Samsung PM1653 15.36 TB SAS SSD

The Samsung PM1653 is a 15.36 TB enterprise solid-state drive in a 2.5 inch form factor. It connects through a SAS 24.0 Gbps interface and delivers sequential read speeds up to 4200 MB/s and write speeds up to 3700 MB/s. This new drive is built for server and storage arrays that require high-capacity flash storage.

Suited for capacity-focused server deployments

The drive suits administrators who need large volumes of flash capacity in existing SAS infrastructure. Its 15.36 TB capacity helps consolidate workloads and reduce drive count in compatible bays. Environments that lack SAS controllers or backplanes cannot install this drive, and workloads demanding higher throughput than 4200 MB/s read or 3700 MB/s write should evaluate alternative storage tiers.

Interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 24.0 Gbps interface. Only systems with SAS controllers and backplanes supporting this signalling rate can operate the drive at its rated performance.

Questions about this item

How long can the PM1653 sustain 4200 MB/s reads before throttling?

The drive is rated for 4200 MB/s sequential reads; sustained throughput will depend on the server thermal design and workload mix.

What noise, heat or power impact should be expected when the SSD runs 24/7?

The 2.5 in SAS SSD has no moving parts, so acoustic noise is negligible; power draw and heat scale with the 3700 MB/s write and 4200 MB/s read activity.

Which host interface must the server already provide for this drive to operate?

A SAS 24.0 Gbps backplane or controller is required; the drive uses the standard 2.5 in SAS connector.
