SAMSUNG PM963 960GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 22110 internal SSD

Samsung PM963 960GB M.2 22110 NVMe SSD

This Samsung PM963 is a 960GB internal solid-state drive built on an M.2 22110 form factor with a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface. It uses MLC memory components to deliver sustained sequential read speeds of 1800 MB/s and write speeds of 930 MB/s. Designed for read-intensive workloads in servers and data centers, it offers 350K IOPS random read and 30K IOPS random write performance. The drive operates reliably between 0°C and 70°C with an MTBF of 200000000 hours.

Read-Intensive Server and Data Center Workloads

This drive suits environments where sustained high read throughput and low latency are critical, such as database caching, content delivery, or virtualisation storage tiers. The M.2 22110 length and PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface require a compatible slot with appropriate keying and electrical support. Systems limited to shorter M.2 form factors or older interfaces cannot accommodate this part. Write-heavy applications needing higher endurance should evaluate drives specified for mixed or write-intensive use.

M.2 22110 Form Factor and PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe Interface

The 22110 physical length is the single specification that determines compatibility; the motherboard or backplane must provide an M.2 slot keyed for NVMe with at least 110mm of clearance. The PCIe 3.0 x4 electrical interface and NVMe protocol are required to achieve the stated 1800 MB/s read and 930 MB/s write throughput. Verify slot length and protocol support before purchase.
