About this part
New Samsung 3.84 TB PM9A3 U.2 NVMe SSD, a read-intensive V-NAND TLC drive in a 7 mm U.2 package for NVMe-wired bays in Dell 14th, 15th and 16th gen servers. U.2 NVMe SSDs connect over four PCIe lanes instead of through a SAS or SATA controller, so they need an NVMe-wired bay and backplane; a SAS or SATA bay cannot run them. They are the low-latency, high-IOPS tier for databases, virtualization and caching, and a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 drive runs at the PCIe generation the host bay provides.

Compatibility
It needs an NVMe-wired U.2 bay and backplane; a SAS or SATA bay cannot run it. The tagged 15th and 16th gen hosts run U.2 at PCIe 4.0, its rated link; the 14th gen hosts run at PCIe 3.0, where Samsung rates it at 3,500 MB/s read. We match the 2.5-inch tray to your chassis.

When to Choose This
The PM9A3 3.84 TB is the proven PCIe 4.0 read-intensive drive for VM datastores, web and analytics tiers, with AES-256 encryption and power-loss protection. It runs at its full rating in the 15th and 16th gen hosts, where a Gen5 PM9D3a 3.84 TB would run at the same PCIe 4.0 link. For write-heavy databases, step to a mixed-use drive such as the Kioxia CD8-V 3.2 TB at 3 DWPD.
