About this part
New Samsung 7.68 TB PM9D3a U.2 NVMe SSD, a PCIe 5.0 read-intensive capacity drive on V-NAND TLC 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
Install it only in an NVMe-wired U.2 bay; SAS and SATA backplanes cannot run it. The tagged 14th gen hosts run U.2 at PCIe 3.0 and the 15th and 16th gen hosts at PCIe 4.0, so this PCIe 5.0 drive links at the host generation. Said plainly, 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 R840.
When to Choose This
The 7.68 TB PM9D3a is a capacity drive for read-heavy pools in dense NVMe chassis: file and object stores, analytics, VDI images. Its Gen5 random write rating, 400K IOPS, drops to 200K at PCIe 4.0, the link these hosts provide. The Kioxia CD8P-R 7.68 TB is the other Gen5 choice at the same 1 DWPD; for heavy rewrite, the mixed-use Kioxia CD8-V 12.8 TB carries 3 DWPD.
