Samsung PM9A3 MZ-QL29600 / MZQL2960HCJR-00A07 960GB PCIe Express Gen4 x4, NVMe 1.4 U.2 2.5 TLC Read Intensive Enterprise SED / AES 256-bit Encryption SSD / Solid State Drive - Brand New
Samsung PM9A3 960GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe U.2 Enterprise SED SSD
Part Number: MZ-QL29600 / MZQL2960HCJR-00A07
The Next Generation of Data Center Performance The Samsung PM9A3 is a bleeding-edge NVMe PCIe 4.0 solid-state drive built specifically for the rigorous demands of enterprise environments. Utilizing Samsung's advanced V-NAND TLC technology, the PM9A3 delivers a massive leap in performance—offering double the bandwidth of legacy PCIe 3.0 drives.
Designed for Read-Intensive (1 DWPD) workloads, this 960GB U.2 drive is the ideal solution for boot drives, caching layers, web servers, and data analytics databases where sustained read speed and low latency are critical.
Key Enterprise Features:
- PCIe 4.0 x4 Interface: Future-proof your infrastructure with sequential reads up to 6,500 MB/s and sequential writes up to 1,500 MB/s.
- Hardware-Level Security (SED): Protect sensitive data at rest with AES 256-bit encryption, perfect for healthcare, finance, and government compliance requirements.
- U.2 NVMe Compatibility: Standard 2.5-inch 7mm form factor utilizing the SFF-8639 connector for easy hot-swapping in modern enterprise backplanes.
- Enterprise Reliability: Rated for 2 million hours MTBF with end-to-end data protection and power-loss protection (PLP) architecture.
Note: This is an Enterprise U.2 NVMe drive designed for server backplanes. It is not compatible with standard SATA connections or consumer laptops.
