Samsung PM1653 15.36TB 2.5" SAS 24Gb/s Enterprise SSD

The Samsung MZILG15THBLA-00A07 is a 2.5 inch enterprise solid state drive that brings 15.36 TB of fast and reliable storage to servers and storage arrays.

Its SAS interface operates at 24 Gb/s, delivering sequential read speeds up to 4200 MB per second and sequential write speeds up to 3700 MB per second. For random workloads the drive reaches 800,000 input and output operations per second when reading and 140,000 when writing, so applications maintain consistent response times even during peak activity.

The drive relies on Samsung 128 layer V-NAND technology. By stacking memory cells vertically, this design packs more capacity into the same footprint while keeping latency low and efficiency high.

Endurance is rated at one full drive write per day for five years, making the PM1653 a solid choice for tier one workloads such as transactional databases, large-scale virtualization, real-time analytics, and media streaming systems that generate heavy write traffic.

Administrators who need to maximise rack density will appreciate the standard 2.5 inch form factor, which fits into existing 24 Gb/s SAS backplanes. Combined with firmware tuned for predictable throughput, the PM1653 is an easy upgrade for all-flash arrays or a high-speed caching tier in hybrid storage environments.

Highlights:

• 15.36 TB capacity in a 2.5 inch form factor
• SAS interface runs at 24 Gb/s for rapid data transfer
• Sequential speeds up to 4200 MB/s read and 3700 MB/s write
• Random performance up to 800,000 IOPS read and 140,000 IOPS write
• 128 layer V-NAND stores data densely while improving power efficiency
• Endurance rated at 1.0 drive write per day for five years
