Enterprise SSD for mixed workloads

The Samsung PM893 is a 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive built for servers and storage arrays that need consistent performance across read-heavy and write-heavy tasks. Its V-NAND TLC memory and Metis controller deliver up to 550 MBps sequential read and 520 MBps sequential write with 98,000 and 30,000 random 4 KB IOPS respectively.

960 GB capacity and 1 DWPD endurance

At 960 GB the drive provides enough space for operating systems, databases and virtual-machine images while its 1 drive-write-per-day rating and 1,752 TBW total endurance cover typical mixed enterprise workloads. Workloads that exceed daily full-drive rewrites or require higher write endurance will run out of guaranteed lifespan sooner.

SATA III interface limits

The SATA 600 interface caps maximum throughput at the drive’s rated 550 MBps read and 520 MBps write, so the drive cannot scale beyond that bandwidth ceiling. Systems that need higher queue depths or lower latency than SATA allows will not benefit from faster flash on this interface.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" 960 GB SATA drive work in a server backplane that only supports 3 Gbps SATA?

The drive uses the SATA III interface rated at 600 MBps and is backward compatible with 3 Gbps SATA backplanes, though sequential speeds will be limited by the slower link.

How can I verify the drive is performing to its 550 MBps read and 520 MBps write ratings after installation?

Run a sequential read and write test with a tool such as CrystalDiskMark or fio and compare the results to the 550 MBps read and 520 MBps write specifications.

Does the box include a mounting bracket or SATA cables for a 2.5" bay?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit measuring 100.00 mm x 69.85 mm x 7.00 mm and weighing 70.00 g; brackets and cables must be purchased separately.
