SAMSUNG PM883 960GB 2.5" SATA Internal SSD

SKU CH-F5X0-08K3P

A 2.5" SATA enterprise SSD with 960GB capacity, 560MB/s read, 520MB/s write, 98K IOPS random read, 1GB LPDDR4 cache and 1366TBW endurance

  • Total capacity960 GB
  • Sequential read speed560 MB/s
  • Sequential write speed520 MB/s
  • Interface typeSATA III
  • Form factor2.5 in (6.35 cm)
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 960GB

  • Read-intensive speed with 98K IOPS random read
  • Sequential throughput of 560 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write
  • Enterprise endurance rated at 1366 TBW and 0.8 DWPD
  • Hardware AES-256 encryption protects data at rest
  • 1GB LPDDR4 cache and end-to-end data protection ensure integrity

Enterprise Read-Optimised Storage

The Samsung PM883 960GB 2.5" SATA SSD is built for data-centre workloads that demand consistent read performance. Its 3D TLC V-NAND and 1GB LPDDR4 cache deliver up to 560 MB/s sequential read and 98K IOPS random read. AES-256 hardware encryption and end-to-end data protection secure information around the clock.

Upgrading from Consumer SATA Drives

This drive replaces standard client SSDs when workloads run 24x7 and require a 0.8 DWPD endurance rating. The 1366 TBW lifetime write budget and power-loss protection make the jump worthwhile for databases, logging or virtualisation hosts that exceed consumer write limits.

960GB Capacity Headroom

At 960GB the drive comfortably holds operating systems, application binaries and active data sets for read-heavy services. Sequential write peaks at 520 MB/s and random write at 28K IOPS, so sustained heavy ingest will saturate the SATA interface before the flash wears out.

Questions about this item

What drive bay size and height clearance does the 2.5-inch PM883 need?

The PM883 fits a standard 2.5-inch bay and is 7mm tall, so it works in slim laptops and servers that accept 7mm drives.

What is the correct way to enable the AES-256 hardware encryption on this SATA SSD?

Enable the self-encrypting drive feature through the system BIOS or a compatible drive-management tool; the encryption runs on the controller and does not need a separate software install.

When will the 960GB PM883 reach its write-endurance limit?

The drive is rated for 1366TB total bytes written, which equals 0.8 drive writes per day over the warranty period.
