Samsung PM1653 960 GB SAS SSD

This Samsung PM1653 drive delivers 960 GB of solid-state storage in a 2.5-inch form factor built for enterprise servers. It connects through a SAS 24.0 Gbps interface and provides sequential read speeds up to 4200 MB/s with write speeds of 1200 MB/s. The P Series design targets consistent performance in demanding server workloads.

Suited for server storage arrays.

This SSD fits server and storage arrays that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives running at 24.0 Gbps. It is not intended for desktop PCs or consumer laptops that lack a compatible SAS controller and backplane. Buyers needing a drive for a standard home system should look elsewhere.

SAS 24.0 Gbps interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 24.0 Gbps interface. Your server or storage enclosure must support this exact interface and the 2.5-inch form factor for the drive to function. Verify the controller and backplane specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

What is included with the MZILG960HCHQ-00A07 and what must be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a single 2.5 inch SAS 24.0 Gbps SSD. A compatible SAS backplane, cabling and a RAID controller or HBA are not included and must be sourced separately.

Which capacity of the PM1653 line should I choose for a write-intensive workload?

This model provides 960 GB with a sequential write speed of 1200 MB/s. Select a larger PM1653 capacity if the application requires more space or higher sustained write throughput.

What does the 4200 MB/s read speed mean when the drive is installed in a server?

The 4200 MB/s figure is the maximum sequential read throughput over the SAS 24.0 Gbps interface. Real-world performance depends on the controller, queue depth, block size and overall system configuration.
