480 GB SATA enterprise SSD

The Samsung SM843T is a 2.5-inch solid-state drive built for data-centre workloads. It connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and uses MLC memory to deliver consistent performance in write-intensive environments.

Suits servers needing steady mixed I/O

This drive serves applications that demand high random-read throughput and reliable endurance. It is not for installations that require capacities beyond 480 GB or interfaces other than SATA.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive plugs into any standard SATA 6.0Gb/s port and fits 7.00 mm drive bays. Sequential reads reach 530 MBps and writes 360 MBps, with random reads up to 89,000 IOPS and random writes up to 14,000 IOPS.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface caps real-world throughput at around 530 MBps sequential read and 360 MBps sequential write for this drive.

What physical space does the 2.5-inch 7.00mm drive require?

It fits a standard 2.5-inch bay with 7.00mm height clearance and uses the usual SATA data and power connectors.

How is the drive installed and what step is often missed?

Secure the drive in the bay, attach both SATA data and power cables, then enable AHCI in BIOS so the OS sees full performance.
