Data center architects face challenging requirements when delivering reliable computing and storage resources at the lowest total cost. Data center servers require high levels of I/O performance to keep their CPUs fully utilized, and high system density to minimize total cost. The storage systems that supply that I/O performance need to deliver consistent performance and latency to all tenant virtual machines and containers 24/7, 365 days a year.

Flexible Family Portfolio

Samsung’s «ninth generation» SATA SSD families (PM893 and PM897) are available in capacities and write endurance levels to meet just about any application. For example, low capacity PM893 SSDs are ideal for high reliability, low power server boot drives. Higher capacity PM893 SSDs are suitable for a variety of mainstream read-intensive applications, such as collaboration platforms, unstructured data storage, content delivery networks (CDN), and hyper-converged infrastructure, such as the capacity tier of a VMware VSAN node. Samsung’s PM897 SSDs offer increased write endurance, making them ideal for mixed read/ write workloads, such as a general purpose or dedicated cache tier of hyper-converged infrastructure like VMware’s VSAN, logging applications, online transaction processing (OLTP), database servers, and other general purpose servers with legacy workloads with unknown write characteristics. All SSDs in this lineup use the same Samsung controller and V-NAND flash memory, to simplify customer qualification and ensure reliable high volume supply.

SATA Interface Saturating Performance

Samsung’s PM893 and PM897 SSDs deliver performance up the maximum allowable for SATA attached drives: up to 560 MB/sec sequential access, and up to 98,000 IOPS for 4 kbyte random read access. Maximum performance not only allows your workloads to complete a quickly as possible, but also allows efficient shared use of high capacity drives, to maximize the performance per gigabyte of data stored.

Hardware Encryption Engine

Samsung’s PM893 and PM897 SSDs keep your private data confidential, with encryption via a hardware based AES-XTS 256-bit encryption engine, and management via the TCG Opal 2.0 standard.
