SAMSUNG PM1643A 2.5" 960 GB SAS internal SSD

Enterprise SAS SSD for read-intensive workloads

The Samsung PM1643a is a 2.5 inch internal solid-state drive with a 960 GB capacity and a SAS interface. It is designed for data-centre servers and storage arrays that demand consistent read performance and high endurance. The drive targets mission-critical enterprise applications where reliability and total cost of ownership are primary concerns.

Suited for read-heavy arrays.

This SSD suits administrators deploying read-intensive databases, content-delivery nodes or virtualised boot volumes that benefit from sustained throughput. It is not for workloads dominated by heavy random writes such as transaction logging, high-frequency caching or write-heavy analytics clusters that require higher drive writes per day.

SAS interface dictates controller

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS interface, which requires a compatible SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller and a 2.5 inch hot-plug backplane. Without native SAS connectivity the drive cannot be used, so verify your server chassis and controller support before purchase.
