design for optimized airflow and cabling This kit moves storage to the back of the chassis, freeing front-panel space and promoting improved cooling efficiency. The result is a cleaner interior with reduced cable clutter, which can help sustain performance under heavier I/O loads.
  • Tool-free drive carriers and streamlined installation The enclosure ships with user-friendly, tool-free carriers that simplify drive installation and replacement. This translates to faster maintenance windows, reduced downtime, and easier upgrades for administrators managing growing storage needs.
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 Designed to integrate with the SR635 family, this rear drive kit aligns with Lenovo’s backplane ecosystem to ensure reliable operation and consistent firmware behavior. It’s an excellent option for organizations standardizing on ThinkSystem hardware and seeking a scalable storage upgrade without complex reconfiguration.
  • Reliable, enterprise-grade build with Lenovo support Expect durable construction and Lenovo’s support ecosystem, including warranty coverage and access to Lenovo’s service network. This kit is built to endure the rigors of data-center environments and to support ongoing maintenance with minimal disruption to operations.

The most tender dried meat snack I've had, with the most unique flavor. A high quality Keto and Paleo friendly snack.
I bought this"jerky" because it promised a unique experience with no carbs. What it delivers is a high quality snack that is so tender and easy to chew that you can't really describe it as jerky. The texture is unique and the flavor has a smooth heat that builds up in your mouth. The more you chew it, the more this heat develops. It's not a scorching heat but more of a background warmth that builds up slightly and lingers on your palette. Containing no carbs, this is a great Keto and Paleo friendly snack that adds a welcome bit of variety from the usual fare. Because it is grass fed beef, it contains CLA, which is very beneficial for individuals who are taking these dietary journeys. This was a high quality and unique experience.

This is absolutely, without doubt, the BEST jerky I've ever had in my life. I will never buy anything else again.
This is FABULOUS. So much better than anything else out there it's amazing. I will never buy anything else again. The meat is so tender, sliced thinly or made into a delicious stick. I have tried every "natural" "organic" jerky I could find. I was ready to give up on jerky, even though it can, in theory, provide such a great hit of protein on the go. It's obvious Ayoba-Yo uses the best ingredients available. They don't have to cover them up with a lot of salt and things that taste weird. The others, even the ones that say they're natural, are still loaded with salt, full of gristle, obviously sub-standard meats were used in the other guys products. I'm totally serious about Ayoba-Yo, it makes a great tasting, nutritious meal and you feel good after you eat it. I usually avoid leaving reviews. This is a product I want to see around for a long time, so I want to support them anyway I can. What they're doing matters to those of us trying to stay healthy. The way to keep them is to buy their products. I plan to do my part.

Some consistency problems but excellent biltong
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really enjoy beef jerky but drying meat on a cross grain cut results in subpar product. Biltong is dried in larger pieces, then cut into thin strips against the grain. This results in much more consistent slices and a much more tender snack than beef jerky. I've ordered several packages of this now and they are mostly great. The first was just about perfect, only a handful of slices were much wider or narrower with very few fines. Other packages have had more inconsistencies including more fine bits and one package that was less lean and didn't seem dried quite as well. It was still perfectly edible but the texture was less pleasing. That's a relative comparison because it was still very good. That single package was a 3.5 star while others were 5.

I don't know what it's supposed to be like
I have never had Biltong so I have no idea how this compares to others. I was pretty excited about it because it claims to be a tender beef snack, better than jerky. In my experience though, there were a couple things I should note. It's not that tender. It's not super chewy like some very dry jerky is but it's sort of like a very thick paper. I think it would be a really good texture if it were more tender but as-is, I don't know if people purely prefer it or if it's sort of a traditional thing that has a texture they try to nail. It's not big on flavor. Clearly it is spiced for flavor to a degree but it's very muted. Regarding heat, I have a lot of spicy food so maybe people that don't would think otherwise but, to me, calling it spicy is a huge overstatement. I need to try other biltong because it's entirely possible that this is a prime example and I just don't know it, but if it is I can't say I'm a big fan.

Good Cut/Texture, Spicy Flavor Isn't the Best - Try Traditional!
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Update: Great customer service! They provided a pack of traditional flavor after seeing my review (originally 3 stars, now 5). The traditional flavor is MUCH better and passed the taste-test from everyone in my house. I imagined traditional flavor would be like spicy - just milder. I was wrong, it's a very different flavor, more familiar to American jerky, but still very unique and delicious. Combined with the unique texture (biltong is new to me), it's hard not to eat this by the handful. Getting the right flavor completely changed my opinion. Try traditional first! Original Review: I appreciate the nutrition, great for snacking. The cut/texture is good - seems like thicker cuts of dried meat sliced wafer thin. I tried Spicy Biltong, which wasn't great. I normally share a little bit of jerky with my young son and even my wife has some occasionally. We all agreed that the flavor wasn't great. Maybe other flavors are better. Better flavor would have made all the difference, but at this price, I probably won't risk it.
