Ensure you have the appropriate NVMe RAID FoD license, as only Intel-branded NVMe SSDs are supported for RAID configurations. Additionally, verify that you are using Lenovo-qualified NVMe drives for compatibility and consider updating your firmware with the latest Lenovo Bootable Media Creator ISO. [community thread]
First, verify that the NVMe drives in the affected bays are properly seated and connected. Restarting the XClarity Controller (XCC) may also help restore the drive inventory. Additionally, ensure that your server's firmware is up to date and check the VMD settings in the BIOS/UEFI for correct configuration. [community thread]
If you're experiencing low write speeds of 15-20 MBps, this may be expected due to the cacheless nature of the 5350 controller, which operates in write-through mode. To potentially improve performance, you can enable the drive cache using the MegaRAID BIOS interface or storcli commands. For significant speed enhancements, consider upgrading to a controller with a cache module. [community thread]
First, prioritize backing up any accessible data from the disk. Then, check the disk's role in the system using the XCC interface to determine if it's part of a RAID array or a standalone JBOD. If it's part of a RAID, replace the failed disk and allow the array to rebuild; if it's standalone, replace the disk and reconfigure it as JBOD or a RAID 0 array, then restore your data.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST550 does not provide standard SATA power leads from the power supply. Instead, you need to use the proprietary Tape & ODD power harness, specifically the 01KN091 or 03HC016 cables, to supply power to SATA drives. [community thread]
