Samsung PM9A3 15.36TB 2.5" PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Samsung PM9A3 series is an enterprise-grade internal SSD engineered for high-demand server and data center applications. This model employs the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, adhering to the NVMe 1.4 specification, which facilitates high bandwidth and low latency data transfers. Built on V-NAND TLC flash technology, the drive delivers substantial 15.36TB storage capacity in a standard 2.5-inch form factor, optimized for integration into server racks and workstation chassis.

Performance figures show sequential reading speeds reaching 6900 MB/s and sequential writing speeds up to 4000 MB/s. The PM9A3 is rated for demanding operational metrics, including 850,000 random read IOPS and 160,000 random write IOPS (100% span). The inclusion of the proprietary Samsung Elpis Controller manages these high speeds efficiently across varied enterprise workloads, ensuring consistent performance under load.

The drive incorporates critical enterprise features such as end-to-end data protection, ECC, and enhanced power loss protection technology. Its durability rating specifies 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours. Security is maintained through 256-XTS bit hardware encryption compliant with TCG Opal, providing robust data security. Power management is balanced, exhibiting an average power consumption of 11W during typical operation.
