Samsung PM893 480 GB enterprise SSD

The Samsung PM893 is a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive with 480 GB capacity. It connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface and uses V-NAND MLC memory. The drive is built for server and storage arrays that require consistent throughput.

Suited to read-intensive server workloads

This SSD fits read-heavy applications such as web serving, content delivery or boot volumes where its 98,000 random read IOPS and 1 drive write per day endurance are sufficient. It is not for write-heavy databases, high-transaction OLTP or workloads that exceed the rated endurance.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive requires a backplane, HBA or RAID controller with a SAS 6Gb/s port and 2.5-inch drive bays. A SATA-only controller cannot use this drive, so verify the host interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the V-NAND MLC memory need over its service life?

The V-NAND MLC cells are rated for one full drive write per day, so the 480 GB capacity can absorb 480 GB of new data daily before wear becomes a concern.

Which limit appears first during sustained write workloads on the SAS 6Gb/s interface?

The 29,000 IOPS random write ceiling is reached well before the 6 Gb/s link saturates, making controller write throughput the first bottleneck.

How much heat and power does the 2.5" chassis produce when running all day at 98,000 IOPS read?

At 7.0 mm height the drive fits standard server bays, and enterprise SSDs of this class typically draw under 5 W active, so thermal load stays low in a cooled enclosure.
