Samsung PM1653 MZILG960HCHQ-00A07 is a 960GB solid-state drive for enterprise storage systems. Its 2.5-inch form factor and SAS interface make it a storage option for compatible SAS infrastructure.
The drive uses SAS 24Gb/s and an SFF-8681 connector. Samsung specifies sequential read speeds up to 4,200 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 3,700 MB/s at this interface speed. Actual performance can vary with operating conditions.
Samsung’s datasheet identifies the PM1653 as using V-NAND and notes backward compatibility with SAS 12Gb/s systems. Compatibility depends on the host system and its interface.
