Samsung PM1653 7.68TB 2.5" SAS 3700 MBps Enterprise Server SSD

The Samsung MZILG7T6HBLA-00A07 is a solid state drive with 7.68 TB of storage, built for enterprise servers that need reliable throughput. It installs in any standard 2.5 inch bay and connects through a 24 Gbps SAS interface, so you can upgrade existing backplanes without changing your chassis.

By pairing 128-layer V-NAND with the PM1653 controller, the drive reaches up to 4200 MB per second sequential read speed and 3700 MB per second sequential write speed. Random operations peak at 770,000 IOPS for reads and 135,000 IOPS for writes, keeping virtual machines, databases, and analytics tasks responsive even when workloads spike.

Samsung rates the drive for 1.0 write per day across five years. That endurance supports intensive logging, large transaction sets, and cache tiers that rewrite data frequently. Built-in error correction and power loss protection add another layer of confidence for data centers where downtime is not an option.

The 24 Gbps SAS protocol lets one backplane feed many drives without saturating the channel, making this model a strong choice for scale-out storage nodes, computing clusters, and cloud environments that want higher capacity while keeping latency low and power draw moderate.

Whether you are replacing spinning disks or expanding an all-flash tier, the PM1653 platform helps shrink rack space, cut cooling costs, and raise the performance ceiling of critical applications.
