Introduction

Enterprise SSD for Business
High performance, highly reliable and secure NVMe® U.2 SSD designed for servers that need enhanced data reliability to safeguard critical data.

Enhanced for speed and reliability
The PM9A3 is the solution to achieving high responsiveness in data centers requiring accelerated performance. Available in capacities of 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB and 7.68TB, the PM9A3 enables your business to excel in handling big data.1

Seamless, high-powered performance
Get fast results with the next-gen NVMe® interface. Sequential read/write speeds of up to 6,900/4,100 MB/s, random read/write speeds of up to 1100K/200K IOPS and a suberb level of QoS (quality of service) allow for real-time big data analytics.2

Secure critical data
Data integrity is critical to data center SSD. The PM9A3 NVMe® U.2 is safeguarded with end-to-end data protection to ensure consistency over the entire data transfer path and prevents data corruption in case of power failure with power loss protection.

Enhanced operations efficiency
Accomplish far more with less. Achieve higher efficiency and performance compared to legacy storage systems, with fewer servers, reduced power and cooling, and lower TCO, all with efficient management from the advanced Samsung SSD Toolkit software. 3

Samsung reliability and quality
Experience the superior SSD quality and reliability of in-house production using Samsung built components. Empower your 24/7 business to run faster, more efficiently, and at reduced costs with world-class dependability with a limited 5-year warranty or 1.0 DWPD.4,5
