Samsung PM9A3 960GB U.2 NVMe SSD

The Samsung PM9A3 is a 960GB U.2 solid-state drive built for read-intensive data centre workloads. It connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and includes power-loss protection, dual-port capability, error-correcting code and hot-swap support in a 2.5-inch 7mm form factor.

Sustained read performance

Sequential read speed reaches 6500 MB/s with random read performance of 1000K IOPS, while sequential write runs at 1500 MB/s. The drive is engineered for low power draw in small form factors, maintaining consistent throughput for mixed data workloads rather than short bursts.

Compatibility checks

Verify your server or storage array has a U.2 backplane or cable that accepts a 2.5-inch 7mm drive and provides PCIe 4.0 x4 electricals. Confirm the platform supports hot-swap and dual-port operation if those features are required for your topology.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 960GB PM9A3 generate during all-day operation?

The drive is engineered for low power consumption in a 2.5 inch 7mm form factor, making it suitable for continuous read-intensive workloads in dense server environments.

What server slot is required to install this PCIe 4.0 x4 U.2 NVMe drive?

A free PCI-Express slot with U.2 connector support is needed; the card uses a dual-port interface and supports hot-swap installation.

Will this 960GB NVMe drive work alongside older PCIe 3.0 storage in the same system?

Yes, the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, though sequential read speeds will be limited to the older bus capabilities.
