Samsung PM1653 960GB 2.5" SAS 24Gb/s SSD

The Samsung MZILG960HCHQ-00A07 is a solid state drive with 960 GB of capacity that installs in standard 2.5 inch SAS bays. Designed for servers that depend on quick, predictable access to data, it uses a dual-port SAS interface running at 24 Gb/s, giving administrators the bandwidth required for demanding databases, analytics jobs, and virtual machines.

In sequential workloads the drive reaches up to 4200 MB/s on reads and 1200 MB/s on writes. Random operations deliver up to 600,000 IOPS when reading and 55,000 IOPS when writing, helping transaction logs, boot images, and frequently accessed tables load without delay.

Samsung builds the PM1653 on 128-layer V-NAND technology, which combines speed with staying power. The endurance rating allows one complete drive write per day for five years, making it a reliable choice for tier-one storage pools, high-availability clusters, and hyper-converged nodes.

The dual-port design keeps servers online even if one path or controller fails. Whether you are adding capacity to an existing 12 Gb/s backplane or planning a full 24 Gb/s deployment, this drive drops in easily and immediately boosts overall I/O performance.
