Enterprise SATA SSD for 2.5-inch bays

The Samsung PM893 is a 240 GB enterprise solid-state drive built for 2.5-inch SATA III drive bays. It uses V-NAND TLC memory with a Samsung Metis controller and low-power SDRAM cache. Sequential reads reach 550 MB/s and writes 380 MB/s, while random 4 KB performance delivers up to 98,000 read IOPS and 15,000 write IOPS. The drive is rated for 1 DWPD endurance and 438 TBW total bytes written.

Suits read-heavy server workloads.

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that need reliable SATA storage for boot, logging or read-intensive databases. The 1 DWPD rating and 438 TBW endurance make it suitable for workloads where writes stay within that budget. Buyers who need higher write endurance or larger capacities for sustained mixed workloads should look at drives with higher DWPD ratings.

1 DWPD endurance defines the write budget

The single specification that decides fit is the 1 drive-writes-per-day endurance rating. It sets the maximum sustained write throughput the vendor guarantees over the warranty period. If your application exceeds this write level, the drive may not meet its rated service life. All other performance figures scale within this endurance envelope.

Questions about this item

What does the 550 MBps sequential read speed mean once the drive is installed in a server?

The drive can deliver up to 550 MBps sequential reads over the SATA interface, so large-file transfers and boot sequences will hit that ceiling when the host controller and workload allow it.

Which SATA standard does the PM893 use and what throughput does it limit?

It uses SATA III, which caps the practical throughput at the SATA III line rate of 6 Gbps, so the 550 MBps read and 380 MBps write figures are the real-world limits.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5-inch 7 mm drive need?

It fits a standard 2.5-inch bay with 7.00 mm height, 69.85 mm width and 100.00 mm depth, using the usual SATA data and power connectors.
