Samsung PM893 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s 550 MB/s 7.68TB SSD

Overview

The Samsung MZ-7L37T600 is a 2.5 inch solid state drive designed to deliver high capacity and reliable performance for data center environments. With 7.68TB of storage and a SATA 6Gb/s interface, it fits easily into existing server bays without requiring additional hardware changes. The drive supports sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s, enabling fast data transfers for large backups, boot images, and media files.

Its strong random IOPS performance—up to 98,000 for reads and 30,000 for writes—ensures responsiveness in mixed workloads such as virtual machines and database operations. Built with Samsung’s V-NAND TLC technology and equipped with power-loss protection, this SSD maintains data integrity even during unexpected outages. Its low power consumption helps reduce heat and cooling demands, making it suitable for dense server configurations and edge systems with limited power budgets.
