What interface does the Samsung PM1643a MZILT7T6HALA-000C3 use?

Dual-port SAS 12Gb/s interface optimized for enterprise servers with compatible SAS controllers and HBA cards. Supports high availability with redundant paths and native command queuing for sustained performance in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 configurations.

What are the endurance and reliability ratings?

1 DWPD over 5 years with 2 million hours MTBF and 1x10^-17 UBER. Includes end-to-end data protection, power-loss protection, advanced ECC, and metadata verification for mission-critical reliability in virtualized and database environments.

Is this SSD suitable for virtualization workloads?

Yes, firmware prioritizes QoS for sustained random I/O across high VM density. Delivers up to 450K random read IOPS making it ideal for VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, and KVM hypervisors handling mixed enterprise workloads.

What are the power and thermal specifications?

Maximum active power 13.5W, idle 5W with operating temperature range 0-70°C. Energy efficient design provides 148 MB/s per watt, 4x better than 15K HDDs, supporting dense server deployments without thermal throttling.

What form factor and compatibility does it support?

Standard 2.5-inch SFF fitting hot-swap bays in enterprise servers from Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem. SAS-only interface requires compatible controllers; not backward compatible with SATA systems.

How does V-NAND TLC technology benefit enterprise use?

64-layer V-NAND TLC outperforms planar MLC in density and endurance while maintaining enterprise reliability. Enables 7.68TB capacity in slim 2.5-inch form with consistent performance for read-intensive applications.
