Overview
With the rise of personal, mobile, social and cloud computing, leading data centers are turning to SSDs to meet big
data demands. Samsung’s 3rd-generation V-NAND technology provides high capacities up to 3.84 TB in the same
2.5-inch form factor. Boasting exceptional performance, endurance and power efciency, the new Samsung SATA
2.5-inch PM863a and SM863a SSDs deliver superb IOPS consistency, latency and QoS (quality of service). These
high-performance SSDs provide the essentials for 24/7 data center environments.
High QoS IOPS Consistency Low TCO Power Efciency
PM863a – Robust performance and lower TCO
The PM863a is designed for mixed workload data center
applications, such as CDNs (content delivery networks),
streaming and web servers.
With sequential R/W (read/write) speeds up to 520/480
MB/s and 4 KB random R/W speeds up to 97K/24K IOPS,
it delivers robust performance
workloads.
Generating a better performance-to-power ratio than
HDDs, the PM863a reduces data center operating
costs, resulting in lower TCO (total cost of ownership)
Furthermore, by using the same 2.5-inch SATA interface,
and with capacity options up to 3.84 TB, IT managers can
scale up their data centers using existing infrastructure.

SM863a – Enhanced performance and endurance
With a higher level of endurance than the PM863a,
the SM863a is the ideal choice for write-intensive
applications, such as servers for OLTP (online transaction
processing), emails and databases. The SM863a delivers
sequential R/W speeds up to 510/485 MB/s and 4 KB
random R/W IOPS up to 95K/28K.
