Know before you buy
No, this drive uses the M.2 22110 form factor, which is longer than the standard 2280 size found in most consumer laptops. It is specifically engineered for server environments and enterprise-grade hardware.
This drive is optimized for data-intensive enterprise applications such as content delivery networks, big data processing, IoT, and artificial intelligence. Its design prioritizes sustained performance and high Quality of Service (QoS) over typical desktop tasks.
No, the Samsung 983 DCT does not support hardware encryption. If your server environment requires data-at-rest encryption, you will need to manage that through your operating system or software-based solutions.
This feature monitors the drive's core temperature and automatically adjusts performance to prevent overheating. It ensures the SSD maintains stability and prevents data throttling during heavy, continuous workloads.
You can expect sequential read speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,100 MB/s. These speeds are optimized to maintain consistent performance during demanding server operations.
Yes, it includes built-in power loss protection. This feature helps safeguard your data in the event of an unexpected power interruption, which is a critical requirement for server reliability.
