yes,<br />
you can add standard internal HDD of any brand, in fact there is not brand limitation with storage in any way even not on RAID's drives.<br />
<br />
you have to enable particular SATA port in BIOS when connecting new HDD.<br />
please let us know if there is any RAID involve in your scenario.

I will be using a RAID 1 with two 500 GB's for o/s and two &nbsp;2 TB's for Data.

The TS140 says it can only take up to a 4 TB hard drive, and Lenovo wants you to buy theirs of course.. &nbsp;the only problem with this is their part number is extremely hard to find and they are also really expensive. The lenovo drive is a part number 0C19505 (which goes for about $1300.00 on amazon) which is a seagate drive made just for lenovo, but does anyone know if I can use a standard enterprise seagate drive in the TS140 (say the Seagate Enterprise ST4000VN0001 4 TB 3.5&quot; Internal Hard Drive, retail 250)? &nbsp;Just wondering if anyone has had any success with using non-lenovo drives in this server.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Can you use a non lenovo hard drive in the TS140 Thinkserver

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
