Samsung PM893 480 GB enterprise SSD

The Samsung PM893 is a 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive built for server and storage arrays. It uses V-NAND TLC memory and a Samsung Metis controller to deliver consistent performance in mixed read-write workloads. A 1 DWPD endurance rating and 876 TBW total bytes written suit write-intensive applications such as databases and virtualisation hosts.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive fits administrators who need a SATA replacement for 2.5-inch hard drives in existing bays and backplanes. The 480 GB capacity works well for boot volumes, logging tiers or caching layers. Buyers who need higher capacity per slot, PCIe-attached throughput or a different endurance class should evaluate other models.

The spec that decides fit

The SATA III interface caps sequential throughput at 550 MBps read and 520 MBps write, so the drive will not exceed the bus limit. Verify that your controller or backplane supports SATA 6 Gb/s to obtain the rated speeds.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch SATA III drive ship with a mounting bracket or adapter, or do I need to buy one separately?

The PM893 is supplied as the bare 7 mm 2.5-inch SATA III drive only; any 3.5-inch bracket, hot-swap caddy or SATA cable must be sourced separately.

The PM893 comes in several capacities — why choose the 480 GB model over the larger ones?

The 480 GB version delivers 98,000 read IOPS and 29,000 write IOPS with 876 TBW endurance, making it cost-effective for read-heavy workloads that do not need more space.

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

In a SATA III backplane the drive can sustain up to 550 MBps sequential reads and 520 MBps writes, with 1.5 W idle and 3.2 W active power draw.
