About this part
New Samsung 3.84 TB PM9D3a U.2 NVMe SSD, a read-intensive PCIe 5.0 drive with AES-256 self-encryption 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; a SAS or SATA bay or a PERC SAS port cannot run it. No tagged host has a PCIe 5.0 U.2 bay: the 14th gen servers link at PCIe 3.0 and the 15th and 16th gen servers at PCIe 4.0, and the drive runs at that generation. A Gen5 drive buys headroom, not Gen5 speed, in these servers. We match the 2.5-inch tray to your chassis. Browse matching parts for the Dell PowerEdge R750xs.
When to Choose This
The 3.84 TB PM9D3a fits read-mostly VM datastores and analytics volumes where self-encryption matters: AES-256 with TCG Opal. In the 15th and 16th gen hosts it runs at Samsung's PCIe 4.0 rating, 7,000 MB/s read, close to the PCIe 4.0 PM9A3 3.84 TB, so pick it if a Gen5 host is coming, the PM9A3 for today's servers. For constant rewrite, the mixed-use Kioxia CD8-V 3.2 TB is rated 3 DWPD.
