Capacity & fit

The Samsung PM4163 is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high-capacity SATA storage. Its 7.68TB capacity suits read-intensive workloads such as content repositories, backup targets and virtualised environments.

SATA 6Gbps interface

The drive connects through a standard SATA 6Gbps interface and delivers up to 2100 MBps sequential read and 2000 MBps sequential write throughput. Random performance reaches 400K IOPS read and 70K IOPS write for mixed enterprise workloads.

TLC NAND endurance

Triple-level cell NAND provides the density needed for the 7.68TB capacity while the onboard controller handles error correction, wear levelling and bad-block mapping without extra host software. No accessories or utilities are bundled with the bare drive.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" drive fit in a standard server bay?

The drive is 10 mm tall, so it fits in any 2.5" bay that accepts 10 mm or greater height; most enterprise trays support this.

What sustained throughput can I expect on a SATA 6 Gbps link?

Sequential reads reach up to 2100 MBps and writes up to 2000 MBps on a SATA 6 Gbps port.

Is the endurance suitable for mixed enterprise workloads?

The PM4163 is an enterprise TLC drive rated for mixed use with 400K random read IOPS and 70K random write IOPS.
