Samsung PM1643a 7.68TB 2.5" SAS SSD

The Samsung PM1643a is an enterprise-class Solid State Drive engineered for deployment within high-demand server and data center environments. It utilizes a 2.5-inch form factor and connects via the SAS 3.0 interface, supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gb/s. This unit provides 7.68 TB of capacity, built upon robust 3D TLC V-NAND technology, optimizing it for large-scale storage arrays and virtualization workloads that require sustained input/output performance.

Performance specifications include sequential read speeds up to 2,100 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 2,000 MB/s. The drive maintains data integrity through robust internal mechanisms, including Error Correction Code (ECC) and full end-to-end data protection. Reliability is rated highly, demonstrated by a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours and an endurance rating of 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD), suitable for intensive enterprise server applications.
