Capacity and Form Factor

With a substantial 3.84TB storage capacity, the Samsung PM1743 model MZ3LO3T8HCJR-00AK0 is capable of handling extensive data workloads. This capacity ensures prolonged usage without frequent data migration or the need for additional drives. The drive is available in the 2.5-inch U.2 form factor, which makes it compatible with a wide array of server chassis and enterprise-grade storage enclosures.

Enterprise Storage Capacity Advantages

Storage capacity is a critical factor for IT infrastructures. The 3.84TB capacity allows organizations to:

• Host large databases and applications without performance degradation
• Reduce physical space requirements by consolidating storage resources
• Minimize downtime by avoiding frequent storage replacements or upgrades

Superior NVMe Performance

Utilizing the NVMe 2.0 protocol, the Samsung PM1743 delivers ultra-low latency and exceptional throughput. NVMe enables direct communication between the CPU and the SSD, bypassing legacy interfaces like SATA, thus removing bottlenecks in data processing. This design is particularly beneficial for performance-critical enterprise tasks.

Sequential and Random Read/Write Performance

With read speeds up to 13,000 MB/s and write speeds reaching 6,600 MB/s, the PM1743 redefines performance in the SSD space. Random IOPS are equally impressive, with read IOPS up to 2,500,000 and write IOPS around 250,000, supporting complex multitasking environments with ease.

Reliability and Endurance

Designed for 24/7 operation, the Samsung PM1743 boasts exceptional endurance metrics. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of over 2 million hours and a high Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) rating, users can rely on long-term performance even under constant use.

Power Loss Protection and Error Correction

This SSD includes Power Loss Protection (PLP) to safeguard data during unexpected shutdowns. Advanced ECC (Error Correcting Code) and end-to-end data protection mechanisms ensure data integrity across all levels of storage operations.

Security Features

Security is paramount in enterprise environments. The Samsung PM1743 includes Hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and is compliant with TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 standards. These security protocols enable secure boot, firmware authentication, and comprehensive data protection at rest.

Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) Capabilities
