NEW Samsung PM1643a 1.92TB SAS 12Gbps 2.5in SSD MZILT1T9HBJR

New Samsung 1.92TB SAS SSD, a PM1643a read-intensive drive for 2.5-inch SAS bays in Dell 13th to 16th gen and HPE Gen9 to Gen10 Plus. SAS SSDs are the enterprise flash tier for SAS backplanes: they use the same PERC, Smart Array and HBA controllers and the same bays as SAS hard drives, with the full-duplex SAS link and its error handling. They are the straightforward flash upgrade for an existing SAS array.

Specifications

Compatibility

This is a 12 Gb/s SAS drive: it needs a SAS controller and SAS backplane, and a SATA-only controller cannot run it. It links at 12 Gb/s on PERC, Smart Array and HBA controllers alike, including a 24G-capable PERC 12. In a 3.5-inch bay it needs a 2.5-to-3.5 adapter carrier. Dell 13th gen trays differ from 14th to 16th gen trays, and HPE uses its own carriers; we match the tray to your chassis. Browse matching parts for the Dell PowerEdge R740xd.

When to Choose This

Choose the 1.92TB PM1643a for read-intensive VM datastores and file or web tiers on an existing SAS array. Against the SATA Intel S4520 1.92TB it reads close to four times faster sequentially (2,100 vs 550 MB/s) over the SAS link. It is rated 1 DWPD, so for databases with heavy writes the mixed-use S4620 1.92TB or the Kioxia PM7-V is the better fit.
