  • Random reads up to 400K IOPS for heavy workloads
  • Samsung V-NAND TLC technology for long-lasting reliability

Enterprise SSD for server storage

The Samsung PM1653 provides 15.36TB of capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor for servers that need high-density storage. It is built for data centres and enterprise arrays requiring consistent read performance. Buyers without a SAS disk controller or a compatible server backplane cannot use this drive.

SAS interface and V-NAND TLC flash

The dual-port SAS connection enables redundant paths to the controller for improved availability. Samsung V-NAND TLC technology replaces planar MLC to increase endurance and density within the same physical space. No accessories, cables or management software are included with the OEM tray packaging.

24.0 Gbps SAS speed ceiling

Sequential reads reach 2100 MB/s and random reads hit 400K IOPS within the limits of the 24.0 Gbps SAS link. Actual throughput depends on the server controller, queue depth and workload mix. Write speeds and latency figures are not supplied, so sustained write-heavy workloads should be validated against the controller specifications.

Questions about this item

Will the V-NAND TLC flash need replacement after a certain amount of writes?

The PM1653 uses Samsung V-NAND TLC with enhanced error correction for long-lasting reliability; the drive is rated for sustained enterprise workloads without a user-serviceable wear part.

What throughput limit appears first during continuous heavy reads?

Sequential reads reach up to 2100 MB/s over the 24.0 Gbps SAS link, so the interface bandwidth is the first ceiling under sustained read loads.

How much heat and power does the 2.5-inch 15.36TB drive produce when running all day?

The slim 2.5-inch form factor and dual-port SAS design are built for server bays with active cooling; power draw scales with the 400K IOPS random-read capability.
