Samsung PM983 U.2 enterprise SSD

The Samsung MZQLB960HAJR-00007 is a 960 GB enterprise solid-state drive built in a 2.5-inch form factor. It connects through a U.2 (SFF-8639) interface running PCI Express 3.0 x4 with NVMe protocol. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 3000 MB/s and writes up to 1050 MB/s while drawing 8.60 W during operation. Data at rest is protected by 256-bit encryption standard.

Suited for read-heavy server workloads

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept U.2 NVMe devices and benefit from high read throughput with power-efficient operation. The 256-bit encryption helps meet data-security requirements. Buyers who need higher write endurance or larger capacities should look at other enterprise models. Systems without a U.2 backplane or PCIe 3.0 x4 support cannot use this drive.

U.2 (SFF-8639) NVMe interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the U.2 (SFF-8639) NVMe interface running PCI Express 3.0 x4. The host must provide a physical U.2 connector and an NVMe-capable PCIe 3.0 x4 lane to the drive slot. Without that exact interface the drive will not be recognised or function.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5" U.2 NVMe drive ship with any cables, mounting brackets or a heatsink?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" U.2 module; power and data cables, mounting hardware and any heatsink must be sourced separately.

How do I decide between the 960 GB PM983 and other capacities in the same series?

Choose the 960 GB model when you need a balance of read-focused endurance and cost per gigabyte for mixed enterprise workloads.

Will the advertised 3000 MB/s sequential read be achievable in a PCIe 3.0 x4 server slot?

Yes, the 3000 MB/s maximum read rate is specified for a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection, so a compatible slot can deliver that throughput.
