The Samsung SSD Product Families at a Glance

Samsung covers different platforms and workloads with its SSD portfolio: high-performance client SSDs for notebooks and workstations, SATA and NVMe drives for scalable servers, and SAS and PCIe enterprise SSDs for business-critical applications.

Capacity and speed are not the only factors. Interface, form factor, write load, redundancy concept and platform compatibility must also match the system in question.

Frequently Asked Questions About Samsung SSDs

Answers on choosing the right Samsung SSD: differences between client, data center and enterprise SSDs, SATA, SAS and NVMe, the PM893 to PM1753 series, as well as DWPD and part numbers that are not listed in the shop.

First check interface and form factor. After that, workload, daily write volume, capacity, performance requirements and availability concept determine the right series. For a clear match, we ideally need the server or system model, the part number of the existing SSD and the intended use.

Client SSDs are optimized for PCs, notebooks and workstations. Data center SSDs are designed for continuous server operation and, depending on the series, offer features such as Power Loss Protection, consistent performance and management functions. Enterprise SSDs target particularly demanding storage and server platforms and, depending on the model, support higher availability, dual-port connectivity, larger capacities or additional functions for data integrity and security.

SATA offers broad compatibility and is particularly suited to existing server platforms. SAS is geared toward enterprise storage and, with the PM1653, supports dual-port connectivity for highly available systems. NVMe uses PCIe and enables significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency. The system must support the respective interface and the specific form factor.

More on the differences: SATA SSD vs. M.2 SSD and NVMe: The Difference Explained

The PM893 is designed for predominantly read workloads and server boot. The PM897 offers significantly higher write endurance and suits mixed-use applications such as logging, cache tiers, OLTP or databases. What matters is the expected daily write volume, not just the capacity required.

The PM9A3 uses PCIe 4.0 and is an established platform for scalable cloud and server applications. The PM9D3a uses PCIe 5.0*, offers significantly higher performance and additional modern form factors. It suits new server generations and data-intensive workloads. A PM9D3a only delivers its advantages in a platform with a matching PCIe 5.0 connection and sufficient cooling.

* The exceptions are the M.2 models in the shop, which use PCIe 4.0.

PM1743 and PM1753 are PCIe 5.0 enterprise SSDs with 1 DWPD. As the newer generation, the PM1753 offers higher write and random I/O performance and more form factor options. The BM1743 has a different focus: very high capacity for predominantly read workloads and 0.26 DWPD.

DWPD stands for Drive Writes Per Day and describes how often the entire usable capacity of an SSD may be written per day over the specified period. A 3.84 TB SSD with 1 DWPD is designed for around 3.84 TB of write volume per day within the underlying period. For selection, the real write volume should be considered with sufficient headroom.

Ask us anyway. The shop stock shown does not reflect every sourcing option or every project-specific availability. We check the Samsung part number you need, possible delivery dates and, if required, a technically suitable alternative. Use the project inquiry for Samsung SSDs for this.

Note: As of October 2026. Technical data, product status and availability may change; the current Samsung datasheets are authoritative. Performance figures are maximum values and may vary depending on model and system.
