2. Interface: SATA 6Gbps (SATA III), ensuring solid performance with a maximum throughput of 6Gbps. While SATA is not as fast as SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), it provides a more affordable solution while still meeting the needs of many server and storage workloads.
3. Form Factor: 2.5 inches, which is compact and commonly used in modern data centers and enterprise server environments. This form factor helps optimize space in server racks and storage arrays.
4. Performance:
   • Sequential Read/Write Speeds: The PM893 offers good sequential read and write speeds, suitable for workloads that involve continuous data access such as media servers or file servers.
   • Random IOPS: It also provides solid random read/write performance, making it ideal for tasks that require fast access to small chunks of data, such as databases, transactional applications, or virtual machines.
5. Endurance and Reliability:
   • Built with Samsung’s V-NAND technology, which enhances the drive’s performance and durability.
   • Designed for enterprise environments, it offers high reliability and endurance, with advanced wear leveling and error-correcting features.
   • The drive is built to operate in 24/7 environments, ensuring continuous availability and long-term stability.
6. Power Loss Protection: The PM893 is equipped with power-loss protection features, which help ensure data integrity and protect against unexpected power outages, thus minimizing the risk of data corruption.
7. Energy Efficiency: The drive is optimized for low power consumption, making it an energy-efficient solution for data centers, helping reduce overall operational costs.
8. Compatibility: This drive is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage arrays that support the SATA interface, including both legacy and modern systems.

Use Cases:

• Small to Medium Databases: The 480GB capacity is suitable for databases with moderate storage requirements, offering fast data access speeds and reliability.
• Virtualization: The PM893 is ideal for virtualized environments, helping to boost I/O performance for virtual machines and supporting smooth and efficient operation of virtualized infrastructure.
• Web Hosting & File Servers: With good sequential read/write performance, it’s well-suited for web hosting applications and general file storage or backup servers.
• Edge Computing: Ideal for smaller form factor server environments or edge computing applications where space and energy efficiency are important.
