PM1633a 2.5” SAS SSD

SSD Performance and Reliability at HDD Cost

BREAKTHROUGH VALUE ENABLES ALL FLASH ENTERPRISE STORAGE TO ELIMINATE SPINNING RUST IN DATA CENTERS

Samsung PM1633a solid-state drive offers up to 1,000 times the performance of 15K RPM hard disk drives at a comparable cost per gigabyte.

Enterprise server and storage administrators face challenging

requirements to deliver mission critical business infrastructure

on a limited budget. Enterprise environments need to deliver

on-premises computing solutions that reliably deliver

predictable performance 24/7, 365 days a year. Considering

each of these factors, IT and data center managers are tasked

with nding optimal storage solutions.

Samsung provides enterprise server and storage

administrators with SSDs that deliver exceptional performance

and reliability in primary enterprise storage applications, such

as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), collaboration platforms,

web servers, email, enterprise resource planning, customer

relationship management (CRM), and SQL databases.

Compared to performance HDDs, these high-performing SAS

SSDs deliver up to four times the performance for sequential

workloads, and up to 1,000 times the performance for random

workloads, while still maintaining a comparable cost per

gigabyte. As the pioneer in vertical-NAND (V-NAND) technology,

Samsung has been delivering enterprise grade SSDs based on

cost-effective TLC memory longer than anyone else. Additionally,

Samsung has the advantage of being a ertically integrated

supplier of SSDs, assuring the highest levels of quality.

Samsung PM1633a SAS SSD delivers:

• Consistently High Performance – Up to 1,000 times the performance of the fastest 15K RPM hard drives, the Samsung PM1633a SAS SSD provides enterprise IT administrators performance to spare. An optimized Samsung native SAS 3.0 controller supplies the drive with 12 Gb/s of bandwidth and provides enterprises the performance margin to prevent costly and disruptive application support tickets.

• Exceptional Value – The same low cost per gigabyte as slower SAS HDDs. By utilizing Samsung state-of-the-art 3D

V-NAND ash memory, cost effective TLC ash memory can

address high-end enterprise applications, outperforming

older planar MLC ash memory, and providing solid state

performance and reliability at hard drive cost. With no moving parts, the PM1633a SAS SSD delivers over 10 times the reliability of spinning disks, reducing the administrative

cost overhead associated with drive replacement.

• Breakthrough Storage Density – Capacities up to 16TB in a

2.5” small form factor (SFF) drive. With 60% higher capacity per drive, and a smaller 2.5” form factor, up to 384TB can be stored in a 2U server. This breakthrough in storage density more than triples the density available with highcapacity HDDs, using an industry standard form factor, and

without sacricing enterprise reliability, availability, and

serviceability (RAS).

PM1633a 2.5” SAS SSD SSD Performance and Reliability at HDD Cost

Optimized for enterprise environments

To deliver enterprise reliability and performance, the Samsung

PM1633a uses a native SAS 3.0 controller, supporting dual-port

highavailability needs. To meet the demand for high utilization,

highly virtualized enterprise environments, the PM1633a SAS

SSD utilizes rmware that prioritizes quality of service (QoS)

for sustained random workloads, to keep all virtual machines

running quickly and smoothly. The rmware is also optimized

for always on, always busy workloads ready to respond quickly

to incoming host requests. With no moving parts to fail, the

PM1633a delivers enterprise class reliability for your critical

business data.

Built for high-density deployments

With 60% more capacity than today’s highest capacity HDDs,

the PM1633a enables enterprise system administrators to keep

up with the growth of business data, without costly datacenter

expansions. The PM1633a delivers all of this storage capacity

in a compact 2.5” 15mm enterprise form factor, rather than

the bulky 3.5” form factor needed for high-capacity hard

drives. The high capacity PM1633a SSD allows for drive count

consolidation, and provides a critical capability to expand

storage within existing infrastructure, rather than requiring

costly new facilities.

Enterprise-grade power loss protection

During normal power-off periods, the host server allocates time

to preserve data integrity by transmitting a standby command to

each device. In the event of an unexpected power loss, though,

the cached data in a storage device’s internal buffers (DRAM)

can be lost. This can occur with unexpected power outages

or when users unplug devices from the system. However, the

Samsung PM1633a SAS SSD has been designed to prevent data

loss resulting from unexpected power shutdowns with its power-

loss protection architecture. Upon detection of a power failure,

the SSD immediately uses the stored energy from tantalum

capacitors to provide enough time to transfer the cached data in

DRAM to the ash memory, ensuring no loss of data.
