Samsung PM1653 7.68TB SAS SSD

The Samsung PM1653 is a 7.68TB enterprise solid-state drive built for server deployments that require high storage density. It uses a 2.5-inch form factor and connects through a dual-port SAS interface rated at 24.0 Gbps. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 2100 MB/s and random reads up to 400K IOPS.

Suits servers with 24.0 Gbps SAS controllers

This drive fits servers equipped with compatible 24.0 Gbps SAS disk controllers and 2.5-inch drive bays. It is not suitable for systems that lack a compatible SAS controller or that only accept other interface types. Workloads needing higher random-write endurance than the rated specifications should consider alternative drives.

24.0 Gbps dual-port SAS interface

The dual-port SAS 24.0 Gbps interface is the single specification that determines compatibility. The host system must provide a matching SAS controller and backplane to operate the drive at its rated sequential read speed of 2100 MB/s and random read performance of 400K IOPS.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 7.68TB PM1653 fit in my existing SAS backplane that uses 24.0 Gbps controllers?

Yes, the 2.5-inch form factor matches standard SAS drive bays and the 24.0 Gbps interface works with compatible SAS controllers.

How can I verify the drive delivers the rated 2100 MB/s sequential and 400K IOPS random read performance after installation?

Run a SAS-aware benchmark tool such as fio or CrystalDiskMark against the PM1653 and compare the results to the 2100 MB/s sequential and 400K IOPS random read figures.

Does the OEM tray packaging include a mounting bracket, cables or any accessories, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive ships in OEM tray packaging only; mounting brackets, SAS cables and any carrier adapters are not included and must be sourced separately.
