Samsung PM9A3 7.68TB 2.5" U.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD

The Samsung MZQL27T6HBLA-00A07 is a 7.68 TB solid state drive that fits the 2.5-inch U.2 form factor and uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface. Designed for servers and storage arrays that move large amounts of data every second, it delivers up to 3 500 MB/s in both sequential reads and writes. The drive’s triple-level cell NAND, together with a controller tuned for enterprise traffic, reaches 800 000 IOPS for 4 KB random reads and 200 000 IOPS for writes, so database queries, virtual machine migrations, and analytics workloads all finish faster.

Security and data integrity are built in. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption protects information without slowing the system, while end-to-end data protection and onboard power-loss safeguards help prevent corruption if power is interrupted. A mean time between failures of two million hours and an endurance rating of one drive write per day make it a dependable option for round-the-clock operation.

Whether you are expanding an all-flash array in a cloud data center, adding high-performance tiers to an on-premises database server, or upgrading a virtualization host that juggles hundreds of guests, this drive brings consistent throughput and low latency in a space-saving U.2 package.
